Our Essence, Our Ayllu: Beyond a Journey, a Sacred Communion

We are Inti Adventure Travel E.I.R.L., an authorized inbound tour operator based in Cusco, Peru, fully licensed by GERCETUR and MINCETUR.

At Inti Adventure Travel, we are an Ayllu: an extended Andean family united by profound reverence and active care for our ancestral land. Far from merely selling travel packages, we invite you to become the active creator of unique, transformative, and unforgettable journeys that awaken the soul: from an iconic exploration of the sacred Sanctuary of Machu Picchu, delving into the vibrant fertility of the Sacred Valley of the Inkas, wandering the historic cobblestone streets of imperial Cusco, connecting your breath with the majesty of sacred mountain peaks (Apus), to sharing daily life within living native communities across Peru.

We curate private expeditions and bespoke experiences crafted exclusively to your desires. We listen to what you yearn to see and feel, shaping every detail according to your personal vision: whether you choose to travel solo for self-renewal, as a couple celebrating love, with family to deepen bonds, with friends, with your circle of women explorers, or joyfully accompanied by your beloved pet.

We transcend conventional mass tourism to build bridges of authentic cultural communion. We are regional pioneers in opening the trail to shared companionship through authentically pet-friendly expeditions, allowing you to experience the joy of trekking side by side with your pet as an active partner. Guided by a deeply ecological philosophy, we walk in tune with every ecosystem we visit, ensuring your steps today nurture flourishing conservation for tomorrow.

The Soul Behind the Journey: Carla Montesinos’ Story

A Path Carved by Devotion and the Land

Our cultural sanctuary arose from deep passion and dedicated exploration. Carla Montesinos, holding a degree in Tourism and Hospitality Management and certified as an Official Tour Guide, has dedicated over 11 years to exploring, interpreting, and leading expeditions across Peru’s most majestic and sacred trails.

Moving far beyond technical guiding, Carla journeys with an open heart and keen awareness. Traversing high Andean summits and descending into lush Amazonian biodiversity, she realized that the greatest treasure of Peru lies in its people and the preservation of their living cultural memory.

Sacred Inspiration: Returning to the Source

Guided by unconditional devotion to her roots, Carla felt a clear calling to transform how the world experiences Peru. She championed decolonized travel: an authentic way of exploring that leaves behind superficial sightseeing to embrace ancestral depth in Andean wisdom, honoring the communities who stand as living guardians of ancestral wisdom.

Carla shares an essential conviction that inspires every trail:

“The sacred sanctuaries commonly called archaeological zones are, in truth, fully alive and vibrating with ancient knowledge. Our Inka ancestors remain present there, whispering timeless messages across centuries. Ours was and remains an exceptionally advanced civilization in astronomy, architecture, engineering, art, medicine, agriculture, and sacred knowledge that continues to thrive today.”

From this certainty arose Inti Adventure Travel. In Quechua, Inti evokes the sacred Sun—the ultimate source of light, warmth, vitality, and life. It is that guiding light which invites travelers into an authentic Ayllu of purposeful exploration.

Mindful Spiritual Journeys & Ancestral Rebirth

Our pathways foster spiritual connection journeys, inviting travelers to feel their breath synchronize with Pachamama (Mother Earth) as they receive the vitality of ancient stone temples and biodiverse Amazonian sanctuaries. It is a gentle invitation to meditation, contemplative silence, and inner renewal, guided by reverence for the elders.

Mission & Vision
