Sneak a peek at what goes on behind the scenes and what moves us. In Katy’s case, it’s mostly discovering new places to enjoy Peru’s gastronomy. For Steve, it’s a handy place to keep track of our ever-growing swag of awards. Sometimes our guests share their experiences. Sometimes it’s updates on our trips, our personal travels, and our growing families. It’s random and personal - like us!
We're delighted to announce that Aspiring Adventures has been recommended in the latest edition of the Lonely Planet Peru guidebook (2013)!

Held annually since 2008, Mistura is now the largest food festival in Latin America. It is a feast of colours, flavours and diversity, a celebration of the land’s treasures and of the farmers who every day work in the field to feed us and make the delicious Peruvian food possible.
