For a country bursting with archaeological, cultural and culinary riches, you'd be surprised how affordable tours in Peru can be. City walking tours, lake boat tours, island explorations and Andean adventures are all found on cheap guided tours in Peru.

Budget Holidays in Peru

Many of the best Peru tour packages are competitively priced. Budget travellers can make the most of this Andean country's scenery. The Colca Valley, where the condor circles high in the sky, is home to hot springs and the pre-Incan agricultural terraces of Chivay. Bus tours across the Altiplano of the Andes travel through a Tibet-like plateau. Get off at Arequipa, Peru's White City, which sits in the shadow of three volcanoes. Marvel at the baroque colonial architecture made from volcanic white stone.

Low-Cost Peru Tours

Interested in cheap archaeological tours? Try the extensive Pachacamac ruins, where the Creator God was worshipped from 700 AD, or the Nazca Lines, massive etchings made in the desert soil by pre-Incan people. For a truly different historical tour, head to Chauchilla Cemetery, an ancient necropolis that featured in Indiana Jones, where you can see pre-Incan mummies up close. Touring the Incan capital is also affordable. Walking tours in Cusco embrace this ancient city's heritage with stops at the 15th-century Sacsayhuaman Fortress. Then immerse yourself in contemporary Peru by way of a Pisco sour at one of the many lively bars in town.
