We Go Beyond Expectations

When it matters most, Yampu's team steps in—like Jose 'Bulldog' Irauzqui did for Mary M., turning a crisis into a triumph.

When It Matters Most

Mary M. had traveled with Yampu before—to Bhutan and India, guided by Stephanie Rudolph—and she trusted the company completely. But when COVID-19 forced her to cancel, she faced a maze of insurance claims and refunds. Jose Irauzqui, Yampu's cofounder, stepped in personally. He fought for her claim with such tenacity that she nicknamed him "Bulldog." He didn't stop until Mary and her traveling partner both had their refunds in hand. That's when she realized: if she could run her business the way Yampu runs theirs, she'd be a millionaire many times over.

Care Beyond the Booking

When travel plans collapse, the measure of a company isn't what it promised—it's what it does next. In September 2020, as COVID-19 unraveled trips across the world, Yampu's travel experts stepped in for guests facing lost deposits and broken insurance claims. Jose Irauzqui, Yampu's cofounder, personally intervened to help recover refunds for travelers left stranded by cancellations. That's the difference between a booking service and a partner: Yampu doesn't just arrange your journey to Peru's most beautiful places. They ensure that when the unexpected happens, someone is fighting for you.
