Some trips are about one passion. Multi-sport adventures are about many. With Amazonas Explorer, every day brings a new way to experience Peru: one moment you’re paddling white-water rapids, the next you’re cycling through the Sacred Valley, and soon after, hiking ancient Inca trails toward Machu Picchu. Each activity offers its own rhythm and reward, combining into a journey that is as diverse as the landscapes themselves.
What makes these trips unique is their balance. The challenge of a mountain pass is matched by the joy of a river descent. Cultural encounters blend with natural wonders, creating experiences that are as rich in meaning as they are in adrenaline. You don’t have to be an expert in every activity—our guides adapt to different levels and provide all the support you need to try something new with confidence.
Perfect for curious travelers, active families, or groups who want to maximize their time, multi-sport adventures pack Peru’s highlights into one unforgettable itinerary. They’re not just about ticking off activities—they’re about discovering how the Andes can surprise you, day after day, in more ways than one.
All the excursions that Amazonas organized were very good. We enjoyed the Kayaking despite the weather not being great that day. It was incredibly well organized and the guide who did that with us was fantastic. they cooked an excellent lunch cooked by the lake which was great. The salt mine was well worth a visit and was fascinating. All the hikes were a great success particularly the one ending up in Ollantaytambo at an amazing organic farm/distillery/restaurant called El Albergue where we had a traditionally cooked meal, a Pachamanca. It was a spectacular day, possibly our best.
The hike to the Sun Gate was a great success though we found it quite tough despite the fact that we are reasonably fit and had done several hikes at altitude in the preceding days. It was a great way to see the ruins but we were absolutely shattered at the end. Our guide was excellent both at explaining the local flora and fauna but also pacing us and coaching us when we were getting tired. It took us 5 hours. There were very few people on it until we got very close to Machu Picchu and we were really glad we had done it. It was a good recommendation.

The activities were all great. Bicycling, rafting, horseback riding, hiking, visiting the girls’ school, jungle. In my opinion, the trip guides and facts were amazing. But the trip tour guide Cristo was my personal favorite and our driver was also amazing.

How do we begin to thank you for the truly amazing experience you planned for us? With three weeks in Peru and only the barest outline of where we wanted to go and what we like to do, you filled in the blanks and gave us the trip of a lifetime! Each day was a new adventure full of wonderful sights, people, and experiences. The places we stayed were wonderful and the food in Peru was fabulous, but it was your people who put the trip over the top. The execution of the plan was flawless – everyone was prompt, knowledgeable, friendly, and fun to be with. They took great care of us and eliminated all the usual stress of travel. You planned for us the perfect balance of “guided” time and independence; the hiking and biking days were perfectly suited to our age, ability, and altitude. We’re telling everyone we know to visit Peru and plan their trip with Amazonas!
