At Apus Peru, our mission is to get you off the beaten track and into the mountains, experiencing the best the Andes has to offer and catching a glimpse of the REAL Peru. We create high quality Treks and Excursions that foster authentic experiences that will leave lasting memories.
You’ll explore Peru with all your senses, from admiring the stunning vistas, touching silky soft woven alpaca products, taking in Andean rhythms, or tasting everything from traditional delicacies like cuy to the world-renowned Novo Andino cuisine.
All of our treks include a Standard level of service that includes 3-star hotels and scrumptious meals, but we can also design a custom experience for you with a higher comfort level – from boutique to high end luxury! And for some of our excursions and trek extension tours, you can pick your Style of Travel right off the bat.
We offer four styles of travel: Standard, Comfort, Boutique and Luxury. The difference between these styles is in the hotels, restaurants and train services we book; the rest of the Apus Peru experience is the same high quality service, no matter which style of travel you choose. For hotel examples in each Style, see our Destinations pages. Each city has its own page with tips about what to do, where to stay and what to eat. The Hotels tab lists our top-recommended hotels in each of our four Style of Hotel categories.
