GLOBAL GOODWILL TOURS
Discover Peru
Incan ruins above the clouds, a floating lake village, and Amazon rainforest below.
High mountains, ancient stone, and a coastline the Pacific has been shaping for millennia.
Peru holds one of the most complete ranges of experiences of any country on earth. In the same trip, you can stand in a cloud forest looking at a 500-year-old Incan citadel, float across a lake at 12,500 feet on an island built entirely of reeds, and eat some of the best food on the continent that same night in Lima. Few countries move between altitude, culture, and landscape this dramatically, and few reward the traveler willing to follow that shift as generously as Peru does.
Conservation & Community Connection
Peru is home to some of the most active community-led stewardship in South America, and it shapes how we build every itinerary here. On Lake Titicaca, the Uros people manage their floating islands as a living, self-sustaining practice — tourism revenue goes directly back into the community rather than outside operators. In the Sacred Valley, women-led weaving cooperatives keep centuries-old textile traditions alive, using natural dyes and pre-Incan techniques passed down through generations. In the Amazon Basin, community-managed lodges partner with conservation programs that fund reforestation and protect wildlife corridors, giving local families a direct economic stake in keeping the rainforest intact. Traveling through Peru with us means putting resources into the hands of the women, youth, and communities already doing this work.
Experiences we can provide:
- Sacred Valley & Machu Picchu — The classic Peru, and for good reason. Incan terraces still farmed today, colonial towns built directly on Incan foundations, and the walk into Machu Picchu itself — a citadel so precisely built into the mountain that its purpose is still debated by archaeologists.
- Lake Titicaca & the Floating Islands — The highest navigable lake in the world, shared with Bolivia. The Uros people have built and rebuilt their homes on floating reed islands for generations, adapting the same land they stand on as the reeds beneath them slowly decompose. A genuinely different way of understanding home.
- The Amazon Basin — A different country entirely once you descend from the Andes. Lodge-based travel by river, night walks, and wildlife — macaws, caimans, pink river dolphins — that exists nowhere else on this itinerary.
- Cusco & Andean Culture — Once the capital of the Incan Empire, now a living city where Quechua language, weaving traditions, and mountain agriculture continue much as they have for centuries, alongside a genuinely vibrant modern Peruvian city.
- Coastal Peru & Lima — Peru’s culinary capital and one of the most acclaimed food cities in the world, set against colonial architecture and a desert coastline where the Andes meet the Pacific almost without warning.
A practical note on altitude: Cusco and the Sacred Valley sit above 11,000 feet. Most itineraries build in a day or two of acclimatization before any strenuous activity — this isn’t optional, it’s part of doing Peru well.
Ideal length: 10–12 days allows for the Sacred Valley, Machu Picchu, and one additional region (Titicaca or the Amazon) without feeling rushed between altitudes. A tighter 7-day version can focus purely on Cusco and Machu Picchu for travelers with less time.
