Our Journey
From a small office in Cusco
to a team connecting Peru with the world
2010
The Beginning
Peru Grand Travel was born in Cusco from the entrepreneurial vision of its founder, Clever Ponce.
2010–2012
Building the Foundations
Two years were dedicated to developing supplier relationships, building networks, investing in marketing, and gaining deeper knowledge of tourism operations.
2012
Official Operations
PGT officially began operations. Some of our first travelers came from the United States to experience Machu Picchu and the Short Inca Trail.
2014
A Growing Team
What began as a small operation evolved into a growing organization with a team of approximately five to seven people.
Today
The Story Continues
PGT continues evolving with stronger processes, specialized people, technology, and a long-term vision while preserving the purpose and values that guide the company.

Culture
Preserving local identity
We encourage respectful interactions that value local traditions, knowledge, identity, and the people who keep Peru’s culture alive.

Growing together with
local communities
Tourism becomes more meaningful when it creates opportunities for the people who are part of each destination.
Over the years, PGT has participated in environmental and community initiatives, including clean-up activities and experiences developed alongside communities such as Umasbamba, Cusco.
Our operations also seek to include local guides, artisans, families, suppliers, and entrepreneurs, helping create a more direct connection between travelers and the places they visit.
Since 2026
Asociación IKIMEI
