About Us

Yampu Tours, 2010 and 2011 winner of the World Travel Awards for Leading Tour Operator to South America, specializes in customized itineraries to Latin America, Africa, India and Asia. Yampu was created by a Peruvian man and an American woman who, after exploring Latin America together, decided to share their passion for traveling with the rest of the world. Whether your interests are in historical cultures, sightseeing, wildlife safaris, luxury travel, or adventure, Yampu will build a personalized itinerary for the trip of a lifetime.
