What to expect on your

next trip with Us

We believe that our style of travel is particularly well-suited to these unusual times as we always encourage our guests to visit uncrowded places and for those must-see attractions like Machu Picchu, we have always encouraged visiting in off-peak hours. We understand that the decision to travel is a personal one and we would like to reassure you that we are being very methodical about minimizing the risk of infection during one of our trips. Below you will find more information about how a typical trip to Peru will run in hope that this information will help you and your travelers make an informed decision when you´re ready to travel and visit us again in Peru.
