What Our Travelers Say About Us

An unforgettable Peru trip thanks to Exploor Peru!

Exploor was the best choice we made for our Peru trip. They planned every part of the trip exceptionally well right from the planning to scheduling and sharing of information.

They had a great team who were prompt, friendly and thorough. A big shoutout to Rosmy from the planning team and Maik and Grimaldo who were our guides. They went over and above for each leg of the trip. Great vehicles, good restaurant selection for meals, well-explained tours made the whole experience very memorable and comfortable. An added bonus was the great photo taking which our guides were experts in 🙂 10/10 recommended!

The admin team: Walter, Karen, Rosmy held down the plans! The tour guides: Kari and Andrea …10/10! I feel like I completed a college course on the history of Peru! The drivers made us feel 100% safe and were also very accommodating. Well done team!!

Did You Know?

Rainbow Mountain was only revealed in recent years when melting snow exposed its vibrant mineral layers. Sitting at over 5,200 meters (17,060 feet) above sea level, it is one of the highest trekking destinations in Peru.

The Palccoyo alternative sits slightly lower and offers equally dramatic scenery without the intense climb. Our tours operate with strict altitude safety standards and support local Andean communities along the route.
