We Turn Dreams into Unforgettable Journeys
Highlanding was born from the bonds forged on every journey, the friendships built along the way, and the lasting mark left by sharing our land with those who visit it. For over a decade as a guide, I had the privilege of meeting travelers from all over the world—people with whom we not only explored landscapes but also created memories and friendships that still endure. Many of them remain in touch, fondly remembering their stay and recommending the experience to their friends and family.
That trust and affection were the inspiration to take a step further and establish ourselves as an independent agency. At Highlanding, we want to honor those friendships and keep that spirit of closeness alive by offering authentic, sustainable, and deeply human travel experiences.
Our motto, “Travel in Friendship,” is born from that very essence. More than just organizing trips, we strive to create genuine connections between travelers and local communities, fostering a cultural exchange that enriches everyone involved. We honor our traditions, the Quechua language, and the natural environment, ensuring that each experience is not only unforgettable but also a way to preserve our heritage.
At Highlanding, each journey is a reunion with friendship, a shared story that transcends time, and an invitation to discover Peru with an open heart.
