Peru adventure holiday

On this trip: Our groups will be led by a professional local Group Leader and we use local guides at the various sites visited on the itinerary. This not only provides vital local employment, but also gives our travellers a real, genuine insight into local tradition, history and culture. In turn, it shows local people the importance of tourism to the region’s economy and encourages the preservation of archaeological sites and local traditions. Throughout this trip we stay in locally owned hotels and support the economy of the areas we are travelling through by dining in small, independent restaurants and buying supplies from local traders. Groups will also visit Pisac Market – a great place to buy souvenirs while directly supporting local trade.

Our Responsible Travel Code: Clients who travel with us will automatically receive a copy of our Responsible Travel leaflet. This contains details and advice on how you can make a positive difference when you travel. If you would like a copy in advance of travel please contact us.

Charity Partnerships: We work in partnership with Plan International, donating £5 to Plan for every client travelling with us to Peru. We will also match donations (up to £10 per person) made to Plan International by clients travelling with us to Peru. Plan is a humanitarian charity that works with some of the world’s poorest communities where three out of four children die before the age of five. We also support Friends of Conservation – an international charity committed to working with local people to develop a balance between their needs and the wildlife with which they share the natural habitat and ecosystems. Other charities that we work closely with include Born Free Foundation and The Travel Foundation, a UK charity that has been established to promote responsible travel practices throughout the whole of the travel industry.

Carbon Balancing: Global warming is a real issue and is a direct result of your travel. We have teamed up with Climate Care to give you the opportunity to offset the carbon emissions from your flight. You’ll be asked upon booking if you want to donate – with set amounts from £5. As a company we offset the carbon emissions from all staff travel in full.

Our Foundation: We’ve highlighted a few of the ways in which we offer our support, financially or otherwise, and now you can, too. We have set up our own foundation, which will administer funds donated by you. A small donation of £1 per person will be taken when booking a holiday and that money will be put to good use by one of our carefully selected projects. If you don’t want to make the donation, just tell us when you book.
