PERUVIAN SUNRISE SUSTAINABLE TRAVEL
Peruvian Sunrise promotes responsible travel to Peru, emphasizing sustainable tourism that respects our wonderful ecosystem while minimizing the impact on the environment and local culture.
Additionally, we strive to create both job opportunities and income for local communities.
Over the years, people and companies have increasingly begun to give more importance to the issues of environmental care and sustainability.
Indeed, this change is happening because we can see our planet is having problems like climate change, not enough water, floods, and wildlife extinction.
Consequently, this trend has extended to the field of eco-travel. Furthermore, an increasing number of tourism companies worldwide are embracing sustainable travel experiences.
Sustainable development involves activities that minimize environmental impact, further promoting ecotourism.
Simultaneously, travelers are starting to care more about the environment. Under those circumstances, they aim to lessen their impact on nature, support local businesses, treat animals kindly, and make sustainable choices such as using less plastic.
Therefore, as a direct result of our commitment to sustainability, we have achieved the Travelife certification.
Achieving the Travelife certification is a big step in improving sustainability in our business.
This certification strengthens the environmental integrity of our destinations, while also increasing customer satisfaction and improving the well-being of local communities.
Additionally, it contributes to the overall improvement in the quality of our services.

Local Communities
Urpis de Antaquillka
Leave conventional tours aside and get to know the cultural richness of the Cuper Bajo community through sustainable travel.
Cuper Bajo is an Andean community located 1 hour from Cuzco. In 2019, a mother from this community, Roxana Paucar, realized not only all the cultural richness they had to show the world but also their knowledge and skills for textiles inherited from Inca times, and that they could help bring bread to their home and give education to their children.
Following this, 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, both the strength and affection that exist in this town have allowed them to give their all to continue giving a warm welcome to visitors and creating their excellent-quality textile products.
In addition, they offer walks with llamas along the beautiful Piuray lagoon, from where they have amazing panoramic views; tours of the archaeological ruins; a performance of 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. Indeed, it is a rewarding experience for the soul.
So, 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?
Furthermore, if so, they offer the following experential activities for visitors:

You buy, we plant 🍃
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 both fruit-bearing and grassy. At the present time, Peruvian Sunrise has contributed by planting 2588 trees through donations.
With this intention in mind, 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 and after the pandemic, the Peruvian Sunrise team regularly visited schools in low-income areas to distribute essential supplies and gifts to children. Furthermore, we earnestly look forward to the day when we can resume these activities, bringing joy and hope to the little ones once again.
For this purpose, we've included a short video below from one of our past activities a few years ago.
