working in tourism (established in 1996). From our
own experience, we understand what the main points
of interest are and what one needs to feel safe
and calm away from home. Apart from showing you
our country’s natural and architectural wonders
we also want to show you the vitality of our culture
and its heritage, so full of mystery and tradition.

| ABOUT OUR TRIPS |
Peru
is one of the most diverse countries to visit and
offers something to cater to everyone’s tastes.
At CULTURAS PERU we aim to provide you with the
very best of Peru. For this reason, we offer a wide
variety of programs, from adventure hikes to culture
and ecology tours. Of course we also organize trips
catered to the individual’s personal rhythm
and style.
It is very important for us that each visitor has
enough space and time to enjoy this unique experience
completely. Therefore we work with small groups
and offer personalized attention. We don’t
want you just to observe but also to participate,
getting to know our culture and traditions. We can’t
promise eternal sunshine on your trip or the sight
of condors, jaguars or other wild animals. We promise,
though, to make your stay an unforgettable experience,
through our professionalism and dedication.
We have a professional team of co-workers with years
of experience, dedicated to offering the service
and attention you deserve: bilingual guides will
teach you the wonders of our history and culture,
creative cooks will surprise you with their magical
ability to providing delicious meals in the remotest
campsites, wranglers with their mules and porters
will take care of our equipment and organize the
most comfortable campsites, not forgetting our office
staff who takes care of all the logistics, assuring
that everything goes according to plan.
All our personnel is trained in their specific area:
first aid, cooking (new recipes) and hygiene (camp
sites which respect the ecology of the place) and
our equipment (tents, cars, etc.) is constantly
maintained and renewed for your comfort and safety.
On our hikes and expeditions we provide the best
camping equipment (spacious EUREKA double and comfortable
dining tents), all our gear is transported on mules
and we have saddle horses as support for those who
would rather ride.
Our main objectives are: Preserving the attractions
that we include in our programs, the fair and decent
treatment of each one of our Culturas Peru Co-Workers
(Porters, Wranglers, Cooks and Guides) and of course
the security, comfort and satisfaction of our clients.
Let us prove to you our professionalism and the
quality of our service! |
