What people love about touring Peru solo
If you can go to Peru GO! I had an awesome guide and driver while I visited Cusco, Scared Valley, Machu Picchu and Pisaq. I’m a solo woman traveler and always felt safe during my visit. Carlos was very knowledgeable and a great person. When heading to Puno, I was on a bus tour. I guess I was really spoiled by having a private tour that the bus tour was ok. It was rushed and I didn’t get much out of it. Once I was in Puno, I had a great hotel over looking Lake Titicaca. The tour guide to Uros and Taquile island was really good and learned a lot from him. I had extra time before my flight and Inkayni Tours was able to get me a tour last minute to the Stargate. The tour guide and driver were such great people and knowledgeable and was a great way to end my trip!!!
Southern Treasures - 8 Days
- WONDERS OF PERU - 9 DAYS – CUSCO & PUNO
Amazing holiday from start to finish....packs alot in so if you want to laze around maybe not the tour for you but we loved every minute.....need to be fairly fit, I'm a reasonably fit 55 year old but did struggle at times on some of the hikes.....defo recommended ????????
- Inca Trail to Machu Picchu + Rainbow Mountain 8 days
William, Sarah, the chefs and porters made this experience absolutely unforgettable. William & Sarah were constantly making me feel safe on the trek & were truly knowledgeable. They even made me a birthday cake on the side of the mountain and surprised me with it. I would absolutely recommend this trip to anyone & will never forget it!
