Founded by Julio C. Tello on September 4th, 2007, the Karikuy Organization was created with the vision of bringing people from all walks of life together to experience Peru like few have.
From remote paradises to hidden metropolitan hot spots, Karikuy takes you to the center of one of the most colorful cultures on earth with the aim of broadening your perspective of the world through social and traditional tourism.
Peru has seen a boom in its tourism industry since the start of the millennium, however most current tour companies are taking advantage of this growth and shuttling tourists through the country in assembly line fashion, profits drive these international companies, not the end result of your experiences in Peru.
With Karikuy you will meet the people who call Peru home, sharing a more personal experience with the culture surrounding you. Our aim as a travel company is for you to leave the country with a new found appreciation for Peruvian culture and its people.
At Karikuy we love to save our clients hard earned money, Our tours are special excursions with some of the best guides in the field at very good prices. Our profits go straight to our volunteer and humanitarian programs and the ultimate goal of improving the social conditions within Peru. Our prices let our guest spend on the people who need it most in Peru.
Because whether you purchase a hand made belt or a piece of Inca jewelry, you will be directly supporting the local community and artisans through your purchases. So if your looking to make Peru your next travel destination consider Karikuy as your hosts and get more out of your vacation, with us you'll experience how to live what the Incas called Karikuy.
