Lima and Around

Lima, the largest city in Peru, known as the city of Kings, became the most important city in the Spanish Viceroyalty. So rich in history and culture, so ethnically diverse it is one of the top culinary destinations in the world!

Give Lima a closer look on your next visit.

Cusco – Sacred Valley

The magestic capital of the Inca empire and gateway to the most popular adventure destination in the world, Machu Picchu, still stands tall with its Inca palaces, temples as well as several examples of colonial architecture and a beautiful valley still sacred today. A must visit!

Puno – Lake Titicaca – Bolivia

Believed to be the birth place of the Inca as a civilization, Puno and its surrounding are very rich in tradition. Uros and Taquile are floating islands that are still inhabited today and being recognized by Unesco in many different categories. Including Bolivia was a no brainer!

Amazon Rainforest

Recently named one of the "New Seven Wonders of the world", the Amazon rainforest is magical! The mother of all tropical rainforests.

From Iquitos, to Nauta and down Pacaya Samiria–adventure travel at its finest. All of this in a private tour through virgin floodlands.

Arequipa – Colca Canyon

Known as "Ciudad Blanca" or the White City, Arequipa sits in the Andes on the north end of a volcanic chain overlooking the Misti. Notable for its architecture, religious centers and hiking in the Colca Canyon, it attracts all types of tourists.

Tambopata – Rainforest

Puerto Maldonado and Tambopata has become one of the most visited areas in Peru. Due to its proximity to Cusco, accessibility and its bio-diversity, this is the perfect way to finish your Peruvian adventure after visiting Cusco.

Paracas – Nazca

Words cannot describe how amazing this area is. From Paracas National Park to Islas Ballestas and the Nazca lines. If you want to feel like you are in another planet, this is the trip you must choose. Of course it also includes Cusco and Machu Picchu.

Trujillo - Chan Chan

Trujillo and its eternal spring is another less traveled destination. Laying on the north coast of Peru, this area was a huge financial and trading hub in pre-Inca times. Its adobe pyramids and temples still stand due to lack of rainfall. Itineraries coming soon for 2013!

Tumbes – Mancora

Tumbes is the northern most point in Peru. A tropical destination for those in need of rest after hiking, going to Machu Picchu and dealing with altitude. Its beaches are beautiful and its people, graceful and friendly. It is becoming more popular every year. Itinerary coming soon for 2013!

Ica – Oasis – Sandboarding

Ica is a city roughly 300 kilometers south of Lima. Its surrounded by some of the tallest sand dunes in the world. It has a natural Oasis and its frequented by people mostly on their way to the Nazca lines. Itineraries coming soon for 2013!

Surfing the South

Surfing is a huge part of Peruvian culture and the coastline just south of the capital is famous for its powerful pointbreaks, beach lifestyle and the nightlife that comes with it. I have the best accomodations possible, right in front of world class surfing. Itinerary coming soon for 2013!

Intifest Cultural Festival

Intifest happens every year in February near the ever so popular Asia beach, some 105 km from Lima. A festival known more for its world class music programming and respect for the land, it is proving to be a very special event. Itinerary coming soon for February 2013!

THE ULTIMATE TRAVELING EXPERIENCE

First, a little about myself and the purpose of this mission...

I am a native of Peru, the land of the Incas, where I have traveled extensively for the past 20 years. My first trip to Cusco and Machu Picchu was in 1989 when I was only 16 years old and I was amazed at how this ancient civilization was capable of building such massive structures with such precision, skill and attention to detail. I became instantly obsessed.

I have been equally, if not more impressed by recent discoveries all throughout Peru of civilizations dating back to 3,000 B.C. Obscure Pre-Inca cultures like the Chavin and Nazca, not far from Lima, to the Moche, Wari and Chimu all present very diverse techniques in architecture as well as weaponry, pottery and textiles, some of which can be found in many of Peru's museums, especially in Lima. These and dozens of other pre-inca civilizations were all instrumental in the development of one of history's most enigmatic and powerful empires.

I have been preparing travel packages to these areas for myself and others for many years, so the routes and itineraries I present, are very familiar to me.

All trips include absolutely everything except for alcoholic drinks. Please see Itineraries.
