About us
Peru, done right
Peru has a desert coast, the high Andes and the Amazon. It also has altitude, permits that sell out and distances that surprise people. We plan private, well-paced journeys that get all of that right.
Discover Peru Travel began with a simple idea: most Peru trips go wrong in the same few ways. People fly straight into Cusco and spend two days feeling awful. They find out Inca Trail permits sold out months ago. They lose a whole day to a bus that a one-hour flight would have replaced.
So we plan the other way round: altitude first, permits early, travel times honest. Then we fill the days with the things that make Peru unforgettable: the food, the people, the trails and the views.
We know the altitude
Every itinerary is built night by night around how high you sleep.
We know the permits
Machu Picchu slots and Inca Trail permits secured the moment you confirm.
We know the distances
Short flights where roads are long, trains where they're beautiful.
We're here while you travel
A local team on call, in your time zone and ours.
Why travel with us
Your own Peru Specialist
One person plans your trip from first call to flight home. They know which nights to spend lower down, which train to catch, when Inca Trail permits open and where to eat in every town.
Pace
We plan around altitude, distance and permits so the trip feels easy. Sleep lower first, climb in steps, book Machu Picchu and the Inca Trail early, and never spend a whole day in transit when a short flight will do.
Ayni
In the Andes, ayni means reciprocity: what you receive, you give back. Weaving cooperatives and community homestays are paid fairly and directly, and our trek teams' porters are paid, equipped and loaded properly.
