What truly shapes the journey is understanding how the country unfolds —
from Lima’s food culture to the Sacred Valley,
and the slower rhythm of the Andes, where each place reveals itself in a different way.
When the journey is designed with the right pace,
it becomes something far more immersive — and far more meaningful.
Peru is not difficult to visit.
But it is easy to experience only the surface.
Planning a trip to Peru often starts with a single idea.
What most travelers don’t see yet… is how the journey actually comes together.
Every journey is privately designed — and shaped around how you like to travel
After the Journey
There’s something we hear often after our travelers return from Peru.
They didn’t realize this kind of journey through Peru was possible —
one that combines culture, landscapes, exceptional food, and meaningful encounters along the way.
They remember the balance: time to explore, time to slow down, and the feeling of being taken care of throughout the journey.
Because when Peru is designed thoughtfully,
you stop thinking about logistics — and simply experience it.
That’s when Peru becomes more than a destination —it becomes something you carry with you.

Hi, we’re Clara and Maria — the Barciela sisters.
We founded Across South America to design journeys that feel personal, thoughtful, and deeply connected to place.
We believe the best trips aren’t about seeing more — but about experiencing places well: the right pace, beautiful lodges, meaningful encounters, and the freedom to simply enjoy the journey.
And creating journeys you’ll never forget.

Every detail was double checked, hotels recommended were excellent, each guide was terrific and all transfers happened seamlessly. They handled flight cancellations and provided alternatives and made sure that we had a trip of a lifetime. I highly recommend Across South America!

Two weeks travelling around Chile and Argentina were filled not only with experiences that I was seeking, but opportunities to be immersed in ways I had not imagined. I feel enriched, leaving a little part of me behind in exchange for returning with wonderful memories and new perspectives.
"The entire experience felt like dear friends doing me a favor."

If we had any trouble we only needed to send a quick WhatsApp message and there was an immediate reply. They really listened to what we wanted — the activities were well planned and the customer support above and beyond. This was the trip of a lifetime!
"I hired this company because they are on the ground in South America."

The team at Across South America professionally created and executed an amazing 36-day adventure to celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary. We're discriminating travellers and our expectations were continually exceeded. Highly recommend!
"We've traveled extensively for 20 years and this was the best trip of them all."
Most Peru journeys we design combine Lima, the Sacred Valley, and Machu Picchu — often with extensions to the Amazon or beyond — and typically range between 7 and 12 days.
If Peru has been on your mind, we’d be happy to explore ideas with you.
