Customised Trip Planning & Local Tour Operator Services
Who we are
My name is James, I’m 47 years old, love to explore and for the last 10 years (and counting!) I’ve been living and working out of Cusco, Perú. I’ve spent the last 20+ years exploring and travelling throughout South America.
I love great adventures and trips that are unexpected or have a ‘surprise‘ element to them. We always plan our own trips, working with local guides & sometimes small operators in each country, this helps us maintain an excellent level of quality and gives us adaptability for plan alterations.
Our ‘basis of existence‘ is to continue developing overland expeditions and bespoke trips, for our travelling groups, that often venture from the traditionally trodden paths offered in guidebooks; with the aim of taking you further into the incredible countries & environments that exist in the continent of Latin America.
We spend a lot time exploring, trekking & climbing in the Andes, venturing into the Cordilleras Principal, Vilcanota, Vilcabamba, Blanca & Huayhuash.
These are located around the Cusco Region, north in Huaraz, Ancash & Argentina, Mendoza. They are immense ranging mountains, all with stunning trek & climb routes, natural environments & community cultures that you’re unlikely to experience elsewhere in the world.
How did you get involved in travel?
“Having lived in Cusco over 20 years ago, learning and working for a few different tour operators here, I decided to return to get involved with the travel industry here again because the excitement of travel in this continent draws you in. The atmosphere, culture & local traditions, make Cusco the destination for all travelers to South America.
We like to approach travel & expeditions in a way that all things are possible and when the opportunity arises we get great satisfaction designing tours for adventurous travelers who like to go off the beaten path.”
What places and activities do you specialize in?
«Trekking & Climbing in the Andes & customized Expeditions in South America. This year, and next, our aims are to continue expanding into Ecuador, Bolivia & Colombia along with breaking new trips & expeditions to Mexico, Cuba, Costa Rica & Guatemala.
More recently we have been exploring the Peruvian Amazon, both along the Madre de Dios & Tambopata Rivers in Puerto Maldonado. We have plans to open our lodge in the Tambopata National Reserve next year (2025) and we hope you’ll join us there for some incredible adventures 🙂
