Peruvian Adrenaline Rush

Whether it’s climbing ice, rock, or mountains, surfing point breaks, mountain biking, sandboarding, trekking, kayaking, or rafting, Peru has the adventure travel experience you’re looking for.

From the snowcapped Cordillera Blanca and the sand dunes in the Ica Desert to the brilliant green waters of Lake Titicaca and the rivers of the Amazon, Peru has something for every adrenaline junkie.

Parapent off the rim of the Sacred Valley with Wayra [2], an outfitter near Urubamba.
