Sustainable Tourism – Leading the Way with Champions Peru Travel

At Champions Peru Travel, we are committed to leading the way in sustainable tourism practices. Our objective is to design transformative journeys to Machu Picchu, the Sacred Valley, and the Peruvian Andes, while playing an active role in preserving the very landscapes and cultures that make these adventures possible. Each trek, whether the Short Inca Trail or Salkantay, is meticulously planned to minimize environmental impact, support local communities, and encourage travelers to contribute to a greater purpose beyond a mere vacation experience.

A Sustainable Exploration of Peru

We are committed to integrating sustainability principles into every phase of your journey. Our treks use eco-friendly camping gear, reusable water systems, and locally sourced produce to minimize waste and carbon emissions. We have eliminated single-use plastics on all expeditions and implemented waste separation at campsites to ensure that recyclables do not end up in nature.

Our commitment to environmental stewardship extends beyond the trail, encompassing active participation in tree-planting programs, high-altitude clean-up expeditions, and reforestation of native Andean species. These efforts ensure the continued beauty and sustainability of our trails for decades to come.

Investing in People, Not Just Places

We believe that sustainable tourism must benefit the local communities residing in these mountain regions. To this end, we employ local guides, chefs, porters, drivers, and office staff, offering fair compensation, training, and safe working conditions. Many of our team members are from remote villages, and your trip directly helps them provide education, healthcare, and opportunities for their families.

We also reinvest a portion of our profits into community development projects, including the construction of a free community library with internet access and the sponsorship of school materials, cultural workshops, and traditional weaving programs for younger generations.

Preserving Culture Through Connection

Sustainability isn't just about nature; it's about identity, too. We collaborate with local artisans, farmers, and cultural leaders to ensure that your trip includes authentic interactions, not staged performances. You may have the opportunity to learn traditional Quechua farming techniques, to share a Pachamanca meal cooked underground, or to witness age-old weaving methods still practiced in the Andes.

Our Vision for the Future of Tourism in Peru

We believe tourism can be a powerful tool for positive change, if it is implemented effectively. This commitment entails prioritizing people and the planet, while preserving the essence of discovery. At Champions Peru Travel, we are committed to leading the way in sustainable travel innovation, demonstrating that luxury, adventure, and responsibility can coexist harmoniously.

Exploration is best approached with a sense of curiosity and enthusiasm. Travel with purpose. Consider the possibility of establishing a legacy in Peru.
