Our Peruvian partner responsible for operating this trip has been cited as the "BEST REGIONAL ADVENTURE TRAVEL AGENT" by the Peruvian Ministry of Tourism for three years in a row, and they share our goal to set the standard for sustainable, responsible tourism in the Andes, providing our customers with the very best in Adventure Travel.
On the Inca Trail, porters play an integral role in ensuring a successful and enjoyable trip. We is a member of IPPG (International Porter Protection Group) which is an organisation formed to protect the interests of porters against unscrupulous trekking companies and private trekkers and to raise the awareness amongst trekkers for the need to ensure porters welfare.
When runnning trips in the Amazon, we follow strict codes of practice to ensure minimum impact on this fragile environment. On arrival at the jungle lodge, clients will be advised of how they can make sure their actions do not have an adverse effect on the environment.
As a traveller, we believe that you have as important a role as we do. We believe that we provide a framework for Responsible Tourism but your choices and actions before, during and after your holiday have a considerable part to play.
We have at our UK offices worked to reduce our carbon footprint through a reduction of energy use and energy conservation measures. We also actively reduce the waste produced by having active reduction and recycling policies in place.
We run annual staff workshops on Responsible Tourism.
Global warming is a reality and to help you make a difference by reducing the carbon dioxide that is produced when you travel we offer a chance to carbon balance your flights. We encourage all our clients to do this and do so for all our staff travel. Go on do your bit!
This tour operator was the first to get access to China over 30 years ago and the first to take a truck to Everest Base Camp on the Tibetan side. They have since expanded into 91 countries. Their product is driven by their clients because they listen to feedback and have to constantly evolve to provide a greater experience and better value. The exclusive centres they use have been grown organically and are often owned by ex-leaders. The holidays remain innovative, though you will now be travelling in a Mercedes 16-seater sprinter coach rather than a rusty old Bedford overland truck.

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!
