Peru: Women's Expedition
< View Other Tours
Tour Overview
Join a women-only adventure through the valleys and off-the-beaten-track villages of Peru and gain insight into the lives of Peruvian women. Start this eight-day trip in Cusco, the former centre of the Inca Empire. Meet female entrepreneurs at a local market and during hands-on mixology and bracelet-making workshops. Savour authentic Andean flavours at a female-owned restaurant and take a chocolate-making class at a social enterprise empowering vulnerable local women through employment. Hike the less-trodden Chinchero to Urquillos trail and visit the ruins of Sacsayhuaman and Pumamarca with the support of a crew of female porters. Celebrate your Inca adventure at a chicheria (bar) in Ollantaytambo, then end your journey with a bang at Machu Picchu, all with a group of women and a female leader by your side.

Trip Highlights
Why you'll love this trip
- •
Hike the lesser-known Chinchero to Urquillos route on an old Inca road – away from more popular tourist routes, you can soak up the sight of the Poc Poc waterfall. Then, hike to the Pumamarca ruins, supported by an all-female crew of porters.
- •
Experience an Andean healing ceremony performed by a female shaman. You’ll be guided through rituals that have been handed down between Andean healers over centuries, said to cleanse the spirit and give thanks to the Pachamama.
- •
Indulge your sweet tooth during a hands-on chocolate-making workshop at a social enterprise that trains and employs vulnerable local women. Turn cocoa beans into your own moreish delights as your workshop leader shares her inspiring story of resilience and hardship.
- •
Tick a visit to Machu Picchu, one of the New Seven Wonders of the World, off your bucket list. Take a guided tour of the archaeological ruins, then explore the nearby town of Aguas Calientes at your own pace.
- •
Dine on bold, authentic Andean flavours at Nuna Raymi – an award-winning, female-owned restaurant that works closely with organic, family-run farms in Cusco.
