Our Mission

My name is Marcus Whaley, founder of Venture Peru. I have traveled nearly all of Peru and spent a lot of time there over the last 6 years. I graduated from Florida State University with a degree in Social Science and a minor in anthropology. As a kid I dreamed of being an archeologist and studying the ancient cultures and ruins of the world. I always had a passion for South America especially Machu Picchu and the Amazon. After college I got an opportunity to backpack throughout South America and fell in love with Peru. Although, I never became an archeologist, I now get to share with others the culture and beautiful landscapes of Peru.

We here at Venture Peru, strive to provide all our clients with an amazing and affordable trip to the country we love so much, Peru.

- Raymond, Norma, and Pete Salis (Tallahassee, FL)

Our family had the adventure of a lifetime. We visited Lima, Cuzco, the Sacred Valley, and Machu Picchu. The culture and landscape in Peru is breathtaking. We loved the hotels and great food Marcus arranged for us on the trip. He catered to all our needs. We could not have taken this trip without his services, he was an excellent guide. We can't wait to go back to Peru to see the Amazon Jungle. Without a doubt we will be booking our trip with Venture Peru again. Thank you so much!
