Group Excursions

Our group itineraries are all custom-designed, in accordance with the specific requirements of our clients, and constitute the majority of all our business. Emerald Forest Tours operates general natural history and cultural tours as well as special interest itineraries for activities such as birding, botany, photography and folklore. We also develop educational tours for adults and students, with topics relating to outstanding performance in the areas of human rights, education, conservation, peace studies and different fields of agriculture. Group trips are accompanied by one of our professional naturalist guides.

Individual travelers
For those who want to see Peru on their own, our staff designs custom itineraries for individual travelers.

Emerald Forest Tours works with a number of local ground operators whose tours are noted for their excellence and arranges rental cars for more adventurous clients. We also offer our own pre-designed soft adventure packages. All itineraries are designed to suit the visitor’s interests, budget and physical condition. Private tours with a naturalist guide can also be arranged.

Peru….The Most Natural Place in the World, Peru is a convenient location for international meetings, seminars and incentive trips.
