Our trip to Peru absolutely exceeded expectations.
From the beginning, Shawna was a fantastic partner in helping us plan the best itinerary for our family. She answered all our questions quickly and thoroughly, providing excellent guidance as we weighed different options. She helped us create a balanced itinerary filled with unique, authentic experiences.
While all our guides were terrific, Abel - our guide in Cusco and the Sacred Valley - was in a category of his own. He went above and beyond, helping us navigate unexpected flight issues and some altitude sickness our daughter experienced when we first arrived in Cusco. He was incredibly knowledgeable about Inca and Quechua society and was able to explain things in an accessible that engaged our kids and got them excited about the history. He truly made our trip special.
From the food tour in Lima, to the dune buggy adventure in the Paracas desert, to exploring Ollyantaytambo and Machu Picchu, to visiting the local Cusco markets and cooking authentic Peruvian cuisine with a chef at her restaurant, it was an unforgettable vacation. I highly recommend Peruvian Soul.

Beautiful hotel with unique architecture. Terrific restaurant and bar. And the hot water bottles in our bed at night was such s treat
Activity Reviews
Blanca was a terrific guide! She brought us to an amazing market to start our day which helped us better understand the fruits and vegetables we would later see in the dishes we tried. From chocolate tasting to ceviche to classic lomo saltado - and ice cream to cap it all off! - the food was delicious. Highly recommend!
So. Much. Fun. Our kids (ages 24 and 11) had a blast!
One of the highlights of our trip! The people were so kind and genuinely seemed interested in sharing more about how they make the textiles. Lunch was delicious!
Abel was an amazing guide. He taught us all about the history and importance of Ollantaytambo and was very engaging.
Our favorite experience in Peru! Seledonia is a remarkable person and an incredible chef. We had so much fun visiting the market with her and then learning from her in her kitchen. Such a unique experience.
Thanks so much for your thoughtful words! It was truly a pleasure having your family travel with us here in Peru, as it is always great to host such kind and curious travelers. I will be sure to pass on your thoughts to the team, and we hope to see you all back in South America someday!
