We Are Puttutu Expediciones
It's Time to Travel, Discover and Connect
We are a travel agency with an explorer's soul and an ancestral spirit. We design one-of-a-kind experiences in Peru for people who want more than tourism: a deep connection with living history, indigenous art, the music that still echoes in the mountains and the festivals that honor the memory of its peoples.
We step away from the conventional routes to invite you to discover the unknown: hidden paths through the Andes, communities that keep age-old knowledge alive, rituals that speak with the elements and landscapes that awaken the sacred with every step.
Every journey we offer is a transformative experience, a doorway to the authentic. Our approach rests on respect for local culture, sustainability and a real encounter with the roots of deep Peru.
“If you feel the call of the invisible, if you travel to remember what is essential, then this path is for you.”
