About Kada Travel

The Soul of the Andes, Curated for the Few.

Two decades shaping private journeys for travellers who measure luxury in time, silence and unfiltered access.

The People Behind

A Small House

Katherine Cjuiro

Founder & Travel Director

Born in Cusco, Katherine developed an early connection with the cultural and historical depth of the Andes—where pre-Columbian heritage and colonial legacy coexist in quiet complexity. This dual perspective continues to shape her vision of travel today.

With a professional background in high-end tourism and a clear understanding of international luxury standards, Katherine founded KADA TRAVEL as a response to a simple idea: Peru deserves to be experienced with precision, context, and discretion.

Rather than following traditional tourism models, she leads the company as a boutique atelier—personally overseeing the philosophy behind each journey, ensuring that every experience reflects authenticity, refined execution, and a deep respect for place.

Daniel Ramos

Head of Bespoke Journeys

With a background in luxury hospitality and personalized travel design, Daniel approaches each journey as a carefully constructed balance between logistics and intuition.

He understands that true luxury lies not in excess, but in how seamlessly an experience unfolds. From private access to remote landscapes to well-timed cultural encounters, every element is designed with clarity and purpose.

At KADA TRAVEL, Daniel leads the development of bespoke itineraries—translating each client’s expectations into journeys that feel natural, well-paced, and quietly exceptional.

Elizabeth Garcia

Senior Travel Designer

With a strong foundation in on-the-ground travel design, Elizabeth brings a precise and intuitive approach to crafting journeys across Peru. She understands that exceptional travel is defined by timing, balance, and attention to detail.

From the Sacred Valley to more remote regions, she carefully curates each element of the experience—selecting the right guides, accommodations, and pacing to ensure every journey feels seamless and well-considered.

Elizabeth approaches travel design with a focus on clarity and authenticity, creating experiences that are both refined and deeply connected to place.

Isabela Santos

Senior Travel Designer

Detail-oriented and thoughtful in execution, Isabela specializes in shaping journeys that feel natural, immersive, and effortless.

With direct knowledge of Peru’s diverse landscapes and travel dynamics, she focuses on building itineraries that flow with ease—where each moment has purpose and every transition feels intentional.

At KADA TRAVEL, Isabela plays a key role in translating ideas into tangible experiences, ensuring that each journey reflects both the expectations of the traveler and the essence of the destination.

Gustavo Arenas

Guest Relations

Calm, attentive, and highly organized, Gustavo ensures that every journey is executed exactly as designed.

With experience in guest service and international travelers, he understands the importance of clarity, responsiveness, and discretion at every stage of the trip.

Acting as the bridge between planning and real-time experience, Gustavo accompanies each guest journey behind the scenes—ensuring continuity, resolving details efficiently, and maintaining the level of service that defines KADA TRAVEL.

Jaime Ttito

Head of Guides & Cultural Interpreter

Born in the shadow of the mountains that surround Cusco, Jaime Ttito has spent over fifteen years leading private expeditions through the Sacred Valley, the Inca Trail, and the high-altitude communities of the Andes. A certified bilingual guide and native Quechua speaker, he does not simply show you places — he translates a civilization. His knowledge of Andean cosmology, agricultural terraces, and living indigenous traditions transforms every walk into something closer to a conversation with the past. Under Jaime's leadership, every Kada guide is trained not just in logistics, but in the art of genuine encounter.

Our Manifesto

Travel as a Quiet Discipline

We don't believe in checking boxes; we believe in catching breath. Kada Travel was born from the conviction that luxury isn't about gold-plated faucets, but about the luxury of time, silence, and unparalleled access.

For more than twenty years we have walked alongside the keepers of Peru's hidden histories — the weavers of the Sacred Valley, the shamans of the cloud forest, the chefs reimagining ancestral cuisine. Our work is to translate those friendships into journeys that feel less like an itinerary and more like an inheritance.

We craft fewer trips than our peers, on purpose. Each one receives the patient attention of a small team that has lived this country long enough to know which doors only open after a quiet conversation.

Unfiltered Access

Doors that don't appear in any catalogue: private dinners inside colonial estates, dawn ceremonies at archaeological sites closed to the public, conversations with custodians who rarely receive visitors.

Bespoke Rhythm

No two journeys share a tempo. We design around your pulse — the long lunches you want to linger over, the mornings you want to disappear into the silence of an Andean village.

Local Custodians

Every guide, chef and host on our network is a long-time collaborator — chosen for their knowledge, their discretion, and the way they belong to the places they share.

Our Legacy

A House Built Slowly, on Trust.

Kada Travel began as a single notebook of phone numbers — friends, growers, weavers, archaeologists — and the conviction that the best of Peru lived in the spaces between guidebooks. Two decades later, that notebook has become a quiet institution, but the principle has not moved: every journey is the result of a relationship, not a transaction.

“We don't sell destinations, we safeguard your time.”

What our travellers say

★★★★★

“Nothing prepared us for the Amazon. Kada Travel's family programme was perfectly calibrated — adventurous enough for the adults, magical for the children. Our daughter still talks about the night walk”

Catherine & Robert M · Amazon

★★★★★

“The level of access arranged was simply not possible to replicate independently. A private trail, ruins that most people never see, and a camp that felt like the edge of the known world.”
