Our Peru North birding experience was one of the highlights of our Peru trip When planning our 3-week Peru trip this year, we decided we wanted to do it on our own not with a group or tour. But then we discovered Peru North and all of the great tours they offer. We decided to do their 4-day Mountain Rainforest & Amazon Dry Forest Birding trip. It was one of the best decisions we made. Our guide Henry Pinedo was fantastic, better at finding and showing us birds than any I’ve ever met. We stayed at Pumarinri Lodge, which was exceptional! The food and service were top notch. The tour was completely personalized. We felt we were with friends rather than with a group of strangers. We did do the rest of our weeks on our own. But that was only possible because my partner speaks fluent Spanish. It also took months of planning and daily problem solving in country. With Peru North, everything was arranged and ran like clockwork! We’re already dreaming about our next venture to northern Peru and doing another excursion with Peru North. Cusco was nice but we really loved every place in the north! More...

What do you love most about your job?
We love to promote Peru's lesser-visited regions to an English-speaking public. And with the arrival of tourists to these areas, there is an obvious economic benefit to hotel owners, guides, restauranteurs etc, combined with a more subtle enhanced sense of worth for the local environment and traditions, seeing them being enjoyed by overseas visitors.
We aim to make the whole holiday process an enjoyable one, from initial planning to photo-sharing.
What inspired you to start your own business?
After many years working for internet-based tourism companies that focussed on South America, I wanted to provide a user-friendly platform for a number of destinations that seemed criminally overlooked ... but with an understanding of the needs and tastes of the Western traveller.
