SUSTAINABLE PERU TRAVEL
Peruvian Sunrise promotes responsible travel to Peru, focusing on sustainable tourism that respects our wonderful ecosystem while minimizing the impact on the environment and local culture.
Additionally, we strive to create job opportunities and income for local communities.
For some time now, people and companies have increasingly begun to give more importance to the issue of environmental care and sustainability.
This change is happening because we can see our planet is having problems like climate change, not enough water, floods, and wildlife extinction.
Indeed, this trend has extended to the field of eco travel, with an increasing number of tourism companies worldwide embracing sustainable travel experiences.
Sustainable development involves activities that minimize environmental impact, essentially promoting eco tourism.
Likewise, travelers are also starting to care more about the environment. They want to lessen their impact on nature, help local businesses, treat animals kindly, and make changes like using less plastic.
As a result of our commitment to sustainability, we have acquired the Travelife Certification.
Obtaining Travelife Certification is a big step in improving sustainability in our business.
This certification strengthens the environmental integrity of our destinations, but also increases customer satisfaction, and improves the well-being of local communities.
Additionally, it contributes to the overall improvement in the quality of our services.

At Peruvian Sunrise, we believe that more satisfying
than traveling is being able to help
while we travel.
Urpis de Antaquillka
Leave conventional tours aside and get to know the cultural richness of the Cuper Bajo community in depth.
Cuper Bajo is an Andean community located 1 hour from Cuzco. In 2019, a mother from this community, Roxana Paucar, realized all the cultural richness they had to show the world, as well as their knowledge and skills for textile inherited from Inca times, and that they could help bring bread to their home and give education to their children.
She began to teach her neighbors and the other women in her community, empowering and organizing them to create an association called Urpis de Antaquillka.
Although the pandemic affected them greatly, the strength and affection that exists in this town has allowed them to give their all to continue giving a warm welcome to visitors and creating their excellent quality textile products.
In addition, they make walks with llamas along the beautiful Piuray lagoon, from where they have amazing panoramic views; tours of the archaeological ruins, perform an Andean marriage with a local priest and typical costumes, as well as the option to enjoy a delicious meal made with ingredients from the area. Truly a rewarding experience for the soul.
And would you like to meet in person the women of this community who, with much affection, will open the doors of this small but cozy little town in the Andes?
If so, they offer the following activities for visitors:

Help us plant a better future
The social responsibility program "You buy, we plant" by Pachamama Raymi not only aims to preserve the environment but also seeks to have a socio-economic impact by creating opportunities for people in impoverished areas of Peru.
This initiative involves planting trees through donations from companies, which can be fruit-bearing or grassy. Peruvian Sunrise has contributed by planting 2588 trees through donations.
If you're interested in learning more about this project and helping us build a better future, we invite you to read this article.
Before the pandemic, the Peruvian Sunrise team regularly visited schools in low-income areas to distribute essential supplies and gifts to children. We earnestly look forward to the day when we can resume these activities, bringing joy and hope to the little ones once again.
Below, we've included a short video from one of our past activities a few years ago.
