Peru Tours for Solo Travelers
Solo travelers find great companions on our small group treks, particularly the Inca Trail and Salkantay routes. You'll naturally connect with others while hiking mountain passes and sharing meals cooked by our skilled mountain chefs. The 4-day Salkantay Trek is especially popular, mixing solid hiking with relaxed evenings at camp. Our 10-day Cusco tours work nicely for singles too - you'll walk through markets with local guides, join cooking classes and also meet other travelers. For jungle experiences, our 3-day Tambopata tours offer private rooms in quality lodges plus guided wildlife walks in small groups.

What people love about touring Peru solo
- Inca Treasures - 6 Days
Before making my reservation, my husband and I did a lot of research on the different operators and I am so glad we did the Inca treasures with Waman Adventures. Our guide was wonderful and took very good care of us, the hotels were nice and clean, the food was also delicious. I definitely recommend it.
- 7 Day Inca Jungle Adventure To Machu Picchu with Mountain Bike, Rafting, Zip Line and Trek.
What incredible trip with the Inca Jungle! Since the first moment I enjoyed a lot with the guide Waldir, he is fun and the tour was enjoyable. We started with a cultural half-day tour and the most interesting part for me was visiting the Salt Mines. The next day we continued with the adventure, and we received all equipment to do the biking and rafting activity. The homestays included were clean, and the walk thought a part of the Inca Trail was very nice. Also, I tasted a delicious coffee prepared at the moment, the zip-line activity was good, the last part we continued walking until arrive to Aguas Calientes, this is a small town surrounded by mountains and the weather is nice, here we spent the night in a hotel and next day in the morning we arrived to Machu Picchu by bus. To return we had a touristic train and the last part we returned by car to Cusco. If you want to do this tour, do not forget to bring sun cream and mainly the insect repellent because there are small mosquitoes and you do not notice when you get stung. A huge embrace to my friend Waldir and all Inkayni staff for the nice tour.
- 7 Day Andean Experience Through the Living Culture of the Incas
I did the Andean Experience with Inkayni Peru Tours. It was incredible. All the tours were interesting with a really good logistic. I always felt very safe doing all the tours. A special shoutout to our guide, Miguel (Miki), who was always smiling, supportive and who gave us loads of information about the inca civilisation. We could see that he was really passionate about it. He always made sure that everyone in the group felt included. Everything was great. I would 100% recommend it.
