About Adios Adventure Travel

An American teacher and Peruvian guide came together with a shared vision: to create distinctive journeys that transform travelers and connect cultures.

Our Story

Vidal began organizing trips in 1995, and Adios Adventure Travel has operated as an officially licensed company since 2009. What started as a partnership between an American educator and a Peruvian guide has grown into a team of passionate travel experts crafting thoughtful, mind-blowing journeys across South America.

We believe travel should be transformative. Our trips are designed not just to show you beautiful places, but to immerse you in living cultures, introduce you to remarkable people, and create memories that last a lifetime.

Based in Virginia Beach, USA and Cusco, Peru, we combine American service standards with deep local expertise. Every itinerary is customized, every guide is handpicked, and every detail is considered.
