    Book today with Auri! Exceptional experience planned by Lizbeth and her team! Each detail was perfectly designed, coordinated and executed! We loved Rio Sagrada in the Sacred Valley and Casa Cartagena in Cuzco, although each lodge on our journey was unique and inspiring. Our tour guide for 6 days was Franco and he is by far the best tour guide we have experienced in our many travels around the world. He is knowledgable, patient, kind and pleasant company for all. We highly recommend Auri travel to you and to our friends and family in the USA. B&B

A special thank you to Lizbeth, whose support and dedication in organizing our trip made all the difference. She carefully coordinated every detail and ensured everything was seamless from start to finish. We would also like to recognize Abel, our exceptional tour guide.

    An amazing trip! We spent 2 weeks traveling through Peru with Auri, and the entire trip was flawlessly organized. We stayed at several Belmond properties, including Sanctuary Lodge and Palacio Nazarenas, and we really loved it. Franco was our guide for Cusco region — knowledgeable, punctual, and genuinely passionate about sharing Peru's history and culture. Lizbeth coordinated everything behind the scenes and everything went smoothly. The private service made a huge difference, our dedicated drivers, tour guides, transfers.... seamless logistics. Auri Perú Travel made it effortless from start to finish. Highly recommend for anyone wanting a well-run, high-end trip to Peru.

    Incredible solo trip I can't speak highly enough of the itinerary that was put together for me. Everything was incredible and well organized. The tours, food, hotels, and guides were all exceptional and I would definitely use this service again. As a solo traveler, I appreciated the check-ins to ensure I arrived everywhere safely. It ended up feeling like I had my own VIP experience.

    Highly recommended!!! We had an absolutely perfect experience with this tour agency for our trip to Machu Picchu. From the initial organization all the way through to the end of the trip, everything ran smoothly and was perfectly taken care of. Communication throughout the process was excellent, and our guide was always on time, which made everything stress-free. A special mention goes to Ibrahim, our guide, who was fantastic — he taught us so much about the Inca civilization and the history of Machu Picchu, making the whole experience even more meaningful. Highly recommended for anyone planning a trip to Machu Picchu!

    A Dream Trip Backed by an Amazing Team Our trip to Peru was planned and flawlessly managed by Lizbeth. From the very beginning, her attention to detail, prompt communication, and willingness to help exceeded every expectation. The itinerary was outstanding and allowed us to experience the very best of Peru. Unfortunately, our vacation was unexpectedly interrupted when I suffered a medical emergency that required an urgent evacuation from Machu Picchu. From that moment on, Lizbeth and her team were simply extraordinary. They immediately coordinated my medical care, arranged all necessary logistics, and ensured that Auri representatives stayed with us throughout the entire process. We never felt alone. Their professionalism, compassion, and constant support turned an overwhelming situation into one that was manageable. What impressed us most was that their commitment did not end when our trip was over. For weeks afterward, Lizbeth continued to assist us by gathering the documentation needed for my insurance claim and following up until the claim was successfully resolved. That level of dedication is incredibly rare. We hope to return to Peru one day, and when we do, there is no question that we will travel with Lizbeth and her team again. They don't just organize exceptional trips—they genuinely care about their clients and stand by them when it matters most. We recommend them without hesitation.

    Unforgettable experience! We are very happy with our experience with Auri travels! First of all, it was very nice to feel well taken care of: from the moment we landed in Perú to the moment we go to airport again, everything was sorted for us! This allowed us both to feel safe and to enjoy a stress-free trip! Plus, every day we took part in unforgettable tours with knowledgeable guides. Lizbeth was available all the time and flexible with us when we need anything. Also, she surprised us twice with some presents from the travel agency team. A trip of a lifetime that we will never forget 😍*
