About Epic Andean
Epic Andean is a Cusco-based luxury travel company founded on a simple conviction: private travel in Peru should mean something more than a smaller group and a higher price tag. Behind every itinerary is over a decade of firsthand experience in Peru's travel industry - reimagined into something built exclusively around the discerning traveler.
Our Story
Epic Andean was born from a simple observation: the market had begun confusing 'private tours' with genuinely private, exclusive travel. Too many so-called luxury itineraries in Peru were, in practice, standardized group products with a private label attached - same routes, same hotels, same script, just marketed differently.
​
We built Epic Andean as the answer to that gap: a company designing journeys that are private by design, not by relabeling - where every itinerary is built from a blank page around one traveler's interests, pace, and expectations, supported by the finest properties and guides Peru has to offer.
Who's Behind Epic Andean
Epic Andean is led by Lee Frank Meza Palomino, a Cusco-based travel professional with over 10 years of experience across nearly every side of Peru's tourism industry - hospitality, public sector tourism management, large-scale tour operations, and several of Cusco's leading luxury travel agencies.
​​​
That range of experience is deliberate. Frank has seen how mass-market travel operates from the inside, and how genuine luxury service is built by the agencies that do it best - and founded Epic Andean to apply that standard to every single itinerary, not just the ones with the highest budgets. Over the course of his career, Frank has personally designed itineraries and operated trips across Peru for hundreds of travelers, an experience that now shapes every journey Epic Andean creates.
