Peru Travel Agent Professional

Land of the wondrous Inca civilization and home to both one of the world's most iconic wonders and the world's highest lake, Peru dazzles with it's combination of history, natural wonders, and culture.  As a travel agent with personal experience traveling throughout the country, I am ready to bring your Peruvian dreams to life.


Starting with the most widely recognized landmark of Peru, I can't wait to help you plan your trip to see Machu PIcchu, the awe inspiring Inca Citadel from the 15th century. Whether you are hiking like the Inca or prefer a leisurely, sight filled train ride, this glorious world wonder stands ready to wow you. I'm able to plan your visit according to the parameters you choose. Looking to do a multi day Inca trail trek? Thinking of trading that for a panorama train from Cusco? I'll also tell you about the citadel launchpad of Machu Picchu Pueblo (formerly Aguas Calientes) to help you decide between a short stay in this unique town in the mountains, or a day trip from a neighboring city- such as Cusco or Ollantaytambo. And no Machu PIcchu trip is complete without a little further exploration of the Sacred Valley, full of sights and history that offer something special for every traveler. As your travel advisor, I will make sure you experience this magical part of Peru in the style that matches your travel vision.


Though Machu Picchu and the Sacred Valley may be on just about every Peru traveler's wishlist, it is only one of the remarkable options in this diverse country. One of my personal favorite towns in Peru in Cusco, a high altitude town of hilly cobblestone streets, local artisans, and historical landmarks. Once the Incan capital, Cusco continues to be a busting town high in the Andes mountains and remains true to it's Incan culture. The Andes mountains provide a city topography and backdrop unlike  any other city in the world.


For the adventurous and altitude capable traveler, yet another natural wonder was discovered in Peru just a few years ago. In 2015, snow caps melted on a remote mountain line in the Peruvian Andes, revealing a colorful work of art created by mineral accrual on Vinicunca Mountain. The site is often referred to as "Rainbow Mountain", existing as one of only a handful rainbow mountain ranges in the world. This breathtaking beauty is reached through a 6 mile high altitude but low incline hike that should always be done with a licensed tour provider. Reaching the top of this hike was one of the most fulfilling highlights of my Peru experience. I've highlighted photos of this experience below and am excited to help you experience this extremely rare geological phenomenon!


From the mountains and valleys to rivers and lakes, Lake Titicaca is a freshwater lake in the Peruvian Andes. Near the border of Bolivia, Lake Titicaca is often called the "highest navigable lake" in the world. By volume of water and by surface area, it is the largest lake in South America. As your travel agent, I am able to arrange tours that will show the best of this ecological and aquatic wonder. 


Though it may be the ancient and rural landmarks that intrigue travelers to visit Peru, as your travel agent I will also encourage to make a stop in beautiful Lima, a booming metropolis and Peru's modern capital city. From the posh waterfront neighborhood of Miraflores to the hip, street art driven neighborhood of Barranco, I will help you in plan a few magical days in this artsy and diverse city.


Is Peru on your travel wishlist? Do any of this amazing sites sound like your next adventure in the making? Please reach out, I look forward to helping you plan your dream Peruvian experience!

Second to None
Lisa was the consummate travel agent to assist with my bookings for my once in a lifetime trip abroad to Africa. Professional, responsive, and she went the extra mile to tend to our needs and find out what we were looking for. While we were in Tanzania, we had the full experience we asked for- spending our time between authentic local experiences in villages and seeing the animals in Serengeti National Park, to a relaxing in a cost effective and beautiful resort in Zanzibar. The best of both worlds!

The travel whisperer
I have done multiple trips with Lisa, both inside and outside the US, including Miami, Montreal, and Iceland. She has an unfailing knack for finding the most authentic experiences (and the best flight/lodging deals). She has a talent for sniffing out those great but off-the-beaten track neighborhoods, restaurants, and activities. Her genuine love of travel, culture, and adventure means that she wants you to have the trip of your dreams every time, and she will work tirelessly to make sure of it.

Amazing Nicaragua Adventure!
Lisa planned a trip to Nicaragua for me and a small group of friends over the New Year’s holiday. She is incredible at finding experiences that are off the beaten path and not the tourist traps that everyone else goes to. She designed an itinerary that was based on our specific group’s interests, and the entire trip went off without a hitch. I highly recommend Lisa if you are looking for someone who can provide professional travel planning and has the insight of a local!

Incredible experience all around!
Lisa is amazing and truly the best travel agent I have ever worked with!! She custom tailored our Iceland trip according to our preferences and gave great suggestions for our itinerary that we loved! Lisa planned an incredible trip and coordinated all of our activities with local tour operators - she is extremely organized and provided us with documentation of full daily activity details and tour vouchers well in advance of our trip. Lisa also went above and beyond while we were on the trip to make sure we were informed when there were updates to the tour schedules due to weather, and provided great options for rescheduling tours to fit our schedules! We honestly felt so taken care of before and during the trip and knew we could count on her if we had any questions or needs anytime. I highly recommend Lisa and will absolutely connect with her again for our next adventure!
