Why travel with us? with Peru Travel

Our Beginnings

In 2007, Inka Trail Expeditions Peru, a South American tour operator, was founded with the firm desire to create an authentic Peruvian agency. The rich diversity of traditions, adventures and mysteries makes Peru a fascinating country to visit.

At Inka Trail Expeditions Peru, we offer something for everyone and more than what you are looking for. We invite you to discover exuberant landscapes through a sustainable tourism experience unique in the world. We provide an adventure alternative compared to traditional cruises and bus tours. Our goal is not only to change the way people look for adventure vacations, but also to show that traveling through Peru is an unforgettable experience that leaves a lasting mark on your life. Through our social projects, such as the INKA Foundation, we are full of energy and natural adventure. These projects are deeply rooted in our core values, inspiring our business and defining us today.

Our team

We have a team of experienced travel professionals at our headquarters in Seattle, and we maintain long-standing contractual relationships with our logistics specialists in Peru, who collaborate in the development and coordination of our tours. All of them have traveled extensively or have lived and worked in our destination countries, sharing a common business philosophy and an ethical commitment to the environment.

Group Size

At our travel agency, we limit our group sizes to a maximum of twelve travelers, with an absolute limit of sixteen. This policy offers several important benefits. Firstly, it minimizes our environmental impact, allowing us to visit less crowded areas and reduce our ecological footprint. Additionally, it creates a more personalized tourist experience, as our guides have enough time to attend to the individual needs of each visitor. Traveling in small groups also increases the likelihood of wildlife encounters, especially in regions like the Amazon.

Itineraries

We thoroughly research each destination before including it on our trips. Thanks to our trained staff, we have established strong business relationships in all the areas we visit, allowing us to create unique itineraries with ecological and cultural importance for our travelers, guaranteeing their maximum safety and protection. We complement our planned trips with a wide range of optional excursions, ranging from a few hours to several days, allowing our passengers to delve deeper into their travel interests.

Accommodations

At INKA TRAIL EXPEDITIONS PERU, we carry out personal inspections of the rooms and facilities of all potential hotels and accommodations in each tourist destination. We carefully select those that meet our rigorous standards in terms of cleanliness, comfort, location, safety, customer service and atmosphere. Additionally, we support hotels that implement sustainable practices and are locally owned and operated.

Guides of INKA TRAIL EXPEDITIONS PERU

We hire guides who are native to the region, licensed and certified in accordance with Peruvian government regulations. They are all bilingual, speaking fluent Spanish and English, and some are even fluent in local indigenous languages. In addition to their regional experience, our guides have medical training, and some have received additional training for mountain and desert environments. We prioritize the safety of our travelers, which is why our guides maintain constant communication with external assistance services available 24 hours a day in most of the places we visit. Our team of guides is made up of knowledgeable and friendly individuals, whose valuable insights into the true nature of their homelands greatly enrich the travel experience.

Local Travel Services and Regional Guides

To offer passengers the most authentic experience possible, we contract with local travel services in the countries we visit. The main objective of this policy is to employ regional guides instead of assigning the same guide or a Western tour leader to accompany passengers throughout the trip. This ensures that our passengers are always in the hands of expert guides who know their destinations intimately.

INKA TRAIL EXPEDITIONS PERU is proud to hold ISO 14001 sustainability certification and ISO 9001 quality certification, reflecting our commitment to excellence and preservation of the natural environment while offering memorable experiences to our travelers.
