Treat your taste buds in Lima
Welcome to the (foodie) capital of Peru! Lima is one of the hottest food destinations in the world with an abundance of fresh, native produce and talented chefs cooking up a storm of traditional and creative Peruvian dishes. Be sure to try ceviche (cured raw fish), lomo saltado (beef stir fry), anticuchos de corazó (grilled beef heart skewers) and butifarra (pork sandwich) – all washed down with a pisco sour (or two).
Discover ancient culture in Sacred Valley
Sacred Valley has been a vital source of food for locals in the high Andes for centuries. It's also home to the spectacular ruins of Sacsayhuamán – another site that will show you how epic the Inca civilisation was. Take part in an ancient cooking ritual with the Chichubamba people, hike to the top of the terraces for soul-stirring views of the valley or learn how to make traditional chocolate or corn-beer.
Hike the iconic Inca Trail
Follow in the footsteps of a great lost civilisation on the iconic Inca Trail. After tackling challenging mountain passes, walking through mist-shrouded forests and waking up to snow-capped views of the Andes, the feeling of reaching the Sun Gate which overlooks the ancient 15th-century citadel of Machu Picchu will stay with you forever. This bucket-list hike is definitely one for the highlight reel.
Hang out in the Amazon
Journey into the untouched world of the Amazon on an immersive jungle adventure. Stay in a nature lodge and wake up to the ambient chirps, trills and croaks of exotic birds, cruise down the Amazon River on a canoe in search of rare giant river otters and discover the healing properties of native plants as you hike beneath leafy canopies with a local guide.

Inca Trail Express from Lima
Melissa · Traveled April 2024
This trip was incredible! Overall was very well organized from booking to end of trip. Customer service representatives were excellent, fast with responses, helpful, and well informed. Our Tour Leaders in each city (Lima and Cusco) were the absolute best and most notable! Specifically, Ali (Lima) was a great communicator, kind, helpful, and well organized. Jose Luis Castro (Cusco) was one of the best guides I've ever had with any travel experience. He was not only remarkably knowledgeable in all things related to our tour, local and I can culture, local foods, local wildlife/environment, but he was a great communicator, well-organized, and on top of organizing every event. He offered great options, choices for local recommendations. You could tell he took pride in his work and felt responsible for our group, taking comprehensive care of all members of our group. He made the tour so much fun, enjoyable, and reduced any concerns, and we are so grateful to have had him for our guide! He went above and beyond to oversee care for a small ankle injury of mine while on the trail, and took care of many others through altitude challenges and overheating. He was not only attentive, caring, knowledgeable, well invested in the health, well-being, and enjoyment of our group, but also came to become a friend. Any opportunity to book with Intrepid we would request Jose. Ronald was also notably incredible in knowledge, skill, kindness, and well organized in his planning and care of our group. The porters, Chef Wilber, and rest of our team was incredible! The food was delicious and we as a group truly respect and honor the hard work all members of our team put into planning, coordinating, executing, and getting us through our trek safely and happily.

This was a brilliant trip. The itinerary is well put together and enables you to experience Peru in detail. Our guide Giscard Condori was exceptional and made the trip very special through all his hard work.

Thoroughly enjoyed the trip and covered lots of different areas of Peru. It was fantastic not only to visit lots of the main tourist attractions but also have the local knowledge to explore even further.

Peru Encompassed is a great trip to experience all the best of Peru. We had a great tour leader, Giscard, who actively helped us with any issues/concerns and also helped us organise our optional add-ons without fuss. His local/historical knowledge (including food 'highlights') and life experiences of Peru are great and we were always mesmerised with his stories.
Note that while the hotel stays are 3-star, there is camping (on the Inca Trail hike option), Lake Titikaka homestay, and Amazon Jungle Eco Lodge which are not 3-star accommodation. Take this into consideration when choosing between this trip for the more adventurous, or the Premium comfort version.

I really enjoyed this trip. I would recommend this for people on a budget and want to experience everything that Peru has to offer.
If you get Giscard on your trip, you should have a good time. With the way Giscard handled the activities, he made a good trip into a great one with his attention to detail and initiative.
