Ecuador and Peru Tours & Trips
Could you imagine Machu Picchu's precise stone walls rising against misty Andean peaks, then swimming next to sea lions in the Galapagos? You'll watch blue-footed boobies do their distinctive mating dance and meet giant tortoises. The snorkeling is particularly amazing, with sea turtles, reef sharks and tropical fish regularly glide past. History and nature await.

Intrepid is great tour group, with the best guides. We saw and did everything on my bucket list and more. The downside of this particular trip was there was way too much time lost sitting in airports. I would travel with Intrepid again in a heartbeat !

Overall pretty good. Of course its budget tour so mainly basic accommodation which is expected. We got a guide for 10 days then another guide for the rest. The tour split into 2 parts. I enjoy meeting new people. I had a great time. Overall enjoyable. There was one mixed up however that I was upset. My meet up hotel on the start of the tour got change. I did not get an email from touradar or g adventure about it at all of the new update. They posted the update on touradar chat that I was doing which of course you dont logged into the website to check. You figured they would sent email on any changed. There I was in a foreign country and showed up and the meet up hotel but no one was there. I panicked, good things the reception at that hotel was so helpful was calling g adventures for me to see what is going on. Turned out they changed the meet up point to a different hotel. Was really stressful first day. Both touradar and g adventures should have communicate better with customers. I contacted g adventures about the mixed up and voice my complaints but no one ever got back to me. Next time please if there are changes in the intineary email or contact the customers to let them know not expect them to know.

Jeferson at Responsible Travel did a fantastic job helping me plan my itinerary. Every question I asked in Australia was answered within 24 hours in the planning phase. Ecuador is incredibly diverse but my itinerary covered many different ecosystems, pretty towns, amazing national parks and visits to indigenous communities which was amazing. When I needed a slight alteration to the schedule, Jeferson was flexible and wherever I went an amazing guide was ready to show me his area with huge local knowledge. Every transfer was organised. Nothing went wrong because I was in capable, professional and caring hands.

Best time to visit Ecuador and Peru
- Summer 2026
Our summer tours run 18-22 days and take you through three distinct worlds - from Amazon jungle paths to Andean peaks and finally the Galapagos waters. Local guides share their knowledge of medicinal plants during daytime walks, then lead you into the jungle after dark when different wildlife emerges. Up in the mountains, you'll sit with families who teach traditional weaving in the Sacred Valley and welcome you into their homes on Lake Titicaca's islands. The Galapagos part gets really active with daily snorkeling near curious sea lions at Las Tintoreras, climbing the rocky Sierra Negra volcano and watching giant tortoises lumber across the Santa Cruz highlands. Many of our travelers say the cooking classes are a highlight - they learn to make proper encebollado tuna soup using fresh local ingredients and time-tested methods.

- Fall / Autumn 2026
Fall tours ranging from 14-22 days blend culture, history and outdoor activities across Ecuador and Peru. Starting from either Quito or Lima, you'll walk colonial streets with guides who know every hidden corner before heading to the Sacred Valley. The local markets are fascinating - you can learn about traditional farming, try your hand at regional cooking and explore at your own pace. Out in the Galapagos, days fill up quickly with snorkeling near reef sharks, walking volcanic terrain and paddling kayaks past blue-footed booby nesting sites. Our travelers often tell us how much they value the free time built into these routes - perfect for capturing photos of Cuenca's terracotta roofs, trying different local spots for dinner or simply watching Andean condors glide overhead.

- Winter 2026 / 2027
Winter tours through Peru and Ecuador blend prime opportunities for cultural insights and wildlife encounters. Multi-country routes from Bogota to Lima immerse you in indigenous life while moving between vibrant cities, with bicycle explorations through Lima's Miraflores neighborhood and stops at Quito's Middle of the World monument. The comprehensive Peru and Galapagos packages span 15 days and draw many travelers in winter months, beginning in Lima before winding through Cusco's historic lanes and ascending to Machu Picchu. Our guests consistently note how these itineraries manage elevation changes thoughtfully, with dedicated time in Cusco for adjusting before heading to higher ground. In the Galapagos, you'll find yourself face-to-face with sea creatures around Las Tintoreras, while Ecuador's mainland offers rich cultural experiences in markets and colonial quarters. These winter journeys stand out for their smart mix of indoor and outdoor activities - you might explore museums or watch traditional weaving demonstrations in the morning, then set out for hiking trails or snorkeling spots when conditions are just right.

- Spring 2027
Spring tours covering Ecuador and Peru blend cultural discoveries with outdoor experiences over 14-22 days, with departures from either Quito or Lima. Local guides lead you through hidden corners of colonial streets before moving into the Sacred Valley, where seasonal markets come alive with farming demonstrations and cooking classes. The climate makes this the perfect time to visit the Galapagos, and our travelers love mixing snorkeling near reef sharks with walks on volcanic terrain, and kayaking past blue-footed booby nesting grounds. These spring itineraries include well-placed free afternoons that let you photograph Cuenca's terracotta roofs, explore local dining spots, or watch Andean condors glide past. The natural diversity comes from combining Amazon jungle lodge stays, mountain trails through Incan ruins, and island excursions in the Galapagos, which keeps each day distinctly engaging.
