Our mission is to get you off the beaten track and into the mountains, experiencing the best the Andes has to offer and catching a glimpse of the REAL Peru. We specialize in fostering authentic experiences that will leave lasting memories. We think you’ll love seeing the Andes through our eyes!
Many of our routes are ONLY offered by Apus Peru. Even on more popular routes, we make an effort to avoid crowds and personalize your experience. >> See our Treks!
Every inquiry is personally answered by our expert sales team, and we take the time to customize your experience, tailored to your needs and interests. We only offer private group tours, meaning that you can depart any day.
Many agencies on-sell their clients to other companies, meaning that although you book with Agency A, you may actually depart with Agency B. We will never do this. If you book with us, you depart with us.
We follow ecologically and economically sustainable business practices, including above-average wages for our guides, cooks, muleteers and porters. We have a clearly outlined Sustainability Policy and annual staff training in environmental best practices. In 2011-13, we were recognized for our efforts and certified by the Rainforest Alliance in Sustainable Tourism. We were the first trekking agency in Cusco to seek this verification!
Apus Peru donates USD $20.00 per passenger to Threads of Peru, a local non-profit that works to sustain Andean weaving traditions and provide economic opportunities to weavers in the same remote indigenous communities that we trek through. Our donation has a significant impact, and constitutes about 15% of Threads of Peru’s annual budget.
We are honest and forthright in all of our dealings. We will share frank feedback from past clients, ensuring that you have the best information available to you when making a decision. Our prices are clearly advertised on our website, and we are open about what this does and doesn’t include. There are no hidden fees. Read more about what goes into our prices below.
