In their words

What ASPEM wrote to us

“Allow us to congratulate you on this recognition, which simply acknowledges your hard work and sacrifice. We are sure that this distinction will motivate your work even more, and that it will make you an excellent example of success and leadership.”

Letter of recognition from ASPEM

Raquel’s acceptance speech

“Good evening, distinguished guests. I want to thank the Association of Entrepreneurs of Peru for this recognition of my company. Terra Quechua Peru provides tourism services to Peruvian and international travelers, always putting quality and our commitment to society first.”

“Twelve years ago I decided to leave the refuge of my fears and discover my gifts and talents. I woke up my passion and went after a dream that refused to die. It was not easy then, and it is not easy today, but if someone asked me how I did it, I could only answer with three words: faith in God.”

“To my husband, who opened my eyes and believed in me from the beginning. And to each one of my team, whose commitment and support make this a different company. One family. One heart.”

“In this company we help each other. We make the impossible possible, and we share triumphs and setbacks. We are loyal and authentic, but above all we are proud guardians of Andean culture and traditions.”

    Amazing Salkantay Trek with the Best Guide.

    Our 5 day Salkantay Trek with Terra Quechua Peru was an absolutely incredible experience from start to finish. The scenery, the challenge, the food, and finally arriving at Machu Picchu made this a trip I’ll never forget…
