Tierras Vivas: Your Best Tour Operator for 2025 & 2026 Adventures

Tierras Vivas is a 100% local Peruvian tour operator and travel agency that has been proudly operating since 2006.
We specialize in hiking, trekking, nature tours, rafting, biking, history, private excursions, and customizable trips throughout Peru.

Over the years, we have consistently received five-star reviews on TripAdvisor and Certificates of Excellence. We have also been recognized as one of the best Inca Trail tour operators. These reviews motivate our entire team, including our staff, guides, trekking chefs, and porters, to continue providing unforgettable travel experiences.

Every booking reflects a satisfied traveler. You may wonder why we haven't accumulated more reservations over the years. Many of our adventurers prefer to keep their memories private and don't leave online reviews. Yet their gratitude and loyalty keep them coming back year after year.

Tierras Vivas - Living Lands has thrived thanks to word-of-mouth recommendations from happy travelers and trusted partnerships with global platforms such as Viator by TripAdvisor and TourRadar. These platforms recognize us as one of the best tour operators in Peru.

We also want to address the negative reviews we’ve received on TripAdvisor. We understand that we made mistakes in our early years. We're not perfect, but we've listened, learned, and improved. These experiences have pushed us to improve the quality of our services through training and collaboration with Peruvian government institutions and private companies. Today, we continue working to be one of the most reliable and experienced operators in the industry.

Professional Local Guides

We count on a large number of staff who are very experienced and always ready to offer you personalized services. They will guide you not only on the Inca Trail, Salkantay Trek, Inca Quarry Trail, or Alternative Hikes to Machu Picchu but in all the Peru.

Trekking Porters

Tierras Vivas DOES NOT permit exploitation of Porters!! We guarantee that our porters carry only an amount given by the Peruvian law!! There is still a long way to go when it comes to a reserve of adequate meals, backpacks, and warm and dry sleeping accommodations. However, Tierras Vivas complies with the so-called Porter´s Law and provides all the equipment to our porters for a hike on the Inca Trail, which you will be able to see for yourself when you come with us.
