What people love about touring Peru solo
- Peru: Ancient Cities & the Andes
I had a fantastic guide and group of people to spend time with. The itinerary was fast paced but covered many must see places in Peru, the G Adventures porters on the Inca Trail were amazing and provided us with really nice meals (I heard the same about the Lares Trek). Average age of the group was late 20s and a mix of solo travellers and pairs. Highly recommended!
- Amazon to the Andes
The knowledge and passion of our tour guide! Loved the Inca trail as well
- Inca Discovery
It was a great way to travel as I was traveling solo. Everyone was friendly and included me even though I was the oldest by 15 years! Even though it was a tour, we had ample free time.
What our customers ask about Peru Tours for Solo Travelers
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. Group activities range from Lima cooking classes to communal dining at local spots like Parwa Community Restaurant in Sacred Valley and group treks to Rainbow Mountain. A TourRadar traveler shares: "The guides were excellent and really helped bond our group together making solo travelers feel comfortable and included throughout the journey."
What safety considerations should solo travelers keep in mind for Peru?
Main tourist destinations in Peru maintain good safety standards especially with established tour operators. Reputable accommodations such as Tierra Viva in Cusco and Lima Wasi in Lima offer secure locations and round-the-clock front desk service. Professional guides stay with groups during key activities including Machu Picchu visits. A TourRadar traveler notes: "I felt completely safe as a solo traveller and in good hands. The guides were always there when needed and gave great safety advice."
Which areas of Peru are most solo traveler-friendly?
Cusco and Sacred Valley stand out as welcoming spots for solo travelers thanks to their well-developed tourist setup. Cusco's historic center lets you explore safely on foot with plenty of dining spots markets and cultural attractions. The San Blas area of Cusco and Sacred Valley towns like Ollantaytambo make meeting other travelers natural and easy according to TourRadar reviews. Lima's Miraflores and Barranco neighborhoods also offer comfortable spaces for independent travelers.
What's the typical single supplement cost on Peru tours?
Extra costs for single rooms in Peru usually fall between USD 200-400 based on hotel quality. At properties like Tierra Viva in Cusco or Jose Antonio Deluxe in Lima travelers can choose between private rooms with the supplement or shared rooms with another solo traveler of the same gender. One TourRadar traveler reports: "I was put in my own room in each hotel thereby saving myself the supplement cost."
What's the best time of year for solo travelers to visit Peru?
The dry months from May to October bring more travelers and increased tour options making it ideal for solo visitors. Booking data shows July and August attract the highest numbers of independent travelers creating more chances to meet others. A TourRadar traveler notes: "Traveling in July meant perfect weather and lots of other travelers to meet especially in places like Cusco and the Sacred Valley."
How do guided tours handle altitude acclimatization for solo travelers in Peru?
Tour companies take a measured approach to altitude adjustment especially around Cusco at 11152 feet. 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. They were especially attentive to solo travelers who didn't have a companion to monitor their symptoms."
