Founder’s Story – Juvenal Iturriaga

My name is Juvenal Iturriaga, and I’m proud to share the journey that led to the creation of Juve Travel Peru.

I was born and raised in Yanahuara, a small farming community in the Sacred Valley of Urubamba, where my family lived close to the land—growing our own food and preserving the traditions of our ancestors. Quechua was my first language, and I later learned Spanish at school. To continue my education, I moved to Urubamba for high school. Life wasn’t always easy. To support myself, I worked as a porter on the Inca Trail, carrying travelers’ gear through the Inca Trails. Those two years taught me humility, strength, and a deep respect for the landscapes and people of Peru.

Driven by a dream to share the richness of my homeland, I moved to Cusco and studied hard to become a licensed tour guide. I took on every job I could—cleaning, cooking, assisting other guides—to pay for my education. After five years of effort, I officially began guiding travelers through Peru in 2004. Along the way, I learned as much from visitors as I did from my fellow locals.

As I worked in the tourism industry, I noticed something that didn’t sit right with me: most companies were foreign-owned, with very little benefit returning to local communities. That realization became the seed for Juve Travel Peru—a locally owned travel company focused on offering authentic, personalized, and responsible experiences that uplift local families, protect our environment, and celebrate the incredible cultural and natural diversity of Peru.

     Verified A trip of a lifetime with a fabulous tour guide, Juve!! Juve exceeded our expectations in so many ways! We loved every minute of our tour of Machu Picchu! Juve’s English is incredible, and he guided us through our circuit of Machu Picchu with fascinating stories of the history and culture of his people and his country! I don’t think you could find a better guide than Juve! Five stars is not enough, he deserves ten stars!

     Verified Amazing Guide and Incredible Transportation I couldn’t recommend Juve and the transportation company he hires enough. Juve was our tour guide and Julio was our driver. Everything was absolutely seamless, and Juve and Julio were extremely accommodating. We were able to change around the itinerary last minute due to altitude sickness. Juve and Julio truly cared about our experience and our health. They were with us for 6-7 days, each of which was memorable and insanely cool! Beyond that, Juve was an excellent tour guide. His knowledge of Peru made our experience an incredible one. He guided tours around Machu Picchu and the Sacred Valley, both of which were one of the most amazing parts of our travels around Peru. If you want an excellent tour, a comfortable ride, and a safe experience, please choose Juve as your tour guide. We will forever be grateful for Juve and Julio and the stress-free and interesting experience they created for us!

     Verified Choquequirao-Trek - fünf Gründe, die für JUVE TRAVEL PERU sprechen Grund 1 Juve, unser Guide und Chef der kleinen Agentur, hat sich sehr um uns bemüht. Die Tour wurde auf unsere individuellen Bedürfnisse abgestimmt und geplant. So bestand nie die Gefahr, dass wir überfordert wurden. Sein großes geschichtliches und botanisches Wissen und seine Begeisterung für sein Land und seine Vorfahren haben uns sehr beeindruckt und neugierig gemacht. Juve spricht neben Spanisch und Quechua ein ausgezeichnetes, gut verständliches Englisch. Grund 2 Sein Team war bestens vorbereitet. Wir wurden von seinem Koch Mario und seinem Helfer richtig verwöhnt. Das Essen wurde immer frisch zubereitet und war fantastisch. Sie alle sind Nachkommen des Inkavolkes und sie erzählten uns über ihre Leben in ihren Dörfern. Grund 3 Zur Ausrüstung zählte unter anderem ein geräumiges Schlafzelt für zwei Personen. Unsere Expeditionstaschen und Rucksäcke hatten neben den beiden Schlafmatten locker Platz. Das ist vor allem für Touren ins Hochgebirge wichtig, wo man wesentlich mehr eingepackt hat. Grund 4 Die Tour wurde für fünf Tage geplant. So hatten wir einen ganzen Tag Zeit, die ehemalige Inkastadt Choquequirao zu besichtigen. Die Lama-Terrassen - etwas abseits gelegen - waren eindrucksvoll Grund 5 Über Silvertiptours - die Agentur in Tirol - haben wir Juve und seine Agentur kennengelernt. Was spricht für Choquequirao? Choquequirao ist nur zu Fuß erreichbar und daher nicht so überlaufen wie Machu Picchu. Dear Juve, I hope we will see each other again next year

     Verified Juve Is The Best Last week I had the opportunity of a lifetime to spend 4 days with my sister trekking in the Andes Mtns and hiking on the Inca Trail and visiting Machu Picchu. Juve was our personal guide for the whole trip. He and his company Juve Travel Peru were amazing. Mario was a great cook! His food was top of the line. Valerio and Americo were great helpers and handled the horses and llamas great. Our tents and beds were always ready and warm water morning and night for washing!! Juve took care of all the permits and took very good care of us. We were treated like royalty. The first 2 days were in a less traveled area and beautiful high in the Andes Mtns and we got to spend time with the local people in a high mountain camp. In Machu Picchu amongst all the horde of tourists Juve’s knowledge and expertise seemed to always put us a little by ourselves for his explanations of all the history and details of Machu Picchu and the whole Aztec culture. If you are going to Cusco, Juve is the guide to use!!! He is the best!!!

     Verified Juvenal Iturreaga - Peru Trip One of our best trips ever!!! My wife and I are in our late 60’s and we visited Peru with another couple, Catalina and José Luis. Our guide, Juvenal Iturreaga did an excellent job coordinating absolutely everything for us. He was also our personal guide during the duration of our trip. He did an amazing job organizing everything. From Lima, Nazca Lines, Cusco, Machu Picchu (including Huayna Picchu mountain climbing) to Puno, Lake Titicaca with an overnight stay with a family and participation, as the only tourists, in a Holiday Folkloric Celebration on the shores of the Lake. His punctuality, quality of all transportation used, and the local guides (where needed) were all excellent services. Everything went perfect so much so that we are planning on returning next year. We are looking forward to another wonderful adventure with Juvenal in Peru. Thank you Juvenal for a job well done. We highly recommend juvetravelperu.com without a doubt.

     Verified Perfect Trip to Perú with Juvenal My wife, Catalina, me, and another couple of good friends (Orlando and Negri), just returned from a wonderful trip of thirteen days to Peru: Lima, Pisco, overflight and sighting of the Nazca Lines, Cusco, the Sacred Valley, Aguascalientes, Macchu Picchu and Wayna Picchu, an Andean baroque route, travel from the highlands to Puno, two days on the islands of Lake Titicaca, and many other points of interest, with breaks for rest and gastronomic tasting. It was a trip made to measure, with exclusive attention, which passed with chronometric perfection. My wife and I usually put together our own trips, but this time all the booking procedures for domestic flights, hotels, transportation and local guides were in charge of Juvenal Iturriaga (JUVE TRAVEL PERÚ -CUSCO-) who accompanied us throughout de tour. Juvenal is a special human being: he masters Quechua (his mother tongue), Spanish and English. He has a great community and ecological conscience and is honestly foolproof. I recommend him without reservations. Thanks, Juvenal. José Luis Vega Poet Director of the Puerto Rican Academy of the Spanish Language

     Verified Family Trip To Peru We travel as a family a lot and our experience in Peru was one of the best trips ever. The country is beautiful and Juve’s team did a phenomenal job of putting everything together. We have four kids ages 7, 9,16 and18...no one was ever board and our tour guide Frank was very knowledgeable and engraving. I would highly recommend using Juve Travel. We will be back!!

     Verified Machu Picchu with Juve In March 2019 Carla and I (Rudolf) did a 2 day hike, visiting Machu Picchu. It truly was one of the most amazing things I've ever done in my life. Our travel agent (Winnipeg Canada) had booked 4 day hikes for us,and Juve was our tour guide with Inca Trekkers.1 Cusco city tour,2 The sacred valley tour, 3 the 14 km Inca trail from from the 104 km rail line to Machu Picchu, and #4 the tour of the citadel of Machu Picchu and climb Wayna Picchu. They had put together the perfect tour for us as im a Photographer. Juve took care of all the arrangements in Peru, everything was taken care of. Juve is an amazing guide, he sizes you up real quick as to how you would like to hike and what is important to you, he has a great personality and a ton of knowledge about the history of his people the Inca. I might go back with a group of Photographers and will choose him again if we go. I have some incredible images to prove that I was there, and I will share a couple. Thanks so much Juve for an amazing journey back in time of South America, long before Columbus. Gratefully yours Rudolf & Carla Klassen
