Aspiring Adventures

What places and activities do you specialize in?

"I feel very comfortable designing tours all over Peru; I have the advantage of living in Cusco which gives me a lot of knowledge about Machu Picchu, Sacred Valley, Pisac, Calca, Urubamba, and the jungle including both Manu and Tambopata."

How did you get involved in travel?

"Since I was a child I used to travel a lot with my parents, I was fascinated to be in other places and I was excited to be at the beach, then in the jungle, I was fascinated with the landscapes, I enjoyed talking with the local people and making new friends, then I discovered that I could study tourism and that's exactly what I did, I finished the career and started working; since then some time has passed, I am lucky to do something that I really like."

Please share a unique travel experience you will never forget.

"Once I had the opportunity to make a travel plan for a group of students that came to Cusco to do traditional tours and also a social project, was so fascinating to work with a community on the hights Sacred Valley and also help them.

We planted trees and made a greenhouse, also the group of students had an interaction with the kids playing soccer and other things.

That was an unforgettable experience!!"

Knowledgeable, flexible, fun, kind--all of the things that help make a trip comfortable and safe and delightful, they provided us with.

Patty and her team at Aspiring Adventures in Peru took care of every detail for our 9-day journey. From airport transportation to our guide/driver team of Aldo and Paul (a.k.a Paul-do), we were shown the incredible history of the Inca civilization through hiking, climbing, and food. Aldo encouraged us to keep climbing to the very top of Waynupicchu, and we're so glad that we did. What an amazing accomplishment and view!

Our family recently returned from the most memorable journey in Peru. Katy spent many months planning a trip that was exactly what we hoped for - very active and very informative! Our guide, Aldo Sanchez, was a wealth a knowledge on all things Inca and Peru related. His English was perfect and we thoroughly enjoyed his company. The first five nights we stayed in local accommodations along the way and each stay provided deeper insight into Peruvian culture. In addition to the wonderous hikes of Macchu Picchu, Huayana Picchu, Huchuy Qosqo, and a snowy Rainbow Mountain, we enjoyed paddle boarding with David on Lake Piuray, experiencing Lamay with Franco, Marta, and Matthew and climbing through the endless Inca and pre-Inca ruins. We will remember this incredible adventure forever! Thank you to the amazing team at KimKim for your attention to every detail and exceeding all expectations!

Hotel Review
Llipimpac Guesthouse
Cusco

Llipimpac Guesthouse is situated in the heart of Cusco, a perfect spot for taking in this beautiful city. The staff was overly accommodating and the rooms were spacious and well-equipped. The courtyard and breakfast rooms were very charming, and a made-to-order breakfast was served on beautiful Peruvian pottery. Great location and exceptional staff.
