From the founder

Make the most of your time in Peru.

Tell us how much time you have and what you’d love to see. We’ll help you decide where to spend your days, when to visit the busiest places and what’s worth adding along the way. With more time, we can introduce you to more of the country. With a shorter trip, we’ll recommend the route that makes the most of it. That’s where knowing Peru well makes a difference.

How it works

How we plan your trip.

  1. Tell us what you have in mind.

    Share your dates, who’s traveling and what you’d love to do. You don’t need a finished plan. We’ll help you work out the details, and we reply within 24 hours.

  2. Review your itinerary.

    We’ll send a proposed route, hotels, experiences and a clear price. Then we’ll work through it with you and make the changes that matter.

  3. Confirm your trip.

    Once you’re happy with the plan, we’ll confirm availability and explain the deposit, payment dates and booking terms before you proceed.

  4. Travel with our team looking after you.

    We’ll take care of your arrival and the arrangements in your itinerary. While you’re in Peru, our local team is on call 24/7 whenever you need help.

What happens next

A member of our team will get in touch within 24 hours to discuss your trip and the next steps. Sending an inquiry does not make a booking or require a payment.

Where you will stay

Places we love to stay.

We recommend hotels for their character, location and the experience they offer. Inkaterra is a favorite in the Sacred Valley, Machu Picchu and Cusco. We’ll also talk through Belmond, JW Marriott and other options that suit your trip. Hotels and room categories are confirmed in your proposal, subject to availability.
