About us
We compose private journeys through the coast, the highlands, and the southern Amazon — horseback, ceremony, and quieter valleys, with a small footprint. We are not the first company on the classic Inca Trail. We are the team that will tell you when a quieter road is the better one.
Dates to remember
2019
Cusco becomes the highland heart: private days in the saddle, and the quieter valleys toward Machu Picchu.
2021
Lima is set as the Pacific gate — a proper first night before anyone flies to altitude.
2022
River days in Madre de Dios: lodges set back from the crowd, wildlife, and the southern Amazon.
2024
Desks in the United Kingdom and the United States, so travellers can call in their own morning. Cusco remains the heart.
2025
Puno and Arequipa join the map — Lake Titicaca, sillar streets, and canyon country at a southern pace.
2026
Horseback, llamas, and a Pachamama offering composed as one highland day — small, specific, and not staged.
The team in Cusco
Go Peru Now was built on the vision of a highland team who prefer private days to coach tours. They opened quieter routes toward Machu Picchu — Salkantay among them — and kept Lima as the Pacific gate, Madre de Dios as the forest, Puno and Arequipa as the southern pace.
With a Cusco office, and desks in the United Kingdom and the United States, they opened the Andes without claiming to have discovered them. Respect for local communities, and a small footprint, remain the foundation of the work.
The days they compose stay specific: a saddle in highland grass, a Pachamama offering that is not staged, a river lodge set back from the crowd. The journey is written with you — not sold from a rack of dates.
Values that inspire us
Pioneers
Quiet roads, not a coach tour
We are not the first company on the classic Inca Trail. We are the team that will tell you when a quieter valley is the better day — horseback country, Salkantay, and lodges set back from the crowd.
Guides
Local teams in the high country and the forest
The people who walk, ride, and sit the offering with you are from the ground you are on. English is common on a private journey; it is not a substitute for a local guide at altitude or on the river.
Safety
Private journeys, altitude and river sense
We run private days, not backpacker circuits. Coast first when you need it, high country when you are ready for the altitude, jungle when you want the canopy. Tell us your constraints before you fly.
Service
Small groups, desks you can actually call
Cusco is the heart. There are also desks in the United Kingdom and the United States, so you can call in your own morning. The journey is composed with you, not sold from a rack of dates.
Journeys
Horseback, ceremony, quieter valleys
The work is specific: a day in the saddle, llamas on the high grass, a Pachamama offering that is not staged, a quieter road toward Machu Picchu, river days in Madre de Dios.
Sustainability
A small footprint, from the start
We have prioritized sustainability since our inception: small groups, local teams, lodges and trails that do not need a crowd to make the day work.

Sustainability policy
At Go Peru Now, we define our success by the value we bring — to the people who host the day, and to the ground it is walked on.
Business management
Private journeys, not a coach circuit. Groups stay small enough to change a day when the weather or the community asks it. Cusco is the heart; desks in the United Kingdom and the United States exist so a traveller can call in their own morning.
Sociocultural management
The people who ride, walk, and sit a Pachamama offering with you are from the ground you are on. Ceremony is not staged for a photograph. We pay local teams, and we do not invent firsts on the classic Inca Trail.
Environment management
A small footprint since inception: lodges set back from the crowd, quieter valleys toward Machu Picchu, river days in Madre de Dios that do not need a ship. Big adventure, light on the ground.
