We are honored on this Peru vacation to share in the experiences and wisdom of Ruben Orellana, former Chief Archeologist of Machu Picchu and a renowned Shaman. Our commitment is to support Ruben’s dedication to the indigenous people of Peru.
We support a 'Leave No Trace' policy in all of our travels to minimize impact of the areas visited. We encourage our travelers to use water sparingly for showing and washing and to use environmentally friendly detergents and shampoos for hand and hair washing. We educate our guests to minimize packaging by encouraging the elimination of plastic and boxes prior to leaving for their Peru vacation.
Local artisans, local foods, and colorful local lodging provide travelers with an authentic Peruvian experience while supporting the people of this region. Specifically we support:
Local dance and cultural entertainment – Almost daily during our itinerary, we experience local music and dance. We encourage our travelers to help in preserving these ancient rituals through the purchase of artist CD’s so that the music will be passed on through the ages. Many of our travelers continue to enjoy the rich sounds of Peruvian flutes long after they return from their Peru vacation.
Local artisans – Our travelers are provided with the opportunity to learn, experience and visit with local artisans. From the weavers of the high Andes mountain regions to the ceramists famous for the colorful pottery of Peru, we gain insight into the ancient ways of creating art, the meanings and stories behind the art and the understanding of how these traditions are being preserved in the indigenous cultures.
Local communities – We provide support to local communities through the donation of clothing and school supplies. A special emphasis is on warm clothing for those communities situated above 12,000 ft elevation in the Sacred Valley. We encourage travelers on our Peru vacation to bring along donations of clothing and school supplies that are distributed upon arrival into Cusco.
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!
