This Andean holiday experience aims to present the diversity of Peru and some of Bolivia to our clients. The varied modes of transport, different standards of accommodation, and variety of excursions give clients insight into the many cultures of Peru and Bolivia. The utilisation of local transport gives our tours a rustic feel while supporting the local Economy. For example, travelling to the Amantani Islands on local canoes allows clients to view their surroundings in an environmentally non – invasive manner.
Through utilising such locally owned and operated services, we ensure the money generated in the region goes straight back into the community. The operation of the canoes are governed entirely by the indigenous people. This means that this community knows how many people are on their islands at any one time and are free to make decisions in regard to this matter, always maintaining a genuine concern for their fellow inhabitants.
Carbon Offset Scheme:
Working in partnership with international conservation charity World Land Trust in our continuing quest to establish and maintain our position as a leader in responsible travel, we are offering a new way for our travellers to make a real contribution to the health of the planet - the Carbon Offset Scheme.
World Land Trust is a not-for-profit, international conservation organisation that takes direct action to save rainforest and other biologically important lands. Since it was founded in 1989, it has helped local conservation organisations to purchase and protect over 375,000 acres of threatened habitats in Asia, Europe and Central and South America. There are many organisations offering carbon offsetting services, however we believe that World Land Trust has the most scientifically sound approach and socially responsible philosophy.
When you book your tour with us you will be able to offset a portion of your share of the carbon emissions created while you are on your tour. We will calculate what clients have donated, and donate an additional 10% of the total to World Land Trust. So the more you contribute, the more we can give! We will also absorb all processing fees associated with these payments, so there’s no administration cost to World Land Trust and they can spend the money donated where it counts - protecting threatened habitats worldwide.
What Will Happen to the Contributions?
World Land Trust will fund projects on your behalf through their Carbon Balanced programme, which reduces the amount of damage carbon emissions are doing to the environment. We will not profit from your carbon offsetting donations. Your contributions will be made directly to World Land Trust and we will not receive any direct financial benefit or commission from these donations.
We invite every traveller who books a holiday via us to send in a review. Because we don't run the holidays they're completely independent and unedited... remember to read between the lines though, as two people on the same holiday can have different views!
