Responsible Tourism:

We also contribute to conservation efforts and the welfare of the communities which we work with.
Sustainable tourism

¿How do we give support to these communities?
- •For many communities in Peru, tourism has become an important part of their economic activity and development. We are committed to train and guide them, so that they can provide better service to their visitors.
- • Generally, these communities open the doors of their homes for tourists.EXPLORE ADVENTURES Peru gives financially support and help implement improvements in their own homes. These gives them better life conditions and in turn give more facilities for visitors. Projects are supervised from start to finish by our team.
- • We train individual members of the community to fulfill various functions within our travel logistics. They have been selected for their high responsibility, willingness to learn and succeed. Today, they make up much of our staff joining us to our various hiking routes, consolidating the EXPLORE ADVENTURES Peru team.
- •We lead volunteers to do work in these communities. These are experiences that enrich both the community and individuals seeking to support those who need it most.
