Lisa Colleen Carter

I have a profound connection to Peru and its people, having lived there for seven years. My passion is helping curious, thoughtful travelers like you move beyond the checklist to explore the heart and soul of this extraordinary place. With fluent Spanish and hyper-local insight, I can design a cultural tour to Peru that introduces you to little-known insights and the rhythms of daily life.

I specialize in crafting personalized Peru journeys to all three of Peru’s ecosystems: Pacific coast, Andes highlands, and Amazon jungle. I bring not just knowledge but experience in every one of these regions, from north to south and east to west. The climate, food, ancient civilizations, and enduring local customs are distinct in each, offering entirely new experiences.

Whether you dream of a private Machu Picchu tour with an expert guide or a custom Peru itinerary for cultural immersion, I can make it happen. Together, we can ensure you explore what you most desire: iconic ruins like Machu Picchu or lesser-visited ones like Kuelap, fly over the Nazca lines or sandboard in Ica, navigate down the Amazon River or one of its tributaries. I can design a transformative journey to Peru that is sure to stay in your heart and memories forever.

I also personally lead high-end private guided tours and small group trips to Peru, sharing my joy, insight, and excitement with you, live, each day.

Whether your preferred travel style is fully independent or escorted, I handle every detail, providing thoughtful care so your trip to Peru is seamless, enriching, and truly life-changing. As my client Raymond shared, “[Lisa’s] attention to detail is phenomenal and we could relax knowing she’d done all the hard work for us.” 

I’m a close listener and design deeply personal trips to Peru that suit your wishes and needs. Whether you want to eat at one of the top restaurants in the world, take a less-travelled route to suit your physical abilities, or pop into a public dance on a town’s festival day, I’ve been there, done that.
