Nineteen Years of Perfect Journeys

Meet Monica Irauzqui, Yampu's Vice President and Co-founder, whose hands-on expertise and thousands of hotel inspections have shaped every detail of your Peru experience.

Meet Monica Irauzqui

The travel industry demands two things that seem to contradict: perfectionism and the ability to go with the flow. Monica Irauzqui, Vice President and Co-founder of Yampu, has mastered both. She works hard to create perfect experiences for Yampu clients, building lifelong relationships and instilling confidence in the company's ability to make travel dreams come true. Like much of Yampu's team, she has vast amounts of first-hand knowledge of our destinations because she has been there, doing thousands of hotel inspections and finding the highest quality, most authentic experiences. At the end of a hard day's work, she'll be the first one to make sure everyone is rewarding themselves with a piece of Vermont's delicious Laughing Moon chocolate or her special Pisco Sours.

The Yampu Philosophy

Monica's approach to travel design rests on a simple belief: treat every client like a client for life. This means imagining each trip as if it were your own, then executing it with the precision of seven dedicated people working in concert. Every question gets answered. Every detail gets examined. When travelers know what to expect, they become better travelers—and happier ones. That philosophy runs through every Yampu tour, from the first conversation with a consultant to the moment you return home.
