About Us
Who are we?
Children of the sun, who teach the way of their Inka grandparents, to live a life in harmony and thus save life on Mother Earth (Pachamama)
Kuraka.travel is a 100% native Peruvian tourism company with roots in the city of Cusco, the capital of the ancient Inka civilization and the heart of our culture. This company was founded by Intiyayas (solar priests = shamans) to provide therapy to visitors through ancient knowledge while visiting Inkan temples (archaeological and natural centers). We help maintain the principle of preserving nature. We assist everyone who wants to recover their identity (origin) and innovate through personalized services that better explain Inkan knowledge (therapy) and open their eyes to reality, creating experiences that value life itself.
Our star product is our culture.
The purpose of Kuraka.travel is to achieve 100% customer satisfaction. This allows us to provide the best job performance in organizing your life experience during your trip, in order to raise awareness of our reality as human beings on planet earth (PACHAMAMA). We learn from consciousness so as not to be a victim of unconsciousness. As descendants of the Inkas, we continue to carry on the ancestral wisdom that they left us and share it with you.
To meet your expectations, we have developed a variety of itineraries that accommodate different personalities to ensure your satisfaction. We offer cultural experiences, which consist of visiting historic and archaeological sites accompanied by authentic Peruvian cuisine. Additionally, we provide several options for day hikes or longer treks to spectacular places in the Andes, visiting small communities and exploring mysterious places where our culture originated, in order to finally reach one of the wonders of the world, Machupicchu. Our adventure activities will increase the adrenaline on your trip with mountain scaling, mountain biking, river rafting, zip-lining, bungee jumping, paragliding, horseback riding, and more. We also welcome you to be a part of the retreats in the ancient temples of the Incas, where ceremonies are an important part of your experience and an opportunity to learn this ancient wisdom. We have designed and combined all the activities into different itineraries to satisfy any demand, need, and desire. In this way, we ensure that each of our products has the essence, innovation, and professionalism that is reflected in our personalized itineraries.
We are grateful to our Inka ancestors who did everything possible to leave us their wisdom, and it is an honor for us to share it with you. We maintain our ancestral wisdom and direct our lives and work with the Inka laws:
Ama q’uella, Ama llulla, and Ama sua
which means “Don’t be idle, Don’t be a liar, and Don’t be a thief.” Our concept of family is community, and we put it into practice with you in the sense of “sharing and teaching.” We will also explain to you the “why” behind our customs and traditions.
