We Help You Experience Peru Through The Eyes of a Local
We’re 100% locally owned and operated, with guides, porters, and chefs who grew up in the Cusco region. Fluent in Spanish, English, and Quechua, our team brings unmatched cultural and historical knowledge to share with you. Traveling with us means gaining insight into Peru’s traditions, landscapes, and stories from those who know them best.
We Work With Professional Guides Who Provide Exceptional Service
Our guides are the best of the best. Truly skilled experts with at least 5 years of experience, every guide we employ is ready to share their expertise on Peru’s trails, culture, and history. Our porters are no exception. They work hard to make your journey one for the books, while our chefs will prepare you delicious meals along the way. With a 99% recommendation rate, we’re dedicated to making every detail of your trip unforgettable.
We’re Committed to Our Team
Our porters and horsemen are easily the backbone of every trek. That’s why we are fully committed to prioritizing their well-being. We ensure they’re paid above-average wages—higher than those offered by most tour companies—recognizing their hard work and dedication to the team. Beyond fair pay, we truly care for their well-being, providing proper gear, meals, and working conditions so they’re not just safe but comfortable, too.
We Look Out for Our Community
A portion of every trek we sell supports local projects, like helping fund a much-needed school roof in Sacsayhuaman, where many of our team live. For years, children in the area had no nearby school and faced grueling four-hour walks in harsh conditions to get an education. Today, thanks to these contributions, they have a local school, and we continue to donate to its upkeep—because making an impact goes beyond the trek.
We Customize Our Adventures to Suit Your Travel Style
We want every trip to feel like it was made just for you. Whether you’re keen on hiking the famous Inca Trail, exploring lesser-known spots in the Sacred Valley, or tackling our one-of-a-kind Ancashcocha + Inca Trail trek, we’ll plan your adventure to fit your travel style. To keep things personal, we keep group sizes small—and if your group is larger than eight, we’ll bring in an extra guide so no one misses out on the experience.
We Travel with Purpose – Serving the Women, Children, & Men of Peru
Every journey with us has a ripple effect. Your adventure supports ethical tourism, fair wages for porters, and opportunities for female trekkers–many of whom are breaking barriers on the Inca Trail–and children. We’re passionate about creating opportunities for local children to grow up healthy and learn about everything their heart desires. Through initiatives like repairing schools, donating educational materials, and funding projects, we make it a mission to build a brighter future for kids in the Cusco region. Every trek you take with us contributes to this mission. When you book with us, you’re not just exploring Peru; you’re investing in it and setting a standard for all other tourism companies and tourists.
Our Reputation is Built on Trust
Year after year, Action Peru Treks has earned top ratings on TripAdvisor and the prestigious Certificate of Excellence. We’ve worked hard for these awards and are proud to see our hard work recognized. Even prouder to know our travelers leave with unforgettable memories and stories worth sharing.

Our Mission & Vision
We want to provide you with the best quality experience, from your first step, until you return home. We hope you’ll tell your friends and family about the magic and beauty of the Sacred Valley.
We are fully-licensed and proud to be a completely local indigenous company that promotes responsible tourism in Peru. Our prices are affordable and our guides, cooks and porters always receive fair compensation for their hard work. Our team loves the work we do, and it shows. We want to share our knowledge and love of Peru with you!
Sustainable Tourism
We are 100% ECO-FRIENDLY. Period. It is important for us to avoid anything that is harmful to the trail and other sacred sites! The environment is something we are very passionate about. We engage in eco-friendly habits and practices by being more conscious of how we use resources. 
We are always and will continue to be considerate and respectful of Peru’s customs, traditions, religions and culture. Increasing environmental and cultural awareness encourages preservation of what Peru holds dear for generations to come.
Supporting Local Communities
Cultural diversity makes Peru a unique place to visit. We want to support the local economy, provide jobs for locals, and use locally made/provided supplies and services to help communities thrive.
Action Peru Treks is dedicated to empowering women. Unfortunately, women have been underestimated, underappreciated, and mistreated for far too long in Peru.
They deserve the chance to have the same jobs and social positions as men! So, expect to see more women working as porters and other members of our team on the Inca Trail! We are always and will continue to be considerate and respectful of Peru’s customs, traditions, religions and culture.
Increasing environmental and cultural awareness encourages preservation of what Peru holds dear for generations to come.
Supporting Education
The communities of Soqma and Rayan, located in the district of Ollantaytambo, are abundant with ancestral customs, but families struggle with quality of life.
People in this area raise mostly agriculture and livestock, but Andean geography and seasonal rains make farming a challenge. Crops raised are only enough for family consumption and the terrain does not lend well to larger herds of livestock. The villages of Soqma and Rayan are home to approximately 200 people.
Despite living in a rural area with limited resources, the children have hopes, dreams and goals of being successful professionals one day. But with lack of opportunities, tools, and funding, they often have to set aside their aspirations. Action Peru Treks wants the children in these communities to succeed and thrive – and education is vital for making that happen.
The combined school was shut down and abandoned at the onset of COVID, nearly two years ago. Action Peru Treks’ fundraising efforts have helped make the school’s dire need of building maintenance possible. Thank you to all those who donated!
