Experts In South America

BEHIND
THE NAME
Kuoda means to expand, to improve, to learn and to grow. This is our philosophy.
As experts in creating unforgettable experiences, our team is strongly committed to these principles,
always on the lookout for new and stimulating journeys through South America.
PROUD TO BE
A Woman-Led Company
As a Cusco native working for the hospitality industry, Mery Calderón, had witnessed many-a-time groups of exasperated tourists being shepherded onto crowded tour buses. Knowing they were not being treated to a genuine local experience, she experienced a light-bulb moment:
Peru needed a specialized, customer-oriented travel company that treated travelers as individual people whose wanderlust for the world around them was taken seriously.
She developed Kuoda to empower travelers, establishing a woman-led company where 74% of key leadership roles are also held by women. Ever since, Kuoda has been providing private, personalized, luxury tours across South America.
