    Tour Details
    • Encounters TravelOperator•Written January 2022

      Although we do offer tailored services, private tour arrangements in Peru are alot more expensive than group travel. Would you kindly advise the budget you have available per person, excluding international flights? If you would please also let us know which parts of the trip you would like to tailor. We would then get back to you on whether a private tour is possible within your given budget.

Can’t find the answer to your question?
Reach out to the experts at Encounters Travel with your enquiry, they usually respond within 1 day.
