North Peru luxury tailor made tour

Planet

CARBON REDUCTION:
As with all our luxury holidays, this itinerary has been designed to ensure that it positively impacts the planet. We encourage travellers to fly only when destinations are farther away and to book non-stop flights where possible. In addition, we encourage travellers to slow things down by staying longer in one destination rather than taking multiple short trips each year.

We also make a special effort to recommend accommodation providers who take steps to protect and conserve the landscape for generations to come. We likewise make sure the tour operators we use to explore the land do so in responsible ways. For example, KiChic Hotel used/uses only sustainable and natural materials in its construction, like eucalyptus wood and adobe, as a way of respecting the environment.

ENVIRONMENT AND WILDLIFE:
When in wildlife conservation areas, we select lodges that are committed to conserving the environment, and that are dedicated to sustainability and responsibility. For example, Gocta Andes Lodge has placed special emphasis on the rational use of electricity and water, as well as reducing plastic use.

People

LOCAL ECONOMY:
We promote small owner-run businesses that not only hire locally but also give back to the area’s communities.

We likewise recommend accommodations that support the local communities. For example, Hotel B has an on-site local Deli, providing and supplying local produce and home-cooked Peruvian delicacies, and it also showcases local artwork. On the other hand, nearly 90% of the employees at Gocta Andes Lodge are from the district of Valera and neighbouring provinces. As a result, the lodge has been able to give more employment opportunities to a region that historically had none.

EMPLOYMENT, INCLUSIVITY AND DIVERSITY:
All the local guides referred to in this itinerary are local staff and are paid fair salaries. We believe it is vital to use local guides, as it offers a more authentic travel experience and generates local income. The guides that we use have incredible knowledge of the history, landscape, and people within Peru, meaning they’ll explain in greater depth the varied eco-system and different communities living within the areas that you’ll see during your trip.
