Peruvian Adventure

First stop in Cusco
First stop in Cusco
We felt like our Peru trip was tailored to our liking and it made for a fantastic vacation! We would highly recommend anyone to take a trip with Adventure Life, as we have been looking into a few other trips with them as well. No other travel company comes close to the private, tailored trip like we had. They even made it possible for us to travel by creating a trip based on our travel dates.

Lima to Cusco
From Miami, Florida, USA to Lima, Peru. We arrived in Lima at 4:25 am and spent only a few hours there, by choice, so that we could have more time in Cusco. Having the options to customize our tour, was one of the many reasons we chose Adventure Life to travel with.

Being a native Floridian and used to an astonishing 12 feet (3.7 m) in …

Whitewater Rafting
Today we met Juan for a trip to the Cusipata section of the Upper Urubamba River. During our drive there, we traveled past terraced fields of corn, potatoes, and other crops.

Mountain Biking Chinchero
Today we drove up to Allpachaca, 12,000 feet elevation to begin our biking tour. Before we started our biking journey we visited a weaving demonstration and learned how the villagers make different color dyes out of bugs and plants.

Hiking the Quenua Sundur
After breakfast, we began our trek through the mountains. The hike today was about 8 miles in length and was very difficult due to the altitude. We made multiple stops to catch our breath.

Machu Picchu and return to Cusco
Our guide instructed us on the best time to head over to Machu Picchu, which was early, but well worth it, since we avoided the mass crowds.

Juan showed us all around the ruins and explained the significance of Machu Picchu. After he finished showing us around, he gave us free time to explore on our own.

We trekked up the back of the ruins …

Bus to Puno
Today we said our goodbye's to our driver and our guide and we headed onto a luxurious bus that took us from Cusco to Lake Titicaca.

Islands of Lake Titicaca and Kayaking the Uros Floating Isla
We got picked up and transfered to Esteves Island, where we met the kayak guide. Our guide had an additional person in her kayak to help her paddle, while my husband and I were in the other kayak. We paddled through the reeds towards Uros Floating Islands. This was about a 45 minute paddle. We saw a variety of different birds along the way. …
