YOU CAN TRAVEL RESPONSIBLY

SEE HOW

Local Homestay

Peru is a country that is rich in history and culture. Experience it!

The Andean heritage is part of the rich culture that Peru has. On the remote floating islands in Lake Titicaca live small communities that share their way of life with travelers like us. Sustainably, they show us how they live off the land as their ancestors have done for hundreds of years. While it is the most popular, Lake Titicaca is not the only place that offers local homestays in Peru. Cusco and the Sacred Valley also offer local homestays giving tourists a unique experience.

Ethical Trekking

We want our travelers to take home wonderful memories and leave nothing behind.

Our goal is to bring travelers to Peru and give them a once-in-a-lifetime experience while supporting sustainable and ethical policies. Every year a growing number of people from around the world are eager to set foot on an Inca Trail journey - and we’re here to make it as memorable as possible. Our team works to ensure that our travelers embark on an ethically conscious journey that’s environmentally and culturally sensitive all while protecting the natural beauty that Peru has to offer.

Alternate Tours

The Amazon is a diverse place with many different cultures and environments, and we would like to keep it that way!

We feel it is important to support sustainability initiatives while also giving guests the opportunity to observe nature and local communities in a respectful manner. That’s why we work with a select group of ecological lodges in Peru that are dedicated to environmental protection, helping reduce the impact of tourism on the Amazonian rainforest.

Conservation

Explore the path less traveled, and feel rewarded!

In addition to its most famous ruins of Machu Picchu, Peru has so much more to offer. As you travel with us, you can rest assured that only the most experienced guides and accommodations will be used. We offer tours in each destination with local providers to give travelers off the beaten path experiences.

Ecotourism

Peru for Less is proud to have an environmentally friendly solution for all of our visitors.

We care about the environment, and we want to encourage more people to do so. An easy environmental principle to follow is the motto “reduce, reuse, and recycle” while traveling. We offer a variety of accommodations that are not only sustainable but also contribute to local communities in one way or another. Hotels that are environmentally friendly can be a great choice while traveling, as they are mindful of their impact on the planet every day.

The Peruvian economy

Tourism has been an important part of Peru’s economy for many years. It has played a critical role in reducing poverty for the past three decades. Peru is one of Latin America’s most popular tourist destinations, attracting millions of visitors every year. Tourism has grown even more as it has become an important source of income for rural communities around Peru, with many people making their living from providing services to tourists or working for companies in this field such as tour operators or hotels.

Local employment

Peru is a developing country with a large population and a considerable amount of poverty. We want to give back to Peru’s society and reduce the amount of poverty in our country. One way we can do this is by working directly with locally owned companies who support local employment. This ensures that they are able to give back to their communities while also contributing positively to the country’s economy and society.

Giving Back

Inspira is a non-profit organization that provides food and accommodation to children in Peru that are diagnosed with cancer or other rare diseases. They aim to make sure that no child in Peru with cancer or a rare disease abandons their treatment while encouraging conservation and community life. Peru for Less felt deeply inspired by the work of this organization. We have donated to Inspira to help them finish their new location so that they can continue to help even more children throughout Peru.

STAY TRAVEL CONSCIOUS

STAY TRAVEL CONSCIOUS AND FOLLOW THESE EXPERT TIPS

  1. Stay away from using single-use plastic such as straws and bags
  2. The Inca Trail has thousands of hikers each year, which creates a lot of waste. If you are hiking the Inca Trail or any trails, please pick up trash if you see any
  3. Please do not take pictures of people, especially children, without their consent. Respect ingenious people and local communities.
  4. Get off the beaten path! Hike alternative treks or visit lesser known cities in Peru
  5. Peru for Less has taken environmental initiative by giving all our adult travelers reusable water bottles in order to lower plastic water bottle waste.
  6. Our travel agency gifts all travelers tote bags. We recommend using them to avoid plastic bags and additional small plastic waste.
