Travel the world as if you knew someone there.
DestyWay brings togetherlocal stays, experiences and servicesthat I find while travelling: from a small hostel in the Andes to an Amazon expedition. It starts in Peru and grows country by country without becoming an anonymous catalogue.
The DestyWay rule:prioritise small businesses, local contact and experiences with a story to tell. Commercial projects are identified when relevant.

Current selection
Three places to start.
They are very different projects, and that is exactly the point: DestyWay is not only about tours or only about accommodation.
Apu Ausangate Lodge
A simple base in Pacchanta for Seven Lakes, horse riding, glacier trips and mountain days away from the rushed circuit.

Mía Hostel · Casa Juan Carlos
A small hostel in Caraz for travellers who prefer a pleasant town close to the Santa Cruz Trek and the Cordillera Blanca.

There are only a few projects today. Tomorrow there may be hundreds: hostels, surf schools, rentals, horse rides, retreats, guides, workshops and experiences I have not discovered yet.

Destinations
One country now. Many more later.
I prefer to open a country after I have been there and have something useful to add. For now, DestyWay starts in Peru.

From travel blog to local network
DestyWay grew out of travelling, not filling a database.
The project started as my travel notebook: routes, mistakes, prices and places I liked. As I met guides, hostels and small businesses with little online presence, connecting the two started to make sense.
The blog is still here. It explainswhyI recommend a place and helps you plan a trip around those experiences.
Do you run a local business?
We also build the websites featured on DestyWay.
If you run a hostel, guide service, school, rental or experience, you can have your own independent website and use DestyWay as an additional showcase.
