Cultural Immersion is a tour operator company based in Cusco, Peru. Since April, 2005 we have provided top quality travel services throughout Peru, including Machu Picchu, Cusco, Sacred Valley, Lake Titicaca, the Peruvian Amazon, Colca Canyon, Nazca, Arequipa, Lima and other main attractions.  We are much more than a travel company.  When you decide to travel with us, you will not only be visiting the fascinating destinations of our country but you will also help with the development of the poor villages of the Andes.  We are working in many development projects with the needy children in the department of Cusco, and a significant percentage of our margin goes to improve our development projects.   

Our main goal is to serve you, and exceed all your expectations. 
We specialize in small groups and private trips, which allow us to operate our itineraries in a very personalized way.  When you travel with us you will explore the real Peru going to places where other companies will not go.  At Cultural Immersion, we think that besides the archeological sites our clients want to know the real Peru which means:  its people, its language, its cuisine, its live culture, its traditions, its costumes and interacting  with the locals.  That is the reason why we include visits to markets, local corn breweries, local Andean houses, farms, etc. in our packages.

We also combine adventure, with comfort and safety.  Some of our travel packages include Peruvian Paso horseback riding, biking, hiking, rafting, swimming with sea lions, and jungle canopy walks.   All of these adventures are carefully selected having regard to all the safety details, so we can even highly recommend them to adults and children.  Another very interesting detail that sets us apart from the other companies is that we try to operate all our tours at different times to avoid big crowds of tourists, because we know you enjoy more of the popular sites when they are less crowded.

No hurries, no rushes.  We know you are on vacation and we want to make it as easy as possible for you.  During our tours you can take your time, relax, see the landscape and feel the magic of all the incredible sites that Peru has to offer you.  There is no reason to run from one place to the other without enjoying it.  We believe you did not come to see a place just to take a picture and then dash to the next site.  We organize our tours to allow you to spend more time, in the most important places than the other companies.  

We know what you expect from us and our work is to give you satisfaction.  It is the reason why we have chosen only high quality hotels, safe transportation, the best restaurants, top professional tour guides, and excellent coordinators for our packages. We know when you travel you are on vacation and we want you to be worry free.

More than a client, we consider you as one of our friends and we want to take care of you while you are visiting our country.  We will not sell you a tour package and then forget about you, we will be checking with you every day and giving you assistance 24 hours a day 365 days a year.  Even when you finish your vacation we will love to stay in touch with you and keep being good friends.
