Community Based Tourism

Meet Peru through the people who live here

Community-based tourism creates opportunities for travelers to experience Peru through locally rooted initiatives.

Depending on the destination, this might mean:

  • Sharing a meal with local hosts
  • Learning about traditional agriculture
  • Visiting artisan workshops
  • Experiencing local crafts
  • Walking with a community guide
  • Staying in community-based accommodation
  • Learning about traditional ways of life
  • Participating in locally organized experiences

These encounters can transform the way a traveler understands Peru.

More than a visit

A community should never be treated simply as a tourist attraction.

A meaningful community experience is based on:

  • Respect
  • Participation
  • Local knowledge
  • Authentic exchange
  • Economic opportunity

Our role is to connect travelers with experiences where local people are active participants rather than simply observers of tourism.
