What people love about touring Peru solo
- 6 Days Of Adventure: Cusco, Machu Picchu, Humantay Lake, And Rainbow Mountain
Jeny is very good and professional tour guide. She is very friendly and responsive. She is recommended to anyone. Hotel in Cuzco is rated below 3 stars .
- 8 Days Tour: Lima, Cusco, Machu Picchu & Puno – Includes Domestic Flights & Vistadome Train
The tour was fun, well organized and the guide julio was funny, interesting and easy to talk. The other were ok too and waman aventure respond to all my questions.
- Inca Treasures - 6 Days
We had a great time. Local guide (Machu Picchu, Moray, Chinchero and the Salt Mines), Erlin, was an encyclopedia of Inca history. He was very patient and attentive to our need for frequent rest and hydration due to the altitude. Praises also for our driver, Guido, who drove us safely to our tour stops. Our guide for the Inca Bridge and the Salt Mines, Saul, was also very good. David brought us to the Rainbow Mountain and he was also very mindful of the difficulties of being at 15,000+ ft. elevation. The hotels were both excellent. Meals were good. We packed an incredible amount of activity in 6 days.

How social are the Peru group tours for solo travelers?
Peru tours create natural opportunities to connect with fellow travelers. The "Solo-ish Peru" tour joins like-minded explorers for shared experiences. About 55% of travelers on Peru tours arrive solo particularly in Cusco and Machu Picchu regions.

The guides were always there when needed and gave great safety advice."
Which areas of Peru are most solo traveler-friendly?

Trips start at lower elevations before moving to higher sites like Rainbow Mountain at 16466 feet. According to a TourRadar traveler: "Our guide made sure we took it slow drank coca tea and had proper rest periods.
