Liz Karen L. Jihuallanca

Peruvian food, culture, and history aren’t just things I love—they’re a part of who I am. As a proud Cusqueñian, I carry my roots with pride and love sharing my culture with others.

I've lived and worked in the U.S., where I made amazing friends and had some great experiences. Before that, I worked on cruise ships, which gave me the chance to travel all over the world and see so many different places.

I’ve also explored Peru from top to bottom—north to south—and with every trip, I fell more in love with my country. That’s why I decided to settle back in Cusco, the place where I was born.

All these adventures taught me how important great service really is. I found my passion for travel—and for helping people create unforgettable journeys of their own.

My goal isn’t just to plan trips—it’s to help others fall in love with Peru the same way I did.

How did you get involved in travel?

"I started working in tourism at a young age while I was finishing university. I was always fascinated by the stories my clients shared about their travels, and I dreamed of exploring the world myself. So when the chance came to work on a cruise ship, I didn’t think twice—I jumped at the opportunity!

That amazing experience opened the door for me to work in the USA, which I was thrilled about. I made great friends there and really enjoyed my time.

After all my adventures abroad, I felt a strong pull to reconnect with my roots. So I traveled around Peru and completely fell in love with my country all over again. That’s when I knew—I wanted to settle down here in Cusco and share my passion for travel with others.

Now, I get to do what I love every day: helping people create perfect, personalized trips that show off the magic of Peru.

We highly recommend the Duna Camp “glamping” experience. As you’re making your way to Machu Picchu, you must stay a couple of nights in Tambo del Inka in Urubamba. It’s an incredible resort with an awesome spa. If you visit between June 9-28, you will have the opportunity to enjoy cultural celebrations throughout the highlands. It was an AMAZING vacation! Peru is a beautiful country that we will encourage all our friends and family to visit. Thank you Liz for organizing this amazing trip for us!

Our trip to Peru was absolutely outstanding—we loved every moment of it! The itinerary was thoughtfully planned, allowing us to experience the rich culture, stunning landscapes, and historical wonders the country has to offer.

One of the highlights of the trip was the incredible tour guides at each location. They were not only friendly and welcoming but also extremely knowledgeable and passionate about sharing their insights. Their expertise truly enriched our experience and helped us connect more deeply with each destination.

If there’s one suggestion I would make, it’s regarding the accommodation. While the 5-star hotels were certainly luxurious, the nature of the trip was so full-on that we barely spent any time at the hotels—essentially just to sleep and go. In this context, more modest accommodations could have been more practical and cost-effective, without compromising the overall experience.

Overall, it was an unforgettable journey, and we highly recommend this tour to anyone wanting to explore the best of Peru.
