Experiential Tourism
Experiential Tourism
The ancient Peruvian cultures like Chavin, Paracas, Waris, Tiahuanaco, and the imposing Inca empire left costumes and traditions deeply rooted in the lifestyle of today’s Andean and Jungle communities. The Uros floating islands in Lake Titicaca, some High-Andean communities in the Sacred Valley of the Incas in Cusco, and the jungle Ashanincas and Shipibos are some examples of communities that are willing to share their houses, uses, and customs, as well as traditions from their rich past to visitors like us. A unique and unforgettable experience!
Sustainable Trekking
Sustainable Trekking
Our desire is to share the love for nature with travelers coming from abroad applying sustainable and ethical policies. Every year, many enthusiastic trekkers arrive in Peru with the hope of beginning their adventure on the famous Inca Trail or the Salkantay Trek, without mentioning the trek in the world’s fourth-deepest canyon among others and we are attentive to making those memorable wishes as possible. Machu Travel Peru works so that these adventures go hand in hand with ethics, environmental awareness, and being culturally sensitive, to protect the beauty of the places to visit and ensure a clear conscience at the end of the experience.
Alternative Tours
Alternative Tours
Diversify experiences by decongesting traditional routes and giving way to sustainable initiatives throughout the Amazon and the Peruvian Andes.
