I believe the best journeys start with truly listening. When I design a trip, my goal is for travelers to feel that every detail reflects who they are—their interests, their pace, and the kind of experience they’re looking for.
To me, travel design is also about welcoming someone into my country as I would into my own home—sharing Peru with care, intention, and a genuine sense of hospitality.
I enjoy creating journeys that feel seamless, personal, and thoughtfully put together, allowing travelers to experience Peru’s culture, gastronomy, and landscapes in a way that feels both meaningful and memorable.
What places and activities do you specialize in?
"I specialize in travel across Peru, particularly in Lima and the Cusco region, including the Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu.
I enjoy designing trips for families, couples, honeymooners and groups, with an emphasis on cultural, historical, and gastronomic experiences. I tailor each journey to the traveler, incorporating these elements based on their interests."
How did you get involved in travel?
"Travel has always been a big part of my life. Experiencing different places gave me those unforgettable “wow” moments—the kind that stay with you long after the trip ends. At the same time, it made me appreciate my own country in a completely different way.
That’s what led me into travel design. I wanted to help others experience Peru not just as a destination, but as something more personal and meaningful, creating journeys that truly connect them with the culture, people, and landscapes."
Please share a unique travel experience you will never forget.
"One experience I’ll never forget was my first time visiting the Sacred Valley. Leaving Cusco and watching the landscape suddenly open up was unforgettable, but what truly stayed with me were the stories shared along the way.
Through those moments, I began to understand why the Incas considered it a sacred place—not just for its beauty, but for its deeper connection to nature and life itself. It completely changed the way I see the destination, and it’s something I always try to share with travelers."

Our most fun and fondest memories were glamping above the Sacred Valley in Misminay - fun and beautiful and personal. If you consider this, do keep in mind its altitude, it’s very high.

Jorge was very helpful and responsive while planning our trip! Our guide, Julio, in Peru was very dedicated and knowledgeable, it was a pleasure spending time with him. In Bolivia, our guide Frans, and driver Ivan, were great! We really enjoyed both of them for our tours of La Paz and the Bolivian side of Titicaca. All of our guides, including the daytrip guides, were good.

Uyuni Salt Flat Adventure
Bolivia
The salt flats are very unique. I have mixed feelings about traveling so much just to see the area for one day, but it was a beautiful day and interesting scenery. There isn't much else to see or do in the area. The guides fixed us a nice lunch on the flats. We took the popular silly pictures. The hotel we stayed at, (The Salt hotel) was amazing. Unfortunately I was sick and didn't get to enjoy the hotel much.

Beautiful setting, and pretty drive to the tombs. Perfect stop to occupy us since we had time before our flight. The tombs are interesting

We found a small family-run restaurant in San Blas neighborhood where we had coca tea and amazing ceviche. Hiking up the steps in the San Blas area gave us an amazing view of the city
Machu Picchu Exploration
Aguas Calientes/ Machu Picchu
Of course Machu Picchu is an amazing place, which is why it is so popular. Despite the number of tourists there it didn't feel too crowded. The transport to and from was pretty well organized and ran smoothly.

the archaelogical site was interesting, beautiful setting. The town of Pisac was in a beautiful area, I wish we could have spent more time in the town. I don't always love when we're taken to a particular store but hopefully it's for good reason.
