📷 A Journey Designed for Curious Creators and Cultural Explorers
This is not just a tour—it’s a personal photo story unfolding across Peru’s most photogenic and culturally rich regions. From Lima’s vibrant coastlines and colonial streets to the surreal aerial mystery of the Nazca Lines, from the iconic ruins of Machu Picchu to remote Quechua communities in the Andes, and ending with wild encounters deep in the Amazon Rainforest—this expedition is the full Peruvian spectrum through the eyes of a traveler with purpose.
We blend intimate cultural access, breathtaking landscapes, and incredible wildlife with expert photography guidance, so you can focus on creating images that truly matter—ones that not only look beautiful, but tell powerful stories.

Each expedition is designed around your interests and creative goals. Whether you’re a seasoned photographer looking to add new work to your portfolio or an adventurous traveler who wants to discover Peru through the lens, we will shape the experience around you. Expect flexibility, depth, and authenticity—not a checklist.
🌄 What You’ll Experience
- Lima, the coastal capital, full of contrasts—from colonial architecture to street markets and ocean sunsets.
- The raw beauty of the Paracas coast and the wildlife-packed Ballestas Islands, where desert meets sea.
- The awe of flying over the Nazca Lines, viewing ancient mysteries only visible from the sky.
- A deep dive into the heart of the Andes with street photography in Cusco, the sacred energy of Machu Picchu, and the warm hospitality of a Quechua family far from the crowds.
- Night boat rides, jungle hikes, and wildlife photography in the depths of the Amazon Rainforest, one of the most biodiverse regions on Earth.
- Portrait, landscape, astro, wildlife, and street photography sessions, led and supported by your professional photo guide.
Whether it’s capturing a Machiguenga elder’s smile, a condor riding jungle thermals, or a blanket of stars over a mountain lake, this is where you create art, not just memories.

Amazing Trip!

It is difficult expressing just how perfect our 19-day Peru trip with Andean Photo Expeditions was; mere words feel completely insufficient.
Peru and its landscapes, flora, fauna, and culture independently are without a doubt already incredible, but both Dan and Noe infinitely elevated our experiences of Peru. They were so mindful, so meticulous, and so knowledgeable in their service, and their love for the country, its people, and history rolled off of them in waves as they revealed to us pockets of Peruvian culture and hidden photographic gems I fully believe most visitors will never get to experience.
The only problem Dan and Noe have left me with is the dread that no trip I take in the future will ever be able to top this unforgettable, rich, and beautiful adventure they took us on. For that, I am eternally grateful.
