Who we are
A local company, built by people who love this land
Santu is a locally owned, family-run tour operator based in the Sacred Valley of Peru. For more than 20 years we have been creating adventure, cultural and tailor-made journeys across the country, always with the same belief: the best way to discover Peru is with people who live here.
We know the trails because we walk them, the communities because we work beside them, and the mountains because they are part of our everyday life.

The people behind Santu
Two owners. One shared love for Peru.
Giuliana Rojas Balta
General Manager & Co-owner
Giuliana is an Industrial Engineer from the University of Lima and recently completed a Master’s degree in Event Organization and Business Tourism. At Santu she leads general management, strategy, development and continuous improvement, combining her business training with hands-on experience in tourism. Living and working in the Sacred Valley has given her a close connection to its people and landscapes, and a simple belief: responsible tourism begins by respecting the place you share.
Dany Vásquez Salas
Commercial Manager & Co-owner
Dany has spent more than two decades connected to trekking, mountains and outdoor adventure in the Peruvian Andes. As Commercial Manager, he looks after Santu’s commercial development and its relationships with clients and partners, drawing on direct experience in the field. For him, adventure tourism is not simply a product to sell. It is a way of connecting people with nature, local culture and the landscapes of Peru.
