Adventurous Peru

Summary

Why Choose This Experience

Experience an extensive tour of the country with Perú Aventurero, a 20-day, 19-night package that connects the coast, the Altiplano, Cusco, and the Cordillera Blanca. The itinerary combines cultural visits, boat trips, mountain scenery, and hiking excursions for travelers who want to spend more time exploring Peru’s diversity. The trip begins in Lima and continues on to Paracas and Nazca, where a boat trip to the Ballestas Islands and a scenic flight over the Nazca Lines are scheduled. Next, Arequipa and the Colca Valley introduce the Andean landscapes that will accompany much of the journey. The Puno leg includes a boat tour on Lake Titicaca and visits to Uros and Taquile, before continuing along the Ruta del Sol to Cusco. There, you’ll explore the city and the Sacred Valley, visit Machu Picchu, and have time in Aguas Calientes according to the confirmed itinerary. The Mountain of Seven Colors offers an active day, while the following day allows for rest or an optional excursion to Humantay. The final leg changes the scenery once again: the flight to Lima and the overland connection to Huaraz kick off the Cordillera Blanca leg, featuring a free day and the scheduled excursion to Laguna 69. This combination may interest you if you’re looking for a trip that goes beyond short circuits and brings together different natural environments in a single experience. BeFun will help you review accommodations, overnight bus segments, and the necessary connections for each stage. Given the duration and physical demands of some days, it’s important to plan for acclimatization, rest, and hiking gear. You’ll also need to confirm tickets, meals, and optional services, along with any fees that are paid separately. Request a proposal for your dates and learn the details of the full itinerary.
