Community Development and Cultural Immersion Programs 

We have worked over the past nine years to develop relationships with people that still practice very traditional ways of living. We believe that it offers our customers the chance to experience different cultures, while providing new opportunities for the people. Many of our tours offer opportunities to experience their cultural, and sometimes they will be working as support staff on your trip. Also, we have worked to develop programs that allow you to become immersed in a traditional community. You can choose to live and work with these people truly creating a unique cultural exchange. Some of your daily tasks could include farming, cooking, and traveling with the people. Also, on some of our trips it will be noted that there is an opportunity for a small donation of school supplies or clothes.  There are many exciting opportunities for learning about and supporting local traditional communities. Please, contact us for more information.

Environmental Impact 

All of our tours and treks are designed to have a minimal environmental impact. This can include different cook methods, packing out the group’s waste, and taking less invasive routes. On all of our Inca Trail trips 100% of the groups waste is removed and many other trips all non-bio degradable waste is removed. Also, all of our guides will talk about the local environment and some of the challenges facing it. The guides all work to minimize the group’s impact and to share their knowledge of it. You will possible see many different species of plants and animals while on your trip. It is the responsibility of all us to protect the environment around us for future generations.
