Our Story:
In 2013, while traveling to Peru, Cachi’s founders embraced the need to fill the increasing gap in destination travel – a disconnect with the local people by travel companies. They forgot to take care of the native people that serve the travelers with rich history and guidance. With the local Quechua people at the forefront, Cachi set out to change how travelers experience Peru and give back to the local communities. When you travel with Cachi, you are paying fair wages, empowering locals, and helping communities grow. This is living a full Cachi Life.

Our Mission:
We provide travelers with unique, passionate, experiences through travel that encompass the desires, traditions, and cultures in which our customers travel.
