About Us
MAP IT is a marketplace that connects travelers to unique experiences with local insiders in many locations in Peru. With us, you can find things to do in Cusco, Lima, Puno, and beyond, and book them online.
On every tour, you'll get a fun and local perspective of the city, from street food to street art, hidden gems and all the best local cultural spots. We help you connect with people in authentic ways, whether you are learning food traditions from a chef, rowing in the middle of Lake Titicaca, or creating your own ceramics with a craftsman from a local community.

Social Impact
Rural communities are our cultural ambassadors, who, through our experiences, share their traditions with the world. With MAP IT, travelers not only engage in authentic experiences but also contribute to preserve their culture and local traditions.
We support fair trade, by becoming a complementary source of income for the communities and hosts. By traveling with us, you are contributing directly to the local economy, improvement of quality of life, sustainable development, and job opportunities generation.
We work together with rural associations that promote travel activities and sustainable tourism in communities. Their goal is to develop them and reinvest a percentage of their incomes in training and improving livelihoods of locals.
We promote women empowerment and inclusion. 7 out of 10 MAP IT experiences are guided by women. We give them leadership roles in the tourism industry, while providing job and development opportunities.
Lastly, we care about our environment by adopting a recycling and green culture, and through experiences that promote sustainable tourism.
