Peruvian Soul

Peruvian Soul was born in 2009 out of our love for travel and our desire to create the most authentic experiences in Peru. It was during a charming night in Lima that we decided -over a couple of beers- it was time to make this dream come true!

We are a dynamic company established to fulfill a dream: inspire the world to explore the Soul of our country. Whether it is a family trip, a dream honeymoon, or the adventure you’ve long been seeking, we will go the extra mile and make it come true. We are passionate travelers and have covered hundreds of kilometers all over Peru.

Our love for our country comes from deep within our hearts, and we won’t stop until we’ve shown the world what Peru is really about.

Exactly the trip I wanted. I appreciated getting to know the country in a variety of ways, particularly in terms of the history, culture and nature. I also really enjoyed getting off the beaten path for several days of more aggressive hiking, and away from the crowds. I had great guides all around - Guido, Hugo + Team, Juan Carlos and Dennys. Many thanks to Jimena for creating a great itinerary. Read more

Paracas was a huge surprise, as we did not know how expansive the Desert was and the Paracas Reserve was fabulous. Alvaro was the consummate Tour Guide, as the Desert is his life. The adventures he took us on will forever be etched in our memories.

Our days with EJ and Willie (our driver) were filled with wonderful and epic sites. EJ is a plethora of knowledge concerning the Inca people and culture. We learned so much from him. The side excursions like Stargazing alongside the road was awesome. And our coffee stops were filled with great conversation. We will forever remember EJ, as a Friend and Family.

Hi Brian

Thank you so much for taking the time to share such a nice review. It’s lovely to read that Machu Picchu, Lima, Paracas, and the Sacred Valley all left a great impression.

I’ve shared your kind words with Nancy and Alvaro. And I’m especially happy to hear how much you enjoyed your time with EJ and Willie. Knowing that EJ became not just your guide but someone you’ll remember as a friend and part of the family is incredibly special. That is exactly the kind of connection we hope our travelers take home with them.
