About Apullay
The people behind your trip.
Apullay Tours is a small, licensed team based in Miraflores, Lima. The same people who plan your journey are the ones who guide it and answer when you write — before, during and after you travel.

Our story
It started on the road.
Long before there was a company, there were guides. Since 2013 our founders have been leading travelers across Peru — from the plazas of Lima to the Sacred Valley, Arequipa’s white stone and the rivers of the Amazon.
Years of early starts, changed plans and quiet problem-solving taught them what a good trip really needs: someone local who answers, who knows the distances, the altitudes and the opening hours, and who treats each traveler as a guest rather than a booking.
In 2023 they turned that experience into Apullay Tours, a licensed operator with an office in Miraflores, Lima. We stayed small on purpose — so the same team plans your journey, runs it, and stays reachable on one WhatsApp number the whole way.
