Fertur Peru Travel celebrates its 19th anniversary

[Originally published October 30, 2013] Fertur Peru Travel turns 19 years old today.

It was on Oct. 30, 1994, that Siduith started with a shared office on Jirón Belén, and an information desk at the Hostal España.

Today we operate two offices in Lima (one in the historic center and the other in Miraflores) and our Cusco office to manage direct ground operations.

Siduith and I want to express how proud we are of our staff of travel advisers, hand-picked experienced guides and operations managers who dedicate themselves to ensure the satisfaction of every client through outstanding personalized service.

On behalf of Siduith and our fabulous team, I want to thank all of our customers and friends for their support.

Rick Vecchio, Fertur's director of development and marketing, was educated at the New School for Social Research and Columbia Graduate School of Journalism. He worked for Pacifica Radio WBAI and as a daily reporter for newspapers in New Jersey, New York and Massachusetts. Then in 1996, he decided it was time to realize a life-long dream of traveling to Peru. He never went back.

While serving as Peru country manager for the South American Explorers from 1997-1999, he fell in love with Fertur's founder, Siduith Ferrer, and they married. Over the next six years, he worked as a correspondent for The Associated Press. Meanwhile, Siduith built the business, which he joined in January 2007.

Now he designs custom educational and adventure tour packages for corporate and institutional clients, oversees Fertur's Internet platform and occasionally leads special trips, always with an eye open for a good story to write about.
