Why Go Private

A guided trip built around your group — not a bus full of strangers

Most Peru trekking companies fill vans with 12–16 travelers on a fixed schedule. This is the alternative: a licensed guide, a flexible plan, and a pace set by you.

Licensed

Government-certified guide

Fully licensed with Peru's Ministry of Culture to lead treks in protected areas, including Machu Picchu.

Private

Your group only

No merging with other bookings. Departures are scheduled around your dates, not the other way around.

Local

Grew up on these trails

Routes, weather windows, and altitude pacing come from years on the ground — not a script.

Flexible

Itinerary adapts to you

Add a rest day, swap a route, adjust the pace for kids or altitude sensitivity — it's a conversation, not a menu.

What You Get

Everything handled, so you just have to hike

Every trek includes full support — no arranging porters or renting gear separately, no guessing what's covered.

A knowledgeable guide

Licensed, English-speaking, and with years on these exact trails — leading the group start to finish, not just pointing the way.

Porters for extra weight

Porters carry camping gear, food, and shared supplies, so you hike with a light daypack instead of a fully loaded pack.

A private chef

Hot, freshly cooked meals at camp each day — including options for dietary needs — instead of trail snacks and freeze-dried food.

All the gear

Four-season tents, sleeping bags rated for high altitude, and trekking poles are all provided — pack light and use ours.

→ Have your own gear preferences? Let us know and we'll adjust what's provided.

Your Guide

Led by someone who's walked every route hundreds of times

Born and raised in the Sacred Valley, your guide has spent years leading trekkers safely across the Salkantay, Inca Trail, and Ausangate routes — trained in wilderness first aid and licensed by Peru's Ministry of Culture to operate inside protected archaeological zones.

Every trip is planned personally, from route selection to altitude acclimatization, so groups get an itinerary that fits their pace and interests instead of a fixed package.

Common Questions

Before you book

Do I need hiking experience for these treks? +
Most routes are achievable for anyone in reasonably good health who can walk several hours a day. Altitude, not fitness, is usually the bigger factor — your guide builds in acclimatization time accordingly.
What's included in a private trek? +
Licensed guide, permits, transport to/from trailheads, camping or lodging along the route, and meals during the trek. Exact inclusions are confirmed per itinerary.
How far in advance should I book? +
Inca Trail permits sell out months ahead, especially June–August. Salkantay, Choquequirao, and Rainbow Mountain have more flexibility and can often be arranged with a few weeks' notice.
Can the itinerary be customized? +
Yes — since every trip is private, pace, rest days, and route variations can be adjusted around your group's needs.
