MEET OUR GUIDES:
Sebastian Hansen
"Your guides are the most professional and knowledgable I've encounted. Sebastian rolled with the unexpected and helped the entire group of strangers work like a team. We had a host of crazy circumstances... one backpack didn't make it from Santiago, severly people got stomach problems, one guest left his camera in a restaurant that closed for New Years, there were dietary restrictions I'd never even heard of, we had marathon runners and mortals. Sebastian handled each and every event and guest with professionalism and kept us all together as a unit. This is my TENTH active group trip and I have to say... Sebastian Rocks!!"

Exploring Peru With My New Family
By Jenny Hartshorne Since I’ve been back from my seven-day vacation in Peru, friends ask me, 'Hey what have you been up to this summer?' I love saying I went to Peru... There's a bit of mystery to it. Not the same as 'Went down to the shore for a week.' I say 'Well, I was in Peru, went to the Amazon Rainforest and stayed in a cool jungle camp with thatched huts and hammocks in front, macaws and parrots flying free, tarantulas in the trees nearby. The jungle was full of boas, anaconda, monkeys and of course lizards of all sizes.' I organized the trip with my new blended family by signing up with Active South America, a really first-rate tour company. Since there were only five of us we were matched with another family of our size. Read more...
"The best trip of my life. I can't say enough about the dedication and enthusiasm of the ACTIVE staff and trip leader. You guys obviously care about what you do in giving the traveler the best possible experience. So glad we booked with ACTIVE! Thanks for everything. I will recommend you to all! "

FOOTAGE OF OUR PERU TRIP - THE JAGUAR!
by Caroline HalsePeru Trips and Ideas for Visiting Peru
Inca temples, steamy jungle and colourful markets are just a few of the experiences you'll have on a Peru trip. Its vibrant culture and stunning natural setting make it the ideal place for an adventure holiday!|
Once the home of the largest empire in the world, Peru is a mystical and enigmatic country full of Inca ruins, ancient terraces and cobbled pathways. It was the major source of treasure for Europe in the sixteenth century and was home to the world's first stone pyramids, a fact only recently discovered in the late twentieth century. All this human history adorns Peru's true treasures - its immense snowy peaks, tropical rainforest and desert coastline.
Adventure trips to Peru offer so much more than a good workout in great scenery. Where else in the world can you trek through mountains for three days to arrive at a mystical Inca citadel in the middle of nowhere? Or kayak the highest navigable lake in the world to a floating village made completely of reeds and a culture that's been around since Inca times? Its this convergence of alluring culture, fascinating people and stunning natural landscape that will make your Peru tour unforgettable. |
