Why Peru Captivates Women Over 50
Peru combines world-famous highlights with a strong sense of living culture. Lima brings one of the most exciting food scenes in South America, from ceviche to tasting menus, while Cusco and the Sacred Valley add Inca history, markets, and mountain scenery. Machu Picchu is the headline, but the full experience is what stays with many women: the textiles, the stories, the food, and the feeling of being somewhere truly distinct.
For women over 50, Peru is most enjoyable when the itinerary respects altitude and gives you time to adjust. That kind of pacing matters, and it is one reason group travel works so well here. You can focus on the beauty of the Sacred Valley, a local market, or a memorable lunch without having to manage every practical detail yourself.
Peru also creates a strong group bond because the experiences are so shared and so memorable. Watching the landscape open up around you, talking over dinner after a day of exploration, and taking in Machu Picchu together often creates friendships that feel genuine and lasting. Solo travel is completely normal here, and many women say that makes the trip even more meaningful.
What Women Say About Our Peru Tours

"I have been on 4 WTT trips and signed up for another one. Extremely organized, the guide and drivers treat you like a queen, and a lot of fun!!"
Andrea J.
Ecuador and Galapagos
"This trip was better than my expectations, and they were high! Our guides, Dara, Gustavo and Giovanni did a great job. The hotel in Quito was beautiful. I can’t say enough about the yacht and the wonderful crew. Lots of laughter and fun with my fellow travelers too! I would book another tour without question."
Dolores H.
Oaxaca, Mexico
"As always, the planned activities were well thought out and executed. I learned so much about the history and culture of the Zapotecs. The hands on activities were such fun, the people and the women in the group were lovely. The hotel was very nice and the people there were welcoming and helpful. I've been to Abruzzo and Oaxaca and both trips were fabulous. I have recommended this group to many of my friends and will continue to do so. I look forward to whatever trip I take next. PS Luna and David were great!"
Lynn S. G.
Oaxaca, Mexico
"I felt immediately welcomed and taken care of. David was waiting at the airport with a sign and Luna greeted me at the hotel door. I loved the entire trip. The women on this trip were great. We all melded together like a sisterhood reunion even though we all met for the first time."
Elisa B. M.
Iceland
"Very organized and exciting with Liz as our tour leader. It was my first organized tour and first time with the Women Travel Tribe. Getting to know the other travelers added to the experience. Liz took care of us and was genuinely interested in our safety and enjoyment of each activity. I would be lying if I named one favorite moment. Every site was more spectacular than the next. The Katla Ice Cave tour was certainly a moment I did not expect. It was both scary and exhilarating."
Lisa G.
Iceland
"My first group tour so I didn’t know what to expect. FAR exceeded all my expectations. Liz is phenomenal and cannot praise her enough for her ability to work with local guides to keep the trip amazing when frankly, the weather was lousy."
