About Us
Discover Peru Through the Eyes of Local Experts
At Andean Diaries, we believe that the most memorable journeys are not just about visiting places—they are about connecting with people, culture, wildlife, and extraordinary landscapes.
Founded by Emperatriz Ayala, a tourism professional born in Cusco and raised in the Peruvian Amazon, Andean Diaries was created to offer authentic, personalized, and meaningful travel experiences throughout Peru.
With more than 20 years of experience in the tourism industry, Emperatriz has guided travelers from the United States, Australia, the United Kingdom, Germany, Switzerland, Denmark, and many other countries through Peru’s most remarkable destinations. Her deep knowledge of the Andes and the Amazon allows travelers to experience Peru beyond the traditional tourist routes.
From the legendary citadel of Machu Picchu and the Sacred Valley of the Incas to the wildlife-rich Amazon Rainforest of Tambopata, every itinerary is carefully designed to reflect each traveler’s interests, pace, and travel style.
We specialize in tailor-made journeys, small group adventures, wildlife expeditions, family vacations, cultural experiences, and luxury travel throughout Peru.
At Andean Diaries, we don’t simply organize trips—we create experiences that inspire, educate, and leave lasting memories.
