About Peru Adventure Tours
A government-licensed tour operator with over two decades of experience sharing Peru's wonders with travelers from around the world.
Our Story
Peru Adventure Tours was founded in 2004 by Saul Ceron Carrasco, who has been professionally guiding travelers through the wonders of South America since 1996. What began as a passion for sharing Peru's extraordinary landscapes and ancient cultures has grown into one of the most respected tour operations in southern Peru.
Today, Peru Adventure Tours is a well-established quality tour company based in Arequipa, Peru's stunning White City. From here, we organize and operate tours throughout Peru, as well as in Bolivia, Chile, Ecuador, Argentina, Colombia, and Brazil.
Our deep local knowledge, combined with over two decades of experience, allows us to offer authentic, safe, and memorable travel experiences that go far beyond the ordinary. We know the hidden trails, the best local restaurants, the most welcoming communities, and the secret viewpoints that most visitors never discover.
Meet the Founder
Saul Ceron Carrasco has dedicated his life to sharing the beauty of Peru with the world. Born and raised in the Arequipa region, Saul's intimate knowledge of the land, its people, and its history is unmatched.
Starting as a professional guide in 1996, he spent years leading expeditions through the Colca Canyon, the Andes, and the Amazon before founding Peru Adventure Tours in 2004. His commitment to quality, safety, and authentic experiences has earned recognition from Lonely Planet, Footprint Guides, and thousands of satisfied travelers.

Our Values & Team
At Peru Adventure Tours, we believe that responsible tourism starts with how you treat the people who make it possible. All of our employees — guides, drivers, cooks, porters, and office staff — are paid professional, fair wages that reflect the quality of their work and dedication.
We do not practice or condone any form of labor exploitation. Every member of our team is formally registered with the appropriate government authorities and receives all benefits required by Peruvian labor law, including health insurance and social security.
Our guides are experienced, knowledgeable professionals who are passionate about their country. Many have grown up in the regions they guide, offering an authentic perspective on the history, culture, and ecology that no guidebook can provide.

Responsible Tourism
Supporting local communities
Peru Adventure Tours recognizes that its operation runs through an environment, a culture and communities that are fragile and sensitive to being impacted.
Organizing trips to the most spectacular remote areas of southern Peru gives us the chance to show this country with pride — but basically implies the high responsibility of being culturally sensitive and minimizing the negative impacts on the environment.
Responsible Tourism is a key point in our corporate philosophy. We have developed a Responsible Tourism Policy which we respect as much as possible. Our teams have been trained and are aware of its importance to our culture and environment — an attitude you will perceive whenever you travel with us.
Responsible Tourism is about providing a sustained commitment to communities and environment, to ensure we have a lasting positive effect. It is about “giving something back”.
