ABOUT US
When we think about why we do what we do, the acronym LEAP comes to mind:
• Learning • Enrichment • Appreciation • Perspective
Like many business owners, Allpa Adventures began from a love of passion: Giovanna’s teaching. Many moons ago, when a large family event took place in Peru, Giovanna put together a personal guidebook so everyone attending would be at ease. It contained all the information they needed, from accommodations to maps of the area.
Two friends had such a great time they wanted to do another trip and asked Giovanna to be their guide. It started out as a group of six, but as more of friends heard about it, the number grew, and a total of fourteen people went on the excursion. After that, it became an annual trip.
Over the years, the excitement and stories of these trips spread and the business grew by word of mouth. Giovanna began creating trips based on what people wanted to do and the kinds of travelers they were. A few trips expanded to multiple ones, including student-chaperoned trips of 28 people.
Today, with the help of her brother Carlos, Allpa Adventures continues to create memorable travel experiences for all different kinds of travelers, from couples and families to small and large groups.

“Giovanna conceived, organized, and led both trips to Peru and Spain. Among my classmates and I–many of whom are still my closest friends–Giovanna fostered a sense of community and belonging. My memories of these trips are filled with laughter. It is partly due to Giovanna that I continued to study Spanish through college.”
