We are Sustainable Tourism Operators

In organising all our tours, we incorporate the universal principle of tourism; protect the environment and benefit the local community and its culture. To this end, we have recruited trained local staff that know, understand, feel and respect the places and the people.

Responsible Tourism

Conserving the environment

The beauty and diversity of Peru is awe-inspiring – we want to keep it that way…

On all our tours, we have a clean-up policy that must be respected by all our employees – ‘take out what you take in’

* We use clean burning fuel to cook the meals on our treks

* We ensure local water is kept clean by avoiding using pollutants in streams or springs

* We limit deforestation - we do not make open fires and discourage others from doing so

* We avoid activities which threaten wildlife or which may be potentially damaging to our natural environment

Helping the local community

Providing opportunities for local people is vital in ensuring that tourism benefits the community, improve life standards and give oportunities to people.

* We employ local staff and pay them fair, legal wages

* We ensure that our treatment of staff abides by legal requirements

* We use locally-owned transportation and accommodation

Your responsibility

* Tourism is the main industry in Cusco and you, the tourist, can ensure that it impacts on the community in a positive way...

* Read about the culture and the people before you come - this will prepare you for expected modes of behaviour and dress and also give you an insight into the society before you arrive
* Learn a few words of Spanish – your efforts to communicate will be warmly welcomed
* Buy local – eg. food/drink – rather than imported products. This way you will taste a bit of real Peru while helping the local economy
* If you are bargaining over an item, think that a small difference to you, is probably a big one for the seller –
* pay a fair price and bargain less.
* Ask permission before you photograph local people
* Respect the local traditions and holy places
* Remember that lifestyle and time concepts are probably different than your own, not inferior – different!
* Choose to be surprised, not disapointed, when things, places, services, or people do not match your expectation
