Peru

Peru is one of the world’s most varied countries. It’s a multicultural nation, filled with traditions, unique gastronomy, and vast nature reserves and is home to 12 UNESCO World Heritage Sites and 84 of the planet’s 117 life zones. The country is situated in the western part of South America and shares borders with Ecuador, Colombia, Brazil, Bolivia, and Chile. It’s an enormous territory covering more than 1.2 million square kilometres, and it’s composed of three regions: Coast, Highlands, and Jungle. Its current population exceeds 31.5 million inhabitants.

Thanks to a long history defined by major ancient civilizations, Peru is home to more than 5000 archaeological sites. Many of these remain shrouded in mystery but are still capable of transporting visitors to the periods when such societies flourished. For example, a visit to Machu Picchu reveals the perfection of the Inca empire; this sacred city can be reached on board the luxurious trains that run through imposing mountain scenery dotted with colourful Andean villages.
Peru is synonymous with natural beauty, and it is one of the world’s ten most biologically diverse countries. With more than 200 protected natural areas, Peru has created 14 national parks, 15 national reserves, 9 national sanctuaries and 11 reserved zones. It is home to more than 1800 species of birds and 10% of all the reptile, mammal and fish species that exist on Earth. It also has 3500 varieties of orchids.

Peru is a paradise for adventure enthusiasts, offering a range of outdoor sporting activities for the curious, beginners, amateurs, and experts, including trekking, climbing, mountain biking, surfing, paragliding, and hang gliding, camping, canoeing, and kayaking. These are just some of the most popular activities that form part of the host of possibilities offered by the varied geography of the country.

Enrique Quiñones

CEO

I come from a family of travellers. My parents founded VIPAC 45 years ago and it was their first entrepreneurship in tourism. I remember my first trip to Cusco when I was 5 years old. We liked to travel around Peru visiting other cities during our holiday season. I enjoy travelling around my country and other countries in the world, being closer to people is the best way to know their culture.

I started working at VIPAC as a tour conductor and driver, and in those moments, I shared experiences with travellers that came to Peru from all over the world. These times were very enriching and filled me with experience and confidence. After that, I realised that I want to venture into business tourism and decided to study Business Administration at the University of Lima to deepen my knowledge. I then started managing the business in 1998 with my brother Javier and we became VIPAC Travel, one of the leading tourism companies in Peru. For many years we have been awarded “The Best Tour Operator in Cusco”. We have a great team of professionals and our journey consists of continuous learning.

Mariela Jara

Europe Sales Manager

I’ve been in the travel industry for over 20 years with experience in different areas. I started working for hotels in their leisure department planning trips for special guests. I then moved on to develop more experience working with Incoming Tourism. I have been working at VIPAC for about 18 years focusing on the Latin American market since the beginning and today I specialise in the European Market (UK, Italy, France, Spain, and Portugal).

Since my childhood, I have travelled with my family across my country on long road trips (for me the best way to see, taste and feel a country). This is where my passion for travelling came from. I love to hike, and Peru is a paradise for people that love combining mountains and nature. In my spare time I love to travel either to the beach in the north to enjoy its incredible gastronomy, or inside the mountains to connect with the Apus and feel their immensity. I love gastronomy too and tasting new flavours. Each trip either inside Peru, or abroad, enriches me and shows me that we are constantly in learning mode.

What I love most about my job is creating memorable experiences and showing our clients the wonders of my country. The memories you never forget are the ones you feel in your soul.
