Through our commitment to responsible tourism, we ensure minimal social and environmental impact in the places we visit by travelling in small groups, using local transportation and staying in locally-owned hotels. We also work with experienced local guides who are knowledgeable of local culture, history, flora and fauna.
This tour offers several opportunities to visit projects supported by the Planeterra Foundation, a non-profit organization developed as a way to give back to the people and places we visit on our tours.
House of the People of the Sun – a drop-in center for street kids in Cuzco that offers support programs and workshops to teach the children valuable life skills.
Inka Porter Project (IPP) – strives to improve the lives and working conditions of porters in Peru. Through IPP you may have the opportunity to visit a porter community and learn more about how IPP are working to improve the lives of the porters we work with.
Hogar Sucre – is a home for over 50 orphaned children in Sucre, Bolivia. Children are provided with food, shelter, education, healthcare and workshops that develop workmanship skills. A visit to this project will allow you to spend time with the children and learn more about their programs.
When Bruce went travelling after University in 1989 he realised he had limited options: he could either go backpacking or stay on a resort. Returning to Canada, he set up a company that bridged the gap and offered young professionals an affordable way to immerse themselves in the culture of different countries. Bruce gave some of the profits back to the communities he passed through. Today he has offices in 38 countries and runs a travel foundation that builds projects all over the world; he is adamant that all staff adhere to his original business model of sustainability and happiness.
