About Us

 I’m Ali Mesias, founder of Aliperutreks., and I welcome you to Ali Peru Treks. My purpose goes beyond guiding you to Machu Picchu. I was born on the slopes of the Andes, and my team and I are dedicated to sharing the profound history, the vibrant culture, and the majestic beauty of our home in the most authentic and sustainable way possible.

Ali Peru Treks is my dream, built from the trails I’ve walked since childhood. I founded this company with a simple goal: to ensure every traveler experiences the real Peru—the one I know and love.

We are a team of licensed, professional guides—all born and raised right here in the Cusco region and the Sacred Valley. I personally trained my colleagues to uphold the highest standards of safety and cultural respect. When you trek with us, you’re not just a client; you’re an invited guest, led by a local who understands the spiritual significance of every step.

Our Philosophy: Traveling with Purpose

My personal philosophy and the foundation of Ali Peru Treksis built on three unwavering promises:

Authentic Connection is Key

I don’t just point out ruins; I introduce you to my history. My team and I are native Quechua speakers, and we teach you about the Andean Cosmovision—the stories of Pachamama (Mother Earth) and the profound legacy of the Inca. Your journey with us is a genuine immersion, guided by a local friend.

 Respecting Our Home and Our People

Sustainability and ethics are non-negotiable for me. This is my community and my environment.

• Ethical Treatment: We guarantee fair wages, excellent gear, and compassionate working conditions for all our porters and support staff. Their dignity is our priority because they are the heroes of our treks.
• Conservation: We live by strict «Leave No Trace» principles, teaching respect for the environment to protect our fragile Andean home for future generations.

Your Safety is My Personal Commitment

Having guided countless expeditions, I know that meticulous planning ensures peace of mind. Every guide is personally vetted by me and certified in advanced wilderness first aid and altitude sickness emergency management. From the reliable logistics to the oxygen tanks we carry, I ensure every detail is managed so you can focus solely on the adventure.

What I Promise You from Ali Peru Treks

• Intimate Groups: I keep my groups small (usually max 12 people) because I believe a great guide should be able to connect with everyone personally.
• Gourmet Trekking Meals: My cooks—local culinary artists—will prepare incredible gourmet meals on the trail, tailored to any dietary need you have.
• Direct and Personal Support: You’ll communicate directly with me or my lead team members, ensuring that the local expert who plans your trip is the same local expert who cares about your experience.

At Aliperutreks we are dedicated to providing you with an authentic and wonderful varied experience towards Machu Picchu, such as the famous Classic Inca Trail, Salcantay Trail, Lares Trail, Choquequirao Trail, Rainbow Mountain City Tour, Sacred Valley and even a shorter version of 2 days of the Inca Trail.
