Launched in January 2024, Yapa Explorers was founded by a team of local Machu Picchu experts. We spent years guiding, driving, and trekking the routes to Machu Picchu. We watched too many travelers leave Peru with average experiences from operators chasing volume, and we set out to build something different. A company where service, honesty, and local roots came first.

We didn’t (and still don’t) have a massive marketing budget or links to international magazines and TV shows. But what we do have is a deep commitment to delivering personalized service where you, the traveler, are always our top priority.

We hit the ground running…word of mouth – the greatest marketing tool of all – quickly kicked in, and we began welcoming a steady stream of adventurous travelers. Inspired by your feedback and energized by your stories, we are more determined than ever to make your Machu Picchu dreams come true.

As the fastest-growing Machu Picchu operator in 2025, we are proud to disrupt the industry by offering superior value and authentic experiences.
