Lupe Rojas
I love to help travellers to design and execute the trip of their dreams, and helping them every step of the way.
Our tours go deeper than you would believe possible in the same time other companies take to show you a few highlights. I'm all about showing you the real South America. You don't need to go far off the beaten track. You just have to know where to look.
What places and activities do you specialize in?
"Authentic cultural encounter, bespoke custom trips, family trips and adventure trips, especially in Peru (which I know like the back of my hand). "
How did you get involved in travel?
"I studied tourism in Lima, after I became a naturalist guide and moved in the Peruvian amazon where I guided groups for 3 years, then I led groups of travelers from diferent parts of the world all over the southern part of South America for nine years, and since then have spent the last seven years working in all aspects of sales, bookings and operations in Peruvian tourism."
Please share a unique travel experience you will never forget.
"One day I realized how epic where my guiding days, waking up in Brazil, had breakfast en Rio, lunch in Santiago de Chile, and dinner in Buenos Aires. And then, of course, I tangoed till dawn! "

I knew nothing about Peru before I went, but Lupe, Natty, Yuri, and everyone on the Aspiring Adventures team that kimkim connected us to were great. We learned a ton about Peru's culture, cuisine and wildlife and I'd absolutely recommend Peru, Aspiring Adventures, and kimkim for anyone who buys a cheap flight to Peru knowing nothing and wants to come out with an amazing experience and a new appreciation for every kind of potato and pisco.
We are very gratefull with your reviews , it was a pleasure to share a little of our beloved country with you guys.
We hope to hear from you and to be part of your future trips.
Big hugs from Aspiring Adventure's team

Each of our hotel's were perfectly chosen, small thing's like hot water in Pisac or face clothes in Cusco could have made them better though to North America travelers. We did find all of our host's lovely and gracious though and enjoyed their accommodations.
Perhaps adding a down day in the middle of a 10 day tour for relaxation is... Read more

We just finished an amazing trip to Peru. Justino was an excellent guide who provided us with an authentic Peruvian experience. We were able to engage with locals, stay at family run hotels and learn about the history of the area. Our driver Reuben was also amazing, caring, and fantastic driver who safely drove us each day. I would highly recommend Aspiring Adventures to anyone looking for a uniquely personalized Peruvian adventure!
