Message from Founders

Welcome to Cusco: A Personal Letter from Our Founder

When you travel with us, you are not just a booking number—you are an honored guest in our Andean home.

When we founded Machu Picchu Peru Travel in 2010, we shared a simple but ambitious vision: traveling through Peru should never feel like just another package tour. It should feel like being welcomed by local friends—people who genuinely care about your journey, look after every detail, and proudly share the culture, history, and traditions of our home.

Over the years, that vision has grown into a dedicated family of certified local guides, experienced cooks, skilled drivers, attentive travel planners, and operations specialists based here in Cusco. Together, we carefully coordinate each journey—from train tickets and Machu Picchu entrances to high-altitude treks, private transfers, and personalized travel experiences.

As a locally founded and operated company, we believe that the best journeys are built on trust, genuine hospitality, responsible travel, and a deep connection with the places and people you come to discover.

Whether Machu Picchu is a once-in-a-lifetime dream, you are trekking through the Andes, exploring the Sacred Valley, or discovering more of Peru, our commitment remains the same: to make you feel safe, welcomed, supported, and connected to our country every step of the way.

Welcome to Peru. Welcome to our home.
