We are a tour operator based in Cusco, founded in 2009. We plan and run our own treks and tours in southern Peru, so you deal directly with the team that organizes your trip, from the first email to the last day. These are the reasons travelers choose us, and what is behind each one.
A local operator, without intermediaries
Our office is at Calle Garcilaso 265, Office 05, in the center of Cusco. Because we organize the tours ourselves, we can adapt an itinerary to your dates, pace and interests, or plan a tailor-made trip for your group. We pick you up at your hotel in Cusco, and multi-day tours include airport transfers.
Official guides from the region
Our guides are official tour guides from the Cusco region, trained in first aid and rescue. Some specialize in archaeology, history, bird-watching or flora and fauna, and all of them explain the history and customs of the places you visit. Tours are in English and Spanish; other languages can be arranged on request. Meet them on our who we are page.
Small groups
Groups have no more than 12 travelers on the Classic Inca Trail, the Short Inca Trail with hotel and the Inca Jungle Trek, and no more than 8 on our other Inca Trail tours. The guide can look after everyone, and the group keeps a pace that suits it. If you prefer to travel only with your own group, the Classic Inca Trail is also run as a private trek for 2 to 12 travelers.
Safety on every trek
Our guides carry oxygen and a first-aid kit on all treks and high-altitude tours. On remote multi-day treks such as Choquequirao, Lares and Ausangate we also carry a satellite phone. Before a high trek, plan a couple of days in Cusco to acclimatize: read our guide to altitude sickness in Cusco.
Our own camping equipment and cooks
On camping treks we bring mountain tents shared by two people, sleeping mats, a dining tent with tables and chairs, and a kitchen tent, and our cooks prepare fresh meals on the trail. Vegetarian meals are available at no extra cost, and vegan or gluten-free meals with advance notice. See our trekking and camping equipment.
Fair work for our team
Our porters carry no more than 20 kg each, with full equipment, fair pay and insurance. We work with guides, cooks, porters and horsemen from the Cusco region and buy from local suppliers. Read about our socially conscious travel and our environmental practices.
