Our trip to Machu Picchu was part of our 7 day excursion that Oda organized for us. It was amazing!! She took care of every little detail including providing us with a delicious home cooked vegan lunch plus nutritious snacks that was carried by our guide all the way on the train that took us to Aguas Calientes. It is very hard to find vegan food there so having Oda take care of it all for us was a huge relief. Oda arranged for a very knowledgeable, fun and friendly English speaking guide , Juan Lazo to accompany us to Machu Picchu. Juan took care of all the tickets and timings so that we got to see Machu Picchu at a very relaxed pace. If you are a vegan or vegetarian I highly recommend you book this excursion with Oda. You will not regret it!

I can not recommend Veggie Peru enough! Oda and Armando customized a tour for my mom and me (both vegan) that included all of the must-see sights in and around Cusco. Every detail was attended to and we could not have hoped for more. We ate so much delicious and healthy food at every meal! Oda and Armando truly care about animals and the environment - it's clear this is not just a business, but a heart felt life's work for two amazing, compassionate individuals. Thank you Veggie Peru for a once in a lifetime adventure!

We can't say enough about how wonderful our time was with Oda, Armando and their wonderful staff. They really took the time to personalize our experience and to make it truly memorable. Their extensive knowledge and care shone through time and again. As vegans, it was so relaxing to be able to sit back and enjoy the day without worrying about the next meal! The food was well planned and simply delicious. We felt like we got a good sense of regional food as well as some breaks to enjoy more typical fare such as pizza and vegan sushi :) The tours were fabulous. Oda really knows her stuff and we learned so much. We highly recommend Vegetarian Peru Adventures with no reservations! It is sure to be an amazing and uplifting experience. You will be taken care of beyond measure.

This was an incridible expereince. Seeing all of the sites (main and off the beaten path) and haviong a guide who was ablwe to answer questions and give a detailed history of all of the sites. This was truely an amazing and rich experience. In addition, the guide assisted with making sure all meals were vegan (for our specific diet) and made excellent recommendations for restaurants, shops, etc. Upon returning to Peru in the future I will definately be using Veg. Peru adventures again.

Veggie Peru provided a very special experience for us, with a couple of mornings in Cusco and several day-long outings to amazing architectural sites and scenes of natural beauty, including Machu Picchu, of course--but so much more! Oda is a more than knowledgeable guide--she knows everything! And she and Armando were the perfect hosts when we stayed at their serene Andean Spirit Lodge. The delicious food they provided there, and arranged for elsewhere, made me feel right at home as a vegan.

Our Veggie Peru trip from Cusco to the Manu Rainforest was a wonderful and unforgettable experience. Travelling through the highlands and cloud forest then down into the tropical jungle meant that we got to see a diverse range of climates along with their unique plants and wildlife. The lodges we stayed in were really well chosen and very comfortable. Their locations were great, situated deep in the forest and the food was also excellent, varied and with extremely generous portions! Our guide Oda was so friendly, helpful and knowledgable about the areas we visited. I don't think we'd have seen a fraction of the things we did without her! It was great having Oda explain not only what the animals, birds and plants were but also how they survived in the forest. Oda's knowlege went beyond the flora and fauna too and covered the history, anthropology and languages of the areas we visited. Truly an invaluabl guide who made a great trip into one I'd easily call a trip of a lifetime. I really can't recommend it highly enough.

My husband and I found Veggie Peru through a Google search and thought they sounded like an organisation tailor made for ourselves in terms of wildlife spotting, caring about the environment and catering with veggie food! We were not disappointed and would highly recommend them would definitely be return customers. The trip from Cusco was very well organised and was just for the two of us. Oda was a friendly, enthusiastic and knowledgeable guide with decades of experience in Manu and she is also an expert in Andean culture & history, so we learned a lot about Peru on the journey from Cusco too. Marco was a very skilled and friendly driver so we felt very safe on the rainforest tracks. Both the Tambo Paititi Lodge and the Amazonian Lodge were comfortable with en suite bathrooms and friendly staff who provided us with really tasty food and extremely generous portions! We spotted an impressive amount of wildlife and plants on the trails around the lodges including capybara, bats, monkeys, black caiman and lots of exotic birds. It was a wonderful experience and one I would happily do again.

Since returning in late February from five incredibly enriching weeks traveling on a private trip with Oda in South India and Rajasthan, I have tried several times to set down in words a review of my experience. Each time however, words just seemed too inadequate to covey the richness and depth of my experience. I would stop trying and happily succumb to getting lost in memories and reminiscences about the diversity of the sights, sounds, smells, the food, the beauty of the land and the incredible spirituality and open heartedness of the people we met, and who so generously made room for us to share life's path for a bit on our journey. I believe I have made new friends who I already look forward not only to seeing again, but to having an opportunity to be involved in their committed efforts and community support programs; to once again experience the generosity of their warm welcome to share the path. I am deeply appreciative, and very grateful, for the time and effort that Oda invested in planning and organizing this travel experience. It was far more than a travel experience; it was a cultural involvement and participation. No matter how much time & effort I might have spent trying to put together a similar trip myself, I could never have come anywhere close to it. Oda has been visiting India at least once a year, often 2-3 times, for over 30 years. Oda has not only a deep knowledge and understanding of India; its cultures, religions, customs and traditions, but she has established friendships and relationships that she openly shares. This creates a very culturally authentic, responsible and sustainable travel and life experience that directly benefits the local, often underserved, people and communities. This was my second trip guided by Oda. My first experience with Vegetarian Peru Adventures was in 2016 when I participated in a 20 day small group trip to Peru guided by Oda and Armando. That too was a deeply moving involvement and participation with the history, culture and people of Peru. I am already planing a third cultural involvement guided by Oda, and dreaming of the fourth, fifth and beyond!

We took a private tour with Veggie Peru in late October/early November 2018 to the Sacred Valley, Machu Picchu and other Inca (and pre and post Inca) sites, Cusco and Lake Titicaca. We are so glad we chose Veggie Peru rather than any other operator or trying to go independently. The whole tour was outstanding in every way. Oda and Armando have a deep knowledge of, and love and respect for, the area, its people and its culture. Oda is an outstanding campaigner for vegetarian and vegan food in an area where it's not always as straightforward as might appear. We were hugely grateful to her for guiding us on this, as well as giving us insights into the life and history of the region, pre and post conquest and contemporary, which we would probably have missed otherwise. We enjoyed visiting some of the local initiatives in which she is involved. All the accommodation throughout the tour was excellent. After an enjoyable last evening in Cusco, we returned to the City View flat, before going on to Puno and Lake Titicaca in the morning. We enjoyed our visit to Taquile island in Lake Titicaca, where we stayed with a local family. We were impressed by the way the people of Taquile - and other areas we visited - have struck a balance between welcoming visitors and preserving their way of life. Many thanks to all concerned for a most enjoyable experience.

Vegetarian Peru Adventures set us up with another company that would cater to vegans, taking the hassle and stress out of our hands. The company we got set up with was excellent and despite being the only two vegans in a large group of other trekkers, we felt very accommodated for. Armando and Oda were very quick to respond to emails and such, attended the pre-trek briefing with us and made sure to follow up with us after for feedback on our trip. They even provided free cookies during our stay in Cusco prior to the trek! Overall a useful company to use if you are travelling the area as a vegetarian or vegan.

We have just returned from a week-long tour of the Sacred Valley, Cusco and Machu Picchu with Oda of Vegetarian Peru Adventures. We were nervous about heading to Peru with our need to eat with compassion, but Oda made sure that all of our food was vegan and safe. She either provided the food or made sure that we ate in appropriate restaurants. With that worry out of the way we were able to enjoy all of the beautiful Inca sites under Oda's knowledgable, insightful guidance. She seems to know everyone and everything about this fascinating area of Peru. We highly recommend this company!

If you are interested in vegetarian travel, and you want to go to South America, you should use Vegetarian Peru Adventures. The company is run by a woman named Oda Seedhouse. She is your tour guide throughout your stay in Peru. Oda is extremely knowledgeable about the region. She is also knows the best places to get vegan/vegetarian food. And she is very nice. I went with two friends, and we were very pleased with the trip. Highly recommended!

You will not find a more knowledgeable, insightful and interesting way to see the sights of Peru. With Oda and team as your guides, you'll be well taken care of in every respect, and you will come away with a much deeper understanding of the sights and history of Peru. Highly recommended! We had a fantastic time. Thank you Oda!

Oda is a virtual encyclopedia of knowledge of the history, anthropology, archaeology, fauna and flora of Cuzco. Her long standing relationship with the region makes the experience for the traveler more intimate and real. Her attention to detail and concern for our comfort was exemplary--I would use VPA again in a heartbeat!

Vegetarian Peru Adventures is amazing . Thus place takes your breath away. it is astonish and amazing.
