MACHUPICCHU PERU

What MACHUPICCHU PERU does

Machu Picchu Peru Trip is the consumer-facing brand of Leading Peru Travel S.R.L., a privately held Peruvian travel agency founded in 2011 and headquartered in Cusco, with an additional operational office at Calle Fierro N° 477 in Cusco. The company designs and sells all-inclusive, personalized tour packages ranging from 1 to 30 days covering Peru (Machu Picchu, Sacred Valley, Cusco, Lima, Lake Titicaca, Amazon/Iquitos, Arequipa, Nazca, Colca Canyon) and multi-country extensions into Bolivia, Chile, Ecuador, Brazil, and Colombia. Pricing is per person and varies by hotel star category (2-star to 5-star), group occupancy (single, double, triple), and optional train upgrades (Expedition, Panoramic, or Belmond Hiram Bingham luxury train), with package prices ranging roughly from USD 435 to USD 9,045 per person.

The business is built around a direct-to-consumer go-to-market: customers discover tours through the multilingual website (English, French, Spanish), TripAdvisor reviews, and social channels (TikTok, Instagram, Facebook), then convert via inquiry forms, phone (+51 984509207), WhatsApp, or email ([email protected]; [email protected]). The technology stack is a content-rich Drupal-based website with destination pages, blog articles, and SEO optimization rather than an online checkout or booking engine — bookings are finalized through human sales agents offering custom-quoted itineraries with 24/7 availability. The company holds certifications from CANATUR, MINCETUR, PROMPERU, and DRIT, providing legal operating status and quality assurance within the Peruvian tourism sector.

Revenue is generated almost entirely through one-time tour package sales, with each booking encompassing flights, hotels, guides, train tickets, attraction tickets, and transfers. Customer segments include affluent international tourists seeking luxury Peru experiences, adventure trekkers (Inca Trail, Salkantay, Lares, Choquequirao), families and groups, cultural/heritage enthusiasts, and multi-country South America circuit travelers. The company is privately owned with no disclosed parent, institutional investors, or external funding, and operates with 41 employees.
