Tour Operator
We are a Peruvian-owned travel agency with offices in the USA and Peru. Having an on-the-ground presence in Cusco gives us a vital edge: not only do we know this region like the back of our hand, but we’re able to keep abreast of any exciting goings-on. We know when traffic will come to a standstill due to local parades, and when and where to make a detour to experience one-of-a-kind cultural experiences. Put simply, we don’t miss a beat. An international frame-of-mind with Peruvian know-how – can it get any better?
We actively seek out the undiscovered, the hidden-away wonders, the little-known locales, and out-of-the-way attractions. In other words, we pursue that which has yet to make it into any guidebook. We are confident we can take your vacation to the next level by providing extraordinary experiences that fit your passion. Our focus is fixed on your individual requirements, interests, and wishes, so you can expect your itinerary to be of the mold-breaking – not cookie-cutter – variety.
