WHO WE ARE

Tripadvisor Travelers' Choice Awards 2025

Local knowledge, shaped around you

A Cusco-based team creating private journeys with the confidence of people who know the routes, communities and practical details firsthand.

Peru Summit Adventures is a locally owned boutique travel company and tour operator based in Cusco. Our team combines deep knowledge of Peru with direct, personal planning for private journeys, small-group adventures and treks through the Andes.

For us, luxury is not excess. It is the freedom to travel at the right pace, stay somewhere with character, understand the places you visit and know that the practical details are being handled by people on the ground.

A family company born from the trail

The company began with a simple conviction: travelers deserve personal care, and the people delivering each journey deserve respect.

Carlos grew up in the Peruvian highlands surrounded by Quechua language, Andean customs and the mountains that would later become his workplace. Years spent guiding and exploring the Cusco region shaped a clear idea of how travelers and field teams should be treated.

Together with Saida, he founded Peru Summit Adventures as a local family enterprise: a company close enough to each journey to listen carefully, adapt quickly and keep the experience personal from the first conversation to the final day.

“We don’t make tours. We make experiences.”

The people behind every journey

A strong itinerary depends on people who understand the destination, anticipate details and remain present throughout the experience.

Travel that gives something back

Responsible travel is part of operations, not a separate promise. It begins with where the money goes, how crews are treated and how carefully each route is managed.

Local economy

A locally owned operation keeps more travel spending connected to Peruvian people, services and communities.

Crew welfare

The safety, equipment, working conditions and fair treatment of field teams remain a daily priority.

Natural places

Smaller groups, careful logistics and support for clean-up and restoration help reduce pressure on fragile landscapes.
