Welcome to Photo Tours Peru
Photography Expeditions Designed Around the Light, the Landscape, and the Moment
Welcome to Photo Tours Peru, a specialist photography company creating immersive Peru photography tours for photographers who want more than sightseeing—they want to experience Peru through the camera.
From the dramatic peaks of the Andes and the timeless landscapes of the Sacred Valley to the ancient world of Machu Picchu, vibrant Andean festivals, rare birds, and extraordinary night skies, our tours are designed around photography opportunities, natural light, authentic experiences, and creative freedom.
Whether you are a professional photographer, an enthusiast, or simply passionate about creating exceptional images, we take you beyond the typical tourist route and into the places, moments, and perspectives that make Peru truly unforgettable.
Landscape Photography Tours
Discover the extraordinary diversity of Peru through our landscape photography tours. Photograph high-altitude mountains, glacial lakes, ancient Inca landscapes, dramatic valleys, waterfalls, deserts, and remote Andean scenery.
Our Peru landscape photography tours are carefully planned around the best locations, changing light, weather conditions, sunrise, sunset, and the unique character of each landscape—giving you time to compose, experiment, and create images that tell a story.
Astrophotography Tours
Peru's high-altitude Andes offer some of the most spectacular night skies in South America.
Our astrophotography tours in Peru take you far from city lights to photograph the Milky Way, stars, moonlight landscapes, celestial events, and the extraordinary connection between the night sky and the Andes.
From Ausangate and Rainbow Mountain to Salkantay and other remote high-altitude locations, every expedition is planned with night-sky conditions, lunar phases, weather, foregrounds, and photographic composition in mind.
Bird Photography Tours
Peru is one of the world's great destinations for bird photography, and our bird photography tours in Peru are designed to put you in the right habitat at the right time.
Photograph hummingbirds, tanagers, toucans, Andean species, endemic birds, and spectacular wildlife across the Andes, cloud forests, and Amazonian ecosystems.
Our small-group Peru bird photography tours combine expert local knowledge, carefully selected locations, patient fieldwork, and photography-focused itineraries so you can spend more time behind the camera and less time searching for your subject.
Portrait Photography Tours
Go beyond landscapes and photograph the people who give Peru its soul.
Our portrait photography tours in Peru provide opportunities to create authentic environmental portraits of Andean communities, traditional dress, local artisans, farmers, performers, and people whose stories are deeply connected to their culture and surroundings.
We focus on natural expressions, authentic interaction, beautiful locations, available light, and respectful cultural experiences—creating portraits that feel genuine rather than staged.
Festival & Cultural Photography
Peru's festivals are a visual world of color, movement, tradition, music, costumes, faith, and emotion.
Our festival photography tours in Peru take you into some of the country's most remarkable cultural celebrations, including major Andean festivities and traditional community events.
Rather than simply watching from the sidelines, we help photographers understand the rhythm of each celebration, anticipate important moments, and find compelling opportunities for documentary, cultural, portrait, and storytelling photography.
Private & Custom Photography Tours
Your photography goals are unique. Your tour should be too.
Our private photography tours in Peru can be completely customized around your interests, photographic style, fitness level, preferred locations, travel dates, and equipment.
Whether you want a dedicated landscape photography expedition, an intensive astrophotography trip, a specialized bird photography tour, a cultural portrait experience, or a combination of several photographic disciplines, we can design a private itinerary around exactly what you want to photograph.
You choose the vision. We build the expedition around it.
More Than a Photography Tour
At Photo Tours Peru, we believe exceptional photography comes from being in the right place, at the right moment, with enough time to see the possibilities.
That's why we keep our groups small and our itineraries photography-focused. Our experienced photography guides combine knowledge of Peruvian landscapes, Andean culture, wildlife, local traditions, weather, light, and photographic locations to help you make the most of every opportunity.
You won't simply collect photographs of Peru.
You'll experience the landscape before sunrise, wait for the perfect light, follow birds through the cloud forest, photograph living traditions, stand beneath an Andean night sky, and return home with images that carry the atmosphere and story of the journey.
Photograph Peru Differently
Landscape. Wildlife. Portraits. Festivals. Astrophotography. Custom Expeditions.
One country. Extraordinary possibilities.

Why Travel With Photo Tours Peru
Behind the Camera
Milky Way photography with Photo Tours Peru
Chasing Starlight Across the Andes
Some of the most powerful moments happen after dark. What began as simple curiosity has become a passion for Milky Way photography in Peru and across South America's most remote landscapes. From astrophotography in Atacama to a Uyuni salt flats photography tour, I focus on capturing silence, altitude, and starlight in perfect harmony.
Crafted for Serious Photographers
Whether guiding a Peru Milky Way photography workshop, leading a Bolivia astrophotography tour, or photographing the Salar de Uyuni night photography reflections, each session is about slowing down and embracing the sky. Night sky photography in the Andes and dark sky photography in South America reveal the universe at its most breathtaking.
Exploring the Night Sky Through Photography
South America holds some of the world's most extraordinary visual treasures—and we know exactly where to find them. At Photo Tours Peru, we don't just visit iconic locations; we time our arrivals for perfect light, position you for decisive moments, and provide expert guidance that elevates your craft.
Astrophotography Photography The Andes offer what few places on Earth can match: truly dark skies at high altitude. Our Peru Milky Way photography workshops take you above 4,000 meters where atmospheric clarity reveals the cosmos in breathtaking detail. From the Sacred Valley to the Atacama Desert, we chase the galactic core through seasons, teaching advanced techniques for capturing star trails, nightscapes, and deep-sky objects. Our Bolivia astrophotography tour at Salar de Uyuni creates mirror-perfect reflections of the Milky Way—an image every astrophotographer dreams of.
Landscape Photography Peru's geography reads like a catalog of Earth's most dramatic formations. Our landscape photography tours span from the emerald cloud forests of Manu to the snow-capped peaks of the Cordillera Blanca. The Inca Trail photography tour delivers sunrise over Machu Picchu from the Sun Gate—arguably South America's most iconic landscape image. We time multi-day treks for golden hour, teach composition among ancient ruins, and explore high-altitude lakes that mirror perfect symmetry.
Wildlife Photography Whether your passion is feathers or felines, our wildlife expeditions deliver. Amazon bird photography in Tambopata puts you in front of macaw clay licks with hundreds of Scarlet and Blue-and-yellow Macaws. Our Patagonia puma photography tours in Torres del Paine maintain 95% sighting success through expert tracking, positioning you for predatory action against mountain backdrops. From hummingbirds to giant otters, we understand animal behavior and photographic timing.
Portrait & Festivity Photography Peru's living culture offers extraordinary human subjects. Our festivity photography tours coincide with Inti Raymi, Qoyllur Rit'i, and regional celebrations—providing authentic access to traditional dress, dance, and ritual. We arrange portrait photography sessions with Quechua weavers, Andean farmers, and conservationists, creating environmental portraits that tell deeper stories.

Where Light Meets Legacy
PhotoTours Peru invites you to experience powerful landscapes through intentional storytelling. From the Sacred Valley to high Andean plateaus, our journeys blend culture, light, and deep human connection. We don't just visit places—we see them, frame them, and honor the stories they hold.
Peru's Most Diverse Photography Canvas
Our Cusco photography tour begins in the historic heart of the Inca Empire, where colonial architecture meets living Quechua culture in streets bathed by golden hour. Journey into the Sacred Valley photography tour, where ancient terraces, traditional markets, and Andean communities provide endless opportunities for Andean portrait photography tour sessions—capturing weathered faces that carry centuries of resilience and grace.
For those drawn to raw wilderness, our Amazon rainforest photography tour immerses you in biodiversity hotspots where macaws, monkeys, and iridescent insects become your subjects. The Manu wildlife photography tour takes this deeper into one of the world's most pristine biosphere reserves, where professional photographer guides help you nail that perfect jungle shot.
Seeking drama? The Colca Canyon photography tour delivers condors riding thermal currents against volcanic backdrops twice the depth of the Grand Canyon. Our Rainbow Mountain photography tour leads you to Vinicunca at sunrise, where mineral-stripped slopes explode in crimson, gold, and lavender—an essential stop for anyone wanting to capture stunning landscapes that defy belief.
When the Sun Sets, the Real Magic Begins
As darkness falls, join our Milky Way photography tour Peru for night sky photography in the Andes that will transform your portfolio. We specialize in dark sky photography in South America, accessing remote plateaus where atmospheric clarity and zero light pollution create astrophotography conditions rivaling anywhere on Earth.
Extend your expedition with Astrophotography in Atacama, where the driest desert on Earth offers 300+ cloudless nights annually. Continue with a Bolivia astrophotography tour featuring the surreal Uyuni salt flats photography tour—here, Salar de Uyuni night photography creates infinite mirror reflections of the cosmos, a phenomenon found nowhere else.
The PhotoTours Peru Difference
We believe photography expeditions should be transformative, not transactional. That's why we limit small photography groups to 2-8 participants maximum—ensuring unhurried access, personalized coaching, and minimal environmental impact. Every journey is led by a professional photographer guide who understands both technical mastery and cultural sensitivity.
From world-class locations like Machu Picchu at dawn to hidden valleys where conders nest, we curate experiences where capture stunning landscapes becomes second nature to capturing authentic human moments.
Your Frame Awaits
Whether you're documenting the Milky Way arching over Ausangate or the weathered hands of a Quechua weaver, PhotoToursPeru crafts journeys where technical excellence meets meaningful connection.
