Our essence

We believe travelling is much more than seeing a destination. It is discovering its history, understanding its culture and getting closer to the people and traditions that give it its identity. From our Cusco roots and our experience as local operators, we set out to create authentic experiences that combine that authenticity with the comfort, planning and care every journey deserves. Because it is often the small details that turn a trip into a lifelong memory.

Our story

Sakura Expedition was born in Cusco in 2014, founded by Nelly Ccolqque out of a vision built on her training, her experience and her deep knowledge of Peru's tourism geography and of what travellers need. From the very beginning, the company took on the challenge of proving that discovering Peru through more genuine experiences does not mean giving up comfort or quality of service.

Over the years, that vision has become Sakura's path: creating carefully planned experiences, bringing travellers closer to destinations from a local perspective, and taking on new challenges in order to keep delivering quality services, growing together with the land that inspires each journey.

The Sakura difference

Every journey begins long before you reach the destination. Live unforgettable moments with Sakura Expedition.

+12 years of experience

More than a decade operating and refining travel experiences. That track record lets us look after every stage of the journey and anticipate what each traveller needs.

Tailor-made journeys

Every journey is organised in small groups, with private alternatives available, so that each trip is more comfortable and exclusive.

Closer to Andean culture

Our relationship with local communities allows us to bring every traveller closer to the traditions that give identity to the destinations we visit.

Local knowledge

Our team knows the territory from experience: its trails, its attractions, its traditions and its particularities. That is what allows us to deliver a better service at every stage of the journey.

Our travel philosophy

For us, travelling also carries a responsibility. Every destination has a history, a culture and a heritage that deserve to be known and respected. That is why we want each experience to be a mindful approach to the territory, valuing what makes it unique and contributing, through our work, to its preservation.

We want our travellers to return home not only with photographs, but with a closer understanding of the places, the people and the stories they found along the way.

The people behind Sakura

Behind every journey there is a team that knows the destination and takes care of every detail. Our professionals combine local experience with close, personal attention, accompanying you from your first enquiry to the last moment of your trip. We are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, to give you the support you need before, during and after your journey. Passionate about our work and proud to call Cusco home, we do not just put itineraries together: we design the way you will discover and live every destination.
