" I had an incredible experience with Intense Peru planning my trip to Machu Picchu, Cusco, and the Sacred Valley. Everything was perfectly organized from start to finish. I honestly didn’t have to think or worry about anything while I was there. Overall, it was an unforgettable experience, and I would absolutely recommend Intense Peru to both my Peruvian and international friends. I wouldn’t hesitate to travel with them again!"

" I usually organise my trips myself, so I wasn’t sure what to expect, but from the very first day, Karen and Sofia made everything easy. The agency delivered great service from start to finish, and everything met our expectations. I highly recommend this agency for trips in Peru, the Amazon, and Bolivia. And speaking of Bolivia—I truly encourage everyone to add it to their itinerary, as it’s a wonderful country worth exploring."

" My partner and I are from Singapore. We booked a private bespoke tour for two with Intense Peru to Peru and Bolivia in September 2025; we typically avoid tours during our travels but decided to do so for a region we were unfamiliar with. It was the best decision due to these reasons - safety, ease, and warmth.Tthese were places on our bucket lists for years. We couldn't have found a better tour agency to show us your homes. Thanks for the memories, Intense Peru."

Highly recommended!!!"

" Intense Peru made our family trip so so memorable. They anticipated and prepared for everything. All their tour guides, Sophia from Lima, food tour in Lima (Amy), tour guide in the Sacred Valley ( Margot) and tour guide in Puno (Broz) were exceptional and caring. This company knows how to take care of tourists. They helped my teenage kids and my 70 something Mom enjoy the trip. I am so thankful for having met them."

Peru is a large country and its geography is varied. The cold currents of the southern Pacific Ocean wash against its shores making it one of the richest oceanic life systems on the planet; its coast is part of the driest desert ecosystem on Earth; the Andes mountains, the world’s only Equatorial mountain range with glaciers, cuts right through the middle of the territory from north to south; and two-thirds of the country is covered by the Amazonian rainforest. How to see it all?
There are some well-established traditional tour routes in the country that are great for those travelers with little free time to explore beyond the beaten path. We at Intense Peru strive to make your experience exploring our wondrous country something more than that. Even if you do not have much time we will help you make your journey through Peru a wonderful and memorable one.
Depending on how much time you have available we recommend these routes to give you ideas on how to start planning your trip.

We suggest you keep two things in mind when planning your trip to Peru: climate and culture.
Climate
If you are coming from the northern hemisphere, seasons will be inverted. That is, if it is winter where you are, it will be summer in Peru. In addition to the time of year, your location in the country will also determine what kind of weather you will experience. Because of the varied geography of the country, its location near the Equator and the cold Pacific Ocean currents, temperatures and weather can markedly vary from one city to another.
Coast:
The coast tends to be mild year-round, only really having two distinct seasons: warm and cool. It is sunnier in summer (from mid-November to late-March) and can be overcast or even foggy in winter (from April to mid-November), depending on your proximity to the ocean. It almost never rains on the coast. A fine misty drizzle is the most precipitation you may experience. So, bring a swimsuit if you are coming in the summer, and a light jacket if you are coming in the winter.
Andes Mountains:
The mountains will vary in temperature and weather patterns according to the terrain, the latitude, and the altitude. The higher you go, the colder it is. Also, the higher you go, the “thinner” the atmosphere, as pressure drops, so when you stand in the sun you can feel really warm, or if you stand in the shade, you can feel really cold. The air tends to be really dry and heat from the sun travels easily through the atmosphere. It can get hot or cold just as easily. Because of the altitude, the seasons are inverted in the mountains. When it is summer on the coast, it is “winter” in the mountains, meaning, it is the rainy season. This is from mid-November to late March. It is also the warmer time of year in the mountains. From April to mid-November you get the dry and colder season in the mountains.
Bring a warm coat year-round. Layers are best as you can adjust your body temperature by peeling off items of clothing according to whether you feel warm or cold.
Amazon Rainforest:
The rainforest is hot and humid and is a rainy year-round, but it is especially rainy in the wet season (mid-November to late March). Bring a folding umbrella or lightweight breathable raincoat. Quick-drying fabrics and shoes are the best.
