OUR HISTORY
Pride Peru Travel was born from the desire to create a space where LGBTQ+ travelers could explore Peru with freedom, safety, and a genuine sense of connection. Although our roots come from a vision that began in 2009, Pride Peru Travel emerges as an invitation to experience travel through true inclusion—offering journeys designed to celebrate diversity and support each person with respect and sensitivity.

As a local LGBTQ+ agency, we understand our roots, our culture, and the importance of offering a respectful environment for those who wish to discover Peru while being fully themselves. Our commitment is to accompany every journey with attentive care, empathy, and sensitivity to diverse identities and expressions—shaping experiences that inspire well-being, joy, and authentic connection with each place.
Over time, we’ve built our approach on warmth, cultural understanding, and a genuine dedication to meaningful travel. Today, we continue to grow with a clear mission: to show that Peru can be experienced with pride, authenticity, and joy—guided by a team that truly understands and values its community.

Jimmy Mendoza
Founder & General Director
I believe in meeting every person with calm, respect, and authenticity. Pride Peru Travel was born from that same intention: the desire to create experiences where LGBTQ+ travelers can explore Peru with freedom, joy, and a genuine sense of connection.
I accompany each journey from the very first idea to the moment it becomes reality, taking care of every detail and creating an atmosphere of trust where every traveler feels heard, valued, and truly supported.
Connecting with people and shaping meaningful moments is what inspires me every day. It’s also what led me to create PV Travels and the ecosystem that sustains us today.
I speak Spanish and English, and I usually start my mornings with a good cup of coffee and the excitement of accompanying a new travel story.
