Running & Fastpacking Holidays in Peru

Where adventure meets ancient heritage

Run the Andes is more than a running getaway — it’s a bespoke fusion of trail running, culture, and exploration through Peru’s most sacred landscapes.

Set among the dramatic peaks and valleys of the Inca heartland, our routes follow quiet mountain trails, ancient pathways, and traditional communities rarely seen by visitors. Every step offers a deeper connection to Peru’s beauty, heritage, and spirit.

Guided by experienced local professionals, each experience combines inspiring runs with meaningful cultural discovery.

Designed entirely around you, our private and custom adventures suit every runner — from casual enthusiasts to seasoned ultrarunners. Whether you have one day or one week, we create the perfect balance of challenge, scenery, and immersion.

We take care of every detail, including routes, guiding, excursions, meals, and accommodation, so you can simply run, explore, and connect.

For coaches, tour operators, or private groups, we can also create tailored itineraries with full on-the-ground support and local expertise.
