The travel itinerary was fulfilling.

The estimated travel itinerary was satisfactory.
The arranged hotel was also good.
However, the planned meals did not quite suit my taste,
I thought it would be better to improve the meals. (The meal content was somewhat lacking compared to the cost.)

We were blessed with good weather, and it was great to have a satisfying trip.

I am just grateful to have found such a good travel agency.

To be honest, I was worried about what to do if it was a scam since it was my first time using it. Now that the trip is complete, I am just grateful to have found such a good travel agency.

This time, I had a very good experience and trip.
I regretted not choosing Aloft as Mr. Sasaki suggested for the first day's hotel!
All the guides were good people, so we could travel with peace of mind. My husband also says that we had experiences beyond what we wanted to achieve, making it a very satisfying trip. Thank you for your efforts regarding the cost as well. We appreciate your courteous response. If there is another opportunity, we would love to work with you again.

At first I was anxious,

At first, I was worried because it was mainly chat-based and had few reviews, but when I went, the guides were really good, and they took us to places that Japanese people rarely visit, which was great.
I was initially worried, but they alleviated those feelings, which was very helpful! Communication was quick, and it was truly reassuring!
thank you!

It was easy to ask questions

Since it was through chat, it was easy to ask questions casually, and they listened to various requests, which was helpful.
There were times when I wished the replies were a bit faster, but overall, they took our requests into account and made plans accordingly, and answered our questions, which was very helpful. Thank you!

I was saved by the quick response

The quick response a month in advance was very helpful. On the other hand, there were hotels and tours that were more expensive than requested, so I wished they had matched the tours to the price.
I was very satisfied because of the kind response.

    In my previous job at a major travel company, I took care of Japanese expatriates and companies in South America.
    With the cooperation of many people from the Japanese community, I learned the unique business customs of South America and realized how challenging the country was, which inspired me to start a business that could provide the speed, quality, and meticulous service demanded by Japanese people.
    With nearly 10 years of experience in the travel industry in Brazil, we aim to be the only local operator who can thoroughly propose and explain the often confusing local details of a place very far from Japan. We study daily to achieve this.

    Since childhood, I have been interested in other countries, and during my university days when I started earning money and even after entering society, I would think about where I wanted to go whenever I had free time. (I couldn't easily leave Japan because the money didn't follow, though...) There were times when I would only have a rough plan, clutching just a plane ticket, and set off alone from Narita.
    Currently, I am living in South America, something I never imagined. These days, I think, "You never know what life will bring."
    However, as I began living in Ecuador, I encountered Ecuador's wonderful tourism resources and crafts, and I wanted more people around the world to know about them, hoping it would contribute even a little to the country's development, so I knocked on the door of a local travel company.
    A place you think of as 'far away' on the other side of the world might feel much closer once you visit. Let's forget the everyday and share new encounters and experiences together. We await you on the other side of the world.

What kind of country is Peru?

Peru, rich in nature and history, is a very popular tourist destination visited by tourists from all over the world.
When you think of Peru, the first things that come to mind are Machu Picchu, ranked number one in the World Heritage rankings, and the Nazca Lines. However, there are also many other tourist attractions, such as the ancient city of Cusco located at an altitude of 3,400 meters and Lake Titicaca, a huge lake in Puno in southern Peru, making it impossible to see everything in one visit.
Additionally, the gourmet food using tomatoes, potatoes, corn, and chili peppers native to Peru (the Andes) is also excellent.

Cash, cards and currency exchange
In Peru, cash is the primary means of payment. While credit cards are accepted at some tourist spots, hotels, and restaurants, cash is generally required. Where credit cards are accepted, it is recommended to use them in combination with cash.
For currency exchange, it is advisable to obtain US dollars in Japan beforehand and exchange them for local currency upon arrival. However, since US dollars are generally accepted in Peru, it is a good idea to prepare small denomination bills for exchanging Japanese yen to local currency.
Tips
・There is a custom of giving tips.
・Restaurant: Depending on the rank and service received, 5-10% of the bill is customary.
・Taxi: Generally, there is no need to tip, but if you receive special service, it is good to tip.
・Hotel porter or room keeper: About 1 dollar.
・Hotel room service: A tip of about 15% of the bill is common, but if the service charge is already included, there is no need to tip.
Public Safety
・In Peru, police patrols are conducted regularly, and it can be said that Peru's security is stable compared to other countries. However, even though it is stable, the crime rate in Peru is higher than in Japan.
・Due to occurrences of robbery, murder, and drug trafficking, it cannot be said to be completely safe, so always prioritize your personal safety and be cautious, even in tourist areas.
Clothing
・In the rainy season in the capital Lima, there are many sunny days, and you can wear long-sleeved shirts. In high-altitude areas, it gets cold at night, so it's convenient to bring a jacket or sweater.
・During the dry season, due to the fog called Garúa, there are many cloudy days, so outerwear is essential.
Things you should bring with you
Stomach medicine, cold medicine, mobile battery, insect repellent items, sun protection items, etc.
Visa availability and arrangements
・For short stays of up to 90 days for tourism purposes, obtaining a visa is not necessary. For other conditions, obtaining a visa suitable for the purpose of travel is required.
Required vaccinations
・There are no mandatory requirements for travel. However, vaccinations for tetanus, hepatitis A, hepatitis B, rabies, and yellow fever are recommended.
