PERU A TRAVEL (PAT)

What PERU A TRAVEL (PAT) does

Perú A Travel (PAT) is a Lima-based boutique inbound tour operator and destination management company (DMC) founded in 1983, serving international tourists and corporate groups traveling to Peru and select Latin American destinations. The company curates and sells pre-packaged multi-day tour programs (organized under PAT codes across 12+ Peruvian destinations including Cusco, Lima, Arequipa, Iquitos, Puno, Huaraz, and Trujillo), tailor-made itineraries, Amazon River cruises from Iquitos, and MICE (meetings, incentives, conferences, events) services, with documented execution as official tour operator for international congresses such as the 7th World Congress of Behavioral & Cognitive Therapies. It also offers multi-country extensions into Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, and Argentina. The business is operated with a very small permanent team of 8 employees headquartered in Lima, with no disclosed proprietary technology platform — operations rely on standard booking and reservation systems and a multilingual WordPress-based website supporting English, Spanish, Italian, and Portuguese.

Commercial mechanics are direct-to-consumer and direct-to-B2B: pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, with bookings generated via the website, email ([email protected]), and phone. Customer segments are split between international individual tourists (primary) and corporate/MICE groups (secondary), with revenue treated as one-time transactional per tour booking plus professional services fees for MICE delivery. The company holds no patents or trademarks of note, but is an official Marca Perú licensee accredited by Promperú, and is a member of Canatur, COTAL, Lima Convention & Visitors Bureau, MPI, and a supporter of Travelers Against Plastic. The company is privately held with no disclosed parent, no funding rounds, and no institutional investors identified.

• Aqua Expeditions: High-end small-ship expedition cruise operator with Amazon and Mekong itineraries including departures from Iquitos. Comparable on luxury Amazon cruise product positioning, though broader geographic footprint and higher price point than PAT.

Direct peers
