Who
we are

Peruvian Soul is a young team driven by one idea: curiosity.

The way the world lights up at dawn. The first rays unveiling ancient ruins. A heartfelt conversation. Laughing with someone who is no longer a stranger. Something stirs in us. We call it curiosity, a deeply human ability, one worth practicing, for it awakens the best in us. Let it lead the way. Curiosity looks good on you.

Travel should never be just about watching, but about seeing further. It’s about enjoying the path, not just reaching a destination. Traveling is about connecting with nature, with people, with beauty, with the unexpected, and most of all, with yourself.

We believe the soul of a land is the unique blend of how its people live, what they remember, what they love, what they call magic, and how they tell their story.

We know this because we’ve felt it ourselves. Before we shared it with others, we experienced Peru as travelers, listening to the voices that reveal why this place was, and still is, magical. The soul of this land is our inspiration. That is why every journey we design is rooted in its people and their stories. Come and connect with that story.

Take your soul to new places.

What to expect

Every trip gives back

Every trip we run helps fund our social and environmental projects in Peru, from support for children with disabilities through the Paqari program to reforestation in the high Andes. Traveling with us gives back to the people and places that make it possible.

No templates, ever

We start from a blank page, send a first proposal within 24 to 72 hours, and refine it as many times as it takes until the trip is truly yours, not just approved.

Doors only locals can open

Our team has traveled everything we offer, and we've built real relationships with the guides, cooks, and hosts who bring each place to life. That's how we open doors to a Peru you wouldn't find on your own.

We love unusual requests

Rowing a canoe the 1,000 kilometers around Lake Titicaca. Reimagining Southern Peru for travelers who experience it through senses other than sight. The unusual requests are the ones we love most, the ones no one has asked for yet.

With you the whole way

From the first email to the farewell, you have one dedicated contact reachable by WhatsApp and real support on the ground at every step. It's why so many travelers tell us they arrived as tourists and left as friends.

Book without the worry

Reserve your trip with a 20% deposit, and the balance is due 30 days before departure. Simple, flexible booking, so you can plan with peace of mind.

How we work

1

It starts with you

Start with more than dates and destinations. Tell us what moves you, what you're curious about, how you like to travel. The better we understand you, the more precisely, and more surprisingly, we can design your trip.

2

Get inspired

Once we know who you are, we come back with ideas, including places and experiences you won't find on a standard itinerary. Usually over a video call, so we can talk it through and shape what feels right.

3

Ready to book

You'll get a first proposal, and we refine it as many rounds as you need until it's exactly right. A 20% deposit confirms your trip, with the balance due 30 days before you travel.

Welcome to Peru

Before you fly, a pre-departure pack gets you ready. From the moment you land, everything is handled: hotels, transfers, guides, permits, the details you'd never think of, with one contact reachable throughout. All you do is travel.

5

Travel back home

You'll leave with more than photos. When a trip is built this closely around people, the connections stay with you long after the trip ends. And the door stays open for the next one, whenever you're ready to return.

Our story

Back in 2009, we were already avid travelers, hooked on Peru’s landscapes, its ancient civilizations, its wildlife, and the many cultures of the people who live here. The idea for Peruvian Soul came on a little-known stretch of old Inca road in Nor Yauyos Cochas, high in the Andes of Lima. The joy, the connection, the warmth we felt on that trip settled it: if we were going to share Peru with others, we had to share the way we see it, our Peruvian Soul.

Not long after, we left our office jobs to build it, and we haven’t stopped since. For 17 years we’ve traveled every corner of the country, connecting, sharing, and learning, building lasting relationships with the guides, farmers, shepherds, biologists, and archaeologists who share our passion. Curiosity led us to open new routes and find new ways into familiar places, but our purpose has never changed: to show travelers the soul of Peru.

The people behind
your trip

Travel is personal, and so are we.

Behind every trip is a team of local experts, planners, and guides who know Peru from lived experience, seasoned professionals and restless travelers in equal measure. We work closely, and love what we do, to design trips that feel real and deeply connected to the places and people you meet along the way.
