Meet the team behind Yapa Explorers that makes discovering the unforgettable Inca Citadel possible.
Frustrated by overpriced tours and the lack of authentic experiences, our founder Tifany decided to create something different. Drawing on local expertise and a passion for Peru’s rich culture, Yapa Explorers was born to offer travelers an unforgettable journey to Machu Picchu.
It’s simple: we focus do not only on the end point but on also creating an incredible journey to Machu Picchu. It’s a once-in-a-lifetime in where every step of the journey is meaningful, from learning about the Inca history to discovering hidden trails and breathtaking views often overlooked by others. With Yapa, you don’t just visit Machu Picchu—you experience it.
We’ve been able to proudly help visitors from Peru and around the world discover Machu Picchu through sustainable tours and treks. Adventures that have positively impacted local communities and helped Cusco’s enviroment stay safe. Always focused on the experience thanks to the profesionalism and knowledge of our tour guides, top-quality equipment and safety measures, it’s safe to say that you will truly enjoy Machu Picchu with us, just like we did the first time we went.
We find great satisfaction in the dedication and love that each of our local team members have towards helping visitors have an unforgettable trip. All members are fully trained and experienced in their respective areas, apart from having qualities you can’t teach like being friendly, caring, and proactive. All their knowledge and tools at hand help us give you the best experience before, during, and after your trip.
We work hard to build a sustainable company that supports a large number of Peruvian talents who provide a high-quality service to all our passengers. One which creates awareness and admiration in our visitors of the legacy and heritage of Inca history.
We are also fully determined and focused, through our cost-effective service, to help local communities and women to empower themselves and grow, by having educational and employment opportunities.
Since day 1, we’ve focused on helping Cusco’s tourism, communities and lands through sustainable travel. One way we make this possible is by hiring local guides and porters that know the area like no one else, who make sure the travelers learn all about the destinations whilst having a trip of a lifetime. This way we give a fair pay to the community members for their excellente work.
Apart from this, one of our main focuses is to cause as little impact on Earth as possible. That is why we make sure that our equipment and stay in each destination is enviromentally friendly.
