Whether you are arriving in Peru, beginning your Pan-American adventure, crossing South America, shipping your motorcycle overseas, or simply looking for a safe place to rest, we are delighted to welcome you.
We are John Sánchez Chirinos and Family, travelers just like you.
Years ago, we set out to explore Peru by road, discovering its breathtaking landscapes, vibrant cultures, and incredible people. Along the way, we also experienced the challenges every traveler knows well—finding a secure place to stay, protecting our vehicle, dealing with customs procedures, preparing for international shipping, or simply needing someone we could trust in an unfamiliar city.
Those experiences inspired us to create El Tip Viajero.
Today, El Tip Viajero is much more than an apartment or an urban campground. It has become a meeting point for travelers from all over the world—a place where overlanders, motorcyclists, cyclists, backpackers, digital nomads, and families find not only accommodation, but also friendship, support, and practical solutions for life on the road.
Here you will find comfortable apartments, secure storage for motorcycles and expedition vehicles, urban camping, long-term vehicle storage, luggage storage, airport assistance, SOAT insurance, legal guidance, Fast TIP/CIT Suspension and Reactivation services, and international vehicle shipping from the Port of Callao.
If your journey takes you beyond Lima, we can also help you discover other incredible destinations through our services and trusted partners in Cusco, Pucallpa, Colán, and Caleta Vidal, allowing you to experience Peru with confidence from the Pacific coast to the Amazon.
We are also proud to be the founders of Arca Network, a growing community that connects travelers and trusted hosts from the United States to Patagonia. Through Arca Network, thousands of travelers share safe places, local knowledge, workshops, campgrounds, accommodations, mechanics, and essential services, proving every day that the best journeys are built through cooperation and friendship.
Our philosophy is simple:
Travelers Helping Travelers.
Whether you stay with us for one night, one week, or several months, our commitment is always the same: to make your time in Peru easier, safer, and more enjoyable.
From the moment you contact us until the day you continue your adventure, you are not just another guest—you become part of our traveling family.
Thank you for trusting us.
Thank you for allowing us to be part of your journey.
We hope the memories you create in Peru stay with you for a lifetime, and that wherever the road takes you next, you will always remember that you have a home waiting for you here.
Welcome to El Tip Viajero.
Welcome to Arca Network.
Welcome to your home in Peru.
Safe travels,
John Sánchez Chirinos & Family
Founders of El Tip Viajero E.I.R.L. & Arca Network
Greetings! I'm John Sánchez, a seasoned lawyer with a Doctorate from the National University of San Marcos. My professional journey has seamlessly blended the realms of legal advocacy and the vibrant world of tourism.
With a solid academic foundation and a wealth of experience, I have not only practiced law but also imparted my knowledge as a lecturer on topics ranging from internet law to public administration. My roles as the Head of Planning and Development at the Superior Court of Justice in Lima and the Director of the Judicial Management Unit at the Supreme Court of Justice of Peru have honed my skills in legal strategy and administration.
Beyond the courtroom, I am an avid traveler, having explored the vast network of roads in Peru and beyond. From the breathtaking landscapes of Ecuador to the sun-soaked shores of Florida, USA, my travels have extended across South America and the Caribbean. These journeys have not only broadened my perspective but also allowed me to connect with diverse cultures, enhancing my ability to navigate legal landscapes with a global understanding.
In addition to my legal pursuits, I am the proud founder of an organization dedicated to VW Beetle enthusiasts. For over 16 years, our community has not only celebrated a shared passion but has actively engaged in community service initiatives. Volunteering within the country and founding the #apoyaalosviajeros group, comprised of motorhome enthusiasts worldwide, speaks to my commitment to social impact beyond the legal realm.
My extensive experience in managing tourism-related networks has provided me with a valuable web of connections. Through my involvement in various travel groups and initiatives, I have cultivated relationships that span the tourism industry. This network, built over years of dedicated engagement, positions me as a well-connected professional with insights into the dynamic world of travel.
In conclusion, my professional journey is a testament to the seamless integration of legal acumen and a passion for exploration. Whether advocating in courtrooms or traversing the highways of Peru, I bring a unique blend of skills, experiences, and a global perspective to every endeavor.
Let's continue to explore new horizons, both in the world of law and the enchanting landscapes that await our discovery.

Greetings, fellow travelers and enthusiasts of new experiences! I am Cristina, founder and owner of El Tip Viajero Eirl, a company dedicated to providing lodging services nationwide. Allow me to share a bit of my story and passion that has brought this project to life.
I am a professional in Library Science with a solid education from the prestigious Pontifical Catholic University of Peru. My love for culture and knowledge led me to complement my academic journey with a Master's in Cultural Management from the Private University of San Martin de Porres. My path in the field of document management has been woven through experiences in notable institutions such as the Institute of Environmental Studies at PUCP and the Inca Garcilazo de la Vega Cultural Center, belonging to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
My deep commitment to preserving cultural heritage now intertwines with my venture into tourism. At El Tip Viajero, I merge hospitality with the cultural richness I have cultivated throughout my career. Each lodging space we offer is more than a room; it is a gateway to the authenticity and cultural diversity of our beautiful country.
At El Tip Viajero, we strive to provide comfortable and secure stays for all our guests. With a strong foundation in document and cultural management, we ensure that every corner of our accommodations reflects the charm and authenticity that defines us.

Welcome to El Tip Viajero - Where Hospitality Finds its Home!
Welcome to El Tip Viajero, Peru's complete Overlander Hub, where travelers from around the world find much more than accommodation.
We are John Sánchez Chirinos and Family, founders of El Tip Viajero and Arca Network. What began as a family journey across Peru became a mission to help other travelers explore the Americas with greater safety, confidence, and freedom.
As travelers ourselves, we experienced the challenges of crossing borders, searching for safe accommodation, finding secure vehicle storage, navigating customs procedures, arranging international shipping, and simply looking for trustworthy people willing to help.
Instead of accepting those challenges as part of the journey, we decided to create solutions.
Today, El Tip Viajero has grown into one of Peru's most comprehensive traveler support centers, welcoming overlanders, motorcyclists, campervan travelers, expedition vehicles, cyclists, backpackers, digital nomads, and families from every continent.

Welcome to El Tip Viajero.
Your Home in Peru. Your Family on the Road.
At El Tip Viajero, we are proud to be the founders of Arca Network, Global Association for Overland Campsites, Lodging, and Travel Services, https://www.arcacamp.com an international community created by travelers, for travelers.
Arca Network was born from a simple idea that we discovered while traveling across Peru and later throughout the overlanding community: the greatest resource any traveler can find is another traveler.
No guidebook, app, or map can replace the kindness of someone who has already traveled the road ahead, knows the local conditions, and is willing to help.
That belief became the foundation of Arca Network.
Today, Arca Network connects travelers, hosts, campgrounds, apartments, mechanics, workshops, vehicle storage facilities, shipping services, local businesses, and trusted travel services from the United States to Patagonia, creating one of the largest collaborative traveler communities in the Americas.
More than an interactive map, Arca Network is a living network of people who share the same passion for exploration and the same values of friendship, respect, solidarity, and mutual support.
Every location added to the network represents more than a place on a map—it represents a person or family ready to welcome fellow travelers, share local knowledge, and help someone continue their journey safely.
Our vision has always been to make long-distance travel easier, safer, and more connected.
Whether you are driving the Pan-American Highway, riding a motorcycle through the Andes, exploring the Amazon, crossing borders with your camper, or beginning the journey of a lifetime from Alaska to Ushuaia, Arca Network is designed to help you find trusted places and trustworthy people along the way.
The philosophy that guides our community is simple:
Travelers Helping Travelers.
This means sharing knowledge instead of keeping it, opening our doors instead of closing them, and understanding that every act of kindness strengthens the global travel community.
As founders of Arca Network, our mission extends beyond providing accommodation or travel services. We work every day to connect people across cultures, countries, and languages, building relationships based on trust and the shared passion for discovering the world.
We believe that travel has the power to unite people, create lifelong friendships, and break down borders—not only between countries, but also between cultures and communities.
Through El Tip Viajero and Arca Network, we continue building a continental network where every traveler can find support, every host can share their hospitality, and every journey becomes part of something much greater.
Together, we are creating a community that stretches across the Americas—from the United States to Patagonia—proving that no traveler is ever truly alone.
Welcome to Arca Network.
A community built by travelers, for travelers.
