like the idea of "slow food", we advocate "slow tourism" - taking time to absorb, enjoy and savour the experience.

These adventure hikes are specially designed, and most are not offered in ANY other agency in Cusco, Peru. We have designed these tours ourselves, and as such, have a real passion for the places we show you. There is much more to Peru than the Inca Trail, and though undeniably Machu Picchu is a huge highlight, other Inca ruins like Choquequirao, Espiritu Pampa or Vilcabamba are very special adventure experiences.

Even if you have little time we you CAN see the real Peru and its highlights, but in a more relaxed and sensitive way!

Our tours are offered at affordable prices (similar to what you will get in Cusco around the Plaza) because we are a web-based company which provides low cost tours without compromising on quality. We don't have the expensive operating costs of our competitors, while we have a lot of passion for what we do!

In going places that other people don't, we run the risk of bringing tourism and its negative impacts to new places. This is the last thing that we want. We aim to "tread lightly and leave little trace" in both an environmental and cultural sense.

We have a strict policy of carrying our rubbish out and using environmentally friendly practices like using biodegradable washing products.

We believe that no matter how much time you have, there is no reason that you can't get away from the crowds and off the beaten track. In doing so, you connect with the "real Peru."
