We recognize that the tastes and travel preferences of boomers, seniors and retirees are as varied as Peru itself. For more than 30 years, Fertur Peru<\/strong> has been designing thoughtfully paced, comfortable Peru tours for seniors<\/strong>, combining practical planning with memorable experiences throughout the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What\u2019s New for 2026<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Health and safety planning remains a priority, especially when it comes to altitude, hygiene standards, private transfers, and choosing the right pace for each traveler.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We offer lots of flexibility, including additional private and small-group departure options, plus more ways to slow the itinerary down with extra rest days in Cusco and the Sacred Valley.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All of the sample itineraries below can be adapted for mobility needs, altitude concerns, dietary restrictions, and specific medical considerations, so the trip fits the traveler rather than the other way around.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

This is how some of our older adult clients describe themselves:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are 70 years old and in good health. We do have concerns about altitude and hiking with a bunch of young adventurers.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are experienced travelers (about 70 countries visited) 55+ but fit.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Establishing reliable expectations and making sure you are appropriately prepared is what we do. Our tours are set at a comfortable pace, and, of course, are unforgettable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Several of our cultural tour packages are especially well suited to seniors over 50<\/strong>. Here are some examples of our most popular programs:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Peru Cultural 14 Days<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This could accurately be described as the “best hits” tour of Peru. You start in the cosmopolitan capital of Lima, learning about the colonial and modern history of the city. You travel then to the seaside nature reserve of Paracas and the enigmatic Nazca Lines<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Nazca<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

From there, the tour continues to Arequipa, another of Peru’s great cities, with a day trip to the nearby Colca Canyon, where you can see condors soaring through the mountain air.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The next stop is Cusco, then the sacred citadel of Machu Picchu \u2014 a wonder of the world you won’t soon forget. Finally, you’ll spend a couple of days in Puno on the shores of the tremendous Lake Titicaca before flying back to Lima for your flight home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
