Our Values
Ethics
More than titles, what matters to us in the selection of our partners and collaborators is their behavior and their moral aspect.
Paid above the average local salary, our partners and collaborators are selected above all for their honesty, their human character, their integrity, their tolerance and their ability to show empathy when the situation requires it.
Respect
Key point of our organization, respect is at the heart of all our decisions. Respect within our team, first and foremost, but also for the people who make up Peru’s DNA, its cultures, its identities and its traditions that we try to highlight throughout our experiences.
Respect for the environment as well, with products always thought and focused on the same objective: to develop a new model that allows us to discover our planet, preserving it and/or regenerating it for the good of future generations.
Social Commitment
More than just a travel agency, we believe it is important that our daily work participates and helps the local development of the country. Focused on the cities of Cusco and Lima and their surroundings, our activities aim to promote regional attractions and highlight local actors above all.
In addition to the simple economic aspect, it seems fundamental to us that our territorial commitment also extends to the cultural and social sphere. That is why the price of our services includes a “solidarity percentage” calculated on the total amount you pay, which we use every year to support various social actions and humanitarian and environmental projects.
Our team
Our team, comprised of elite professionals with a deep passion for Peru, is dedicated to designing tailor-made experiences that go beyond the typical itinerary. We understand the importance of in-depth business knowledge of each market and the ability to develop memorable experiences for travelers. However, what truly sets us apart is our unwavering love for our destinations and the eternal curiosity to rediscover them, immersing ourselves in the flavors, aromas, melodies and emotions that only Peru can offer.
At Escápate, we don’t just want you to travel with us; we want you to live with us. Our tours are designed to allow you to fully immerse yourself in Peruvian culture, giving you the opportunity to experience the regions you are traveling through in a way you have never imagined before. Our experience and in-depth knowledge of the destinations we offer allow us to customize each trip to the specific desires of our clients, taking them to pristine locations and offering unique and unforgettable adventures in contact with the local population.
