For me, traveling is about much more than just visiting places. It’s about opening new paths in your life—through the people you meet, the flavors you try, and the landscapes that take your breath away, even if it’s just once in a lifetime. Peru is my home, and it’s a place full of these moments. I would love to help you discover its beauty in a way that feels personal and real to you.

What places and activities do you specialize in?

"Experiences around Peru. I mainly specialize in cultural activities and wildlife and nature activities, adding in one of them unique experiences along the way. "

How did you get involved in travel?

"When I was a child, I could spend hours watching travel and gastronomy programs about my country and around the world. I realized sharing with others the passion for travel was so contagious and magical. I dreamed of having a program like this for years! Later, as a teenager, I decided to study tourism professionally. I learned tourism could also transform lives into better ones in the social, cultural, and environmental aspects, and also was a fantastic way where everyone could create impactful connections and have fun! Then, I joined Peruvian Soul, where I felt the passion and authenticity in everything, wanting their travelers to live the best journey in Peru! "

Please share a unique travel experience you will never forget.

"In 2023, I had the opportunity to visit Tambopata Research center, an authentic place for those wishing to explore the jungle at its best! I stayed in a nice lodge and had the chance to learn more about its wildlife and conservation projects, hear the sounds of monkeys and different species of birds each morning and walk around its forest. I felt so much peace there. It was a unique and beautiful experience! "

We stopped here for lunch and our expectations were high after having marvelous meals on our previous tours. The waiter told us that we would be served the special of the day. It turned out to be a chicken quarter of breast and wing on the bone. It was not cooked through and impossible to get the meat off the bone. The potatoes tasted like flour and the vegetable was a pepper. A dish of beans and corn were also on the table to be shared but the skins on them were tough and hard to peel. All in all it was an unappealing meal and impossible to eat.

Jimena and team put together an amazing adventure in Peru for our family. We have used KimKim before and found it quite easy to use; this time was no different. We were able to give insight into some of the things our family enjoys and from there an itinerary was created which we refined to meet our families specific interests and requests. We even made some last minute adjustments that were graciously accommodated.
To add more detail, we are a family of 5 with two adult children and one younger child. We had asked to see Machu Picchu as well as the Amazon rainforest and Jimena delivered an amazing trip plan. Every detail seemed well planned. Each transfer (and there were many) was seamless and our guides brought us to the airport or train station and ensured we were all set. On the other end of each transport, someone was there to receive us. We always felt safe and taken care of. Our guides from Peruvian Soul were all lovely and informative. They made sure we were comfortable and all our needs were met. We also had a separate driver so the tour guide was able to focus just on sharing stories and information with us. The places we stayed were all beautiful and great for our family. People there were friendly and accommodating.
I could go on and on about all the details, but suffice it to say that this trip was packed with activities and internal travel to multiple different locations, which would have been extremely difficult for us to plan on our own. Kim Kim and Peruvian soul made sure all of these details were perfect.

Our trip to Peru was fabulous! Jimena did a wonderful job of planning activities that would be appropriate for both myself (age 65) and my son (age 35). We were able to complete separate guided hikes at Machu Picchu and then enjoy one of the circuits together. She reworked our itinerary when our flight schedule changed, and her communication both before and during our trip was excellent.
Our guides through Peruvian Soul and other tour companies/freelancers were top-notch. Nancy, who introduced us to Lima, was such a sweetheart. She was very knowledgeable about Peru’s history, and her love of and pride in Peru was evident in her enthusiasm.. the lunch spot she took us to was so cute and cultural, and we appreciated her ordering the food for us. Delicious all around!
Danny was our second guide and was with us for several days/outings. He was also very knowledgeable and answered all of the many questions we had about Peruvian culture. He was very flexible within our routine, and made time one day to visit Seminario Ceramics which I requested on a whim. Danny always explained the plan for the coming day(s) so that we were aware of places and times. He has a great sense of humor and made our time not only interesting but also fun. Danny made an extra effort.(along with Eddy ) to return my jacket which I’d accidentally left in Eddy’s backpack at Machu Picchu. I didn’t specifically request the jacket back, just mention that I’d left it behind, and somehow between the two of them, the jacket was returned to me. This was above and beyond what was necessary and I am very grateful for their efforts and thoughtfulness.
Our Machu Picchu guides (Eddy snd Wilson) we’re also terrific. Eddy provided so many details I’d not known about Machu Picchu. He kept the pace comfortable and stopped when he felt like I needed a breather and/or a moment to rest. He was very patient and attentive to my questions and picture requests. Thank you, Eddy,for a great MP tour and for getting my jacket back to me!
Miguel was with us at Rainbow Mountain and was, as the others, an exemplary guide. He was willing to let us explore a bit on our own yet kept a watchful eye on us as we climbed higher..
He stopped on our way to give a ride to a native Peruvian woman carrying a pack - a lovely gesture.
Marco was our guide on the bus trip to Puno. He gave us great service and kept Andrew and me aware of what would occur at each stop, speaking personally to us in English as we were the only native English speakers on the tour.. We appreciated the extra effort. Marco made to help us understand what he was saying and to make us feel more comfortable.
Our final guide was Aldo, who led our group tour to Lake Titicaca. He again was very knowledgeable and entertaining. He kept us traveling at a doable pace and made us aware of the altitude changes that might affect us. He also provided valuable tips about interacting with the native folks at Uros and on Taquille Island. Aldo encouraged me at lunch to try the trout.(I don’t care for Midwestern.U.S. trout), and I’m glad he did as it was delicious.
One other delicious aspect, I must mention was the market tour and cooking class we did at the Mama Seledonia restaurant. Mama.Seledonia wasn’t able to be there, but her son stood in for her and did a great job. It was such fun! I will be trying to make Pisco sours at home.
Our drivers were excellent all week - Luis, Kevin, others whose names I missed -we felt safe and in good hands. So glad we had experienced drivers to get us from one place to another, safely and on time.
All in all, our trip to Peru was truly a “once in a lifetime experience” thanks to kimkim, Peruvian Soul, and all of the above. I’m sure I missed a few names and I apologize but send a big thank you to all. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience!

Everything was excellent from start to finish. Jimena and the rest of the team planned our trip down to every small detail. From airport pickups, arranging breakfast/lunch boxes while travelling and taking us to the excursions. The guides and drivers were punctual, knowledgeable and willing to adapt pace to the day. They even helped us dealing with the altitude sickness in Cusco. We would recommend without hesitation. Read more
