Meet Our Expert Local Guides
Our local guides play an important role in every tour and trekking expedition. Native to the Cusco region, they have knowledge of the area’s history, archaeological sites, geography and local traditions.
Our guides speak English and Spanish, and many also speak Quechua, the language still spoken in Andean communities. With tourism degrees, a minimum of three years of experience and annual training in first aid and safety, they are prepared to assist travelers throughout their journeys.
For trekking expeditions, guides carry essential safety equipment, including first aid kits and oxygen. Depending on the route and operational arrangements, communication equipment and emergency evacuation plans are also part of the expedition’s safety planning.
They share information about Inca history, Andean culture and the places visited, helping travelers better understand the destinations along the way.
With their local knowledge and experience, our guides accompany travelers exploring Peru, from cultural visits around Cusco to multi-day trekking routes in the Andes.
Our Trekking Chefs
Our trekking chefs are responsible for preparing meals during our multi-day trekking expeditions. Their work is an important part of camp operations, ensuring that meals are prepared on schedule and that travelers receive food throughout the journey.
With experience in restaurant kitchens and preparation of Peruvian and international dishes, our chefs organize menus according to the conditions of each trek. They also consider dietary requirements and food preferences communicated by travelers before departure.
Rather than relying on the same fixed menu for every expedition, our chefs prepare different meals using the ingredients and supplies available for each route.
They also coordinate with the trekking support team to organize kitchen equipment, food supplies and meal preparation at campsites. Their work helps keep the daily operations of each expedition organized.
Our Porters and Horsemen
Porters and horsemen are essential members of our trekking support teams. They help transport equipment and supplies, organize campsites and prepare designated lunch and rest areas along the routes.
On the Inca Trail, porters carry loads according to the weight limits established by local regulations. On other trekking routes, horsemen and their horses or mules transport equipment and supplies where permitted.
At Cusco Journeys, we consider our porters and horsemen important members of every expedition. At our company, we believe that your work should be recognized through fair compensation, adequate meals, suitable accommodation, and access to life and medical insurance.
Furthermore, at Cusco Journeys, we respect your individuality and personal choices, including those regarding the wearing of uniforms. We want every member of our trekking team to work in conditions that respect their dignity and well-being.
Our trekking operations also work with people from Andean communities, creating opportunities for local participation in tourism. These communities include Colquepata and Huancarani in Paucartambo Province, Cupper in Chinchero District, Lares in Lares District and Patacancha in Ollantaytambo District.
Through these working relationships, we aim to support local livelihoods and encourage responsible tourism in the regions where our trekking routes operate.
Our Transportation Team
Transportation is another important part of organizing tours and trekking programs in Peru. Our drivers and transportation staff help coordinate transfers between airports, hotels, archaeological sites, trailheads and other destinations included in our itineraries.
We arrange different types of vehicles according to the route, group size and transportation requirements. These include Toyota vehicles for smaller groups and private transfers, vans for medium-sized groups and larger buses for longer journeys or bigger groups.
Our transportation services are organized according to the requirements of each trip, with attention to vehicle condition, passenger comfort and the applicable Peruvian safety and insurance requirements.
By coordinating transportation with our reservations and operations teams, we help ensure that transfers and scheduled journeys are properly organized throughout each travel program.
The People Behind Your Journey
At Cusco Journeys, every department contributes to the organization of our tours and trekking expeditions. From the reservations team and local guides to chefs, porters, horsemen and drivers, our work depends on communication and coordination between everyone involved.
We value the people who make these journeys possible and recognize the importance of their work in providing travelers with well-organized experiences throughout Peru.
We look forward to connecting with you and helping turn your Peruvian adventure into a reality!
