About Inti Adventure Travel: Private Journeys in Peru, Made Around You

✦ Our Essence, Our Ayllu: More Than a Journey

We are INTI ADVENTURE TRAVEL E.I.R.L., a licensed travel company based in Cusco, Peru, officially authorized by GERCETUR and MINCETUR.

At Inti Adventure Travel, we are an Ayllu, an extended Andean family united by care for our ancestral land. We invite you to shape a journey that awakens the soul.

Watch the first light touch Machu Picchu. Walk the warm, fertile Sacred Valley. Wander the old stone streets of Cusco. Breathe slowly beside the Apus, our sacred mountains, and share daily life with living communities across Peru.

Every journey is private and made around you. We listen to what you want to see and feel, then shape each detail, whether you travel solo to renew yourself, as a couple, with family, with friends, in a women’s circle, or joyfully with your pet.

We leave mass tourism behind to build real bridges between travelers and local communities. Our pet-friendly journeys let you walk the trails side by side with your four-legged companion. We travel with respect for nature, so these places stay alive for the next generations.

◈ Our Andean Pillars

• Munay (Love & Intention): Everything begins with love for Mother Earth, our communities, and all animals. It guides every decision and invites you to connect from the heart.
• Yachay (Wisdom): We share our culture with humility. Listening to the stories of the elders opens space to learn together with local communities, keepers of ancestral wisdom.
• Ayni (Reciprocity): Giving and receiving in balance. Every blessing we receive on the path returns to the earth and to our allied families, who welcome you at their tables.
• Ayllu (Extended Family): You are welcomed as part of our family. Expect mindful care, warm company, and genuine attention on every private journey.
• Llank’ay (Building Together): We create journeys hand in hand with community families, with clear intentions, so travel honors and protects their living heritage.

✎ The Soul Behind the Journey: Carla Montesinos’ Story

A Path Shaped by Devotion and the Land

Inti Adventure Travel was born from deep passion and years on the trail. Carla Montesinos holds a degree in Tourism and Hospitality Management and is a certified Official Tour Guide. For more than 11 years, she has explored, interpreted, and led journeys along Peru’s most majestic trails.

Carla guides with an open heart. Crossing high Andean passes and descending into the green Amazon, she realized that Peru’s greatest treasure is its people and the living memory of their culture.

The Meaning of INTI

Guided by love for her roots, Carla felt a clear calling to change how the world experiences Peru: with respect and presence, leaving surface-level sightseeing behind to find the depth of Andean wisdom and to honor the communities who keep our heritage alive. From that calling came Inti Adventure Travel.

In Quechua, our native language, Inti is the sacred Sun, the eternal source of light, warmth, and life. It is the light that warms the high mountain trails and shows the way forward. Our name means a journey guided by light, one that welcomes you into a warm Ayllu where you travel safely, joyfully, and with purpose.

Carla shares a conviction that inspires every trail:

“The sanctuaries often called archaeological sites are alive and vibrating with ancient knowledge. Our Inka ancestors are still present there, whispering timeless messages across the centuries. Ours was, and remains, a remarkable civilization in astronomy, architecture, engineering, art, medicine, agriculture, and sacred knowledge, one that still lives today”.

Spiritual Journeys & Ancestral Renewal

Our paths invite you to feel your breath slow and match the rhythm of Pachamama (Mother Earth) as you receive the energy of ancient stone temples and the green sanctuaries of the Amazon. It is a gentle invitation to quiet, stillness, and inner renewal, guided by respect for the elders.
