Happy New Year to you, Peru
The surf, sand and sun of the coast are calling this January. Summertime in Peru sees full beaches and big waves. Since the higher regions will be pretty damp this month (thank you, wet season), the coastal regions come alive. The rainy season in Peru runs from December to March, and the Inca Trail is closed for repairs in February. So, jump aboard a train or trek tour in January to see the Lost City before cooling down in Cusco, setting off for Lake Titicaca, jumping over to the Amazon or venturing back to lively Lima.

Highly recommended trip. Nice combination of nature exploring, history, anthropology, social studies of local people and customs. Great staff from Intrepid travel, from porters to cooks to guides. All questions promptly answered. They are ready for any emergencies (altitude sickness, fever... ).

Excellent guide and trip organization! Kleberth, our guide and tour organizer, was a real pleasure to get to know, a great educator and fun leader on the trail. He genuinely cares about the community and the other travelers who have come to learn about, experience and challenge themselves in the mountains of Peru. He is a great story teller. The porters were amazing and an inspiration to see passing us and helping on the trail. The trip is great for socializing with other travelers and meeting locals. Would be great for both small groups/couples and solo travelers.

Peru has been on our bucket list for a long time and didn't disappoint. Our Tour Leader, Luis, was outstanding, particularly as our group were faced with a major obstacle.
Apart from visiting Machu Pichhu, our next favourite thing was having lunch with the Quechua ladies. They were very welcoming and cooked us a huge, delicious lunch.
Thank you Luis and Intrepid for making this such a wonderful trip.
