Traveling with Brews Cruise means experiencing a destination through a different lens—one that connects culture, history, and place through the things people make, share, and celebrate. Our Insiders Experiences are intentionally small, thoughtfully paced, and designed to go beyond the standard itinerary. In Peru, that means pairing iconic moments like Machu Picchu with the deeper, often overlooked stories found in kitchens, markets, and local gathering places. It’s not about adding activities—it’s about adding meaning to the ones that matter.
What truly sets this journey apart is the local expertise behind it. Working with TourGuidePeru ensures that this experience is built and delivered by someone who knows the country intimately—not just the highlights, but the nuances that bring it to life. Aaron and his team have been guiding travelers through Peru for years, creating experiences that are both seamless and deeply personal. Their relationships on the ground open doors that typical tours simply don’t have access to.
Together, this partnership creates something that neither could do alone. Brews Cruise brings the vision, the community, and the style of travel our guests expect, while TourGuidePeru provides the local knowledge and execution that make it real. The result is a journey that feels both curated and authentic—where you’re not just seeing Peru, but genuinely experiencing it alongside the people who call it home.
This journey is hosted by Don Littlefield, president of Brews Cruise, who has spent nearly two decades introducing travelers to the culture behind craft beer around the world.
In Peru, we partner with Aaron Paiva Leyton of TourGuidePeru. His deep local knowledge and great personality help transform this itinerary from a sightseeing trip into a truly personal experience.
Peru is a destination that most travelers experience from the surface—checking off Machu Picchu and moving on. This journey is designed to go deeper. From the coastal energy of Lima to the historic streets of Cusco and the breathtaking landscapes of the Sacred Valley, this is a thoughtfully paced experience that connects you to the people, traditions, and flavors that define the country.
Along the way, we’ll explore Peru through its food and drink culture—an essential lens for understanding daily life here. You’ll step into kitchens, share meals rooted in generations of tradition, and experience the ingredients and techniques that shape Peruvian cuisine. From coastal dishes in Lima to high-altitude cooking in the Andes, each stop adds another layer to the story.
Of course, we’ll stand together at Machu Picchu, one of the most iconic places in the world—but it won’t be the only highlight. This trip is about the full journey: the moments in between, the conversations, and the experiences you wouldn’t find on your own.
If you’re the kind of traveler who values depth, connection, and a sense of discovery, this is the kind of Peru you’ve been looking for.

This journey is designed for travelers who value depth over speed—those who would rather truly experience a place than simply pass through it. It’s for people who appreciate the rhythm of a small group, where conversations flow easily, experiences feel personal, and there’s space to connect with both the destination and the people alongside you.
It’s especially well suited for those who are drawn to culture through taste and storytelling. If you find joy in sitting down with a local producer, lingering over a well-crafted drink, or hearing the history of a place directly from the people who live it, you’ll feel right at home here. This isn’t about staged moments—it’s about authentic ones that unfold naturally.
Above all, this trip is for curious, open-minded travelers who enjoy the journey as much as the destination. If you’re comfortable with a thoughtfully paced itinerary, a bit of flexibility, and the idea that some of the best moments aren’t scripted, this experience will resonate in all the right ways.
Flavors of Peru: From Lima to Machu Picchu is designed as a small-group experience, which means space is intentionally limited to a maximum of 18 guests.
