Responsible and Sustainable Tourism

Kallpa Travel is Committed to Responsible and Sustainable Tourism

Kallpa Travel is more than a travel agency—it is a bridge between cultures, founded by a local Andean leader who believes in the power of human connection. With a deep understanding of Peru’s diverse landscapes and traditions, we design journeys that leave a positive impact on the Andean communities we work with. Our mission is to foster happiness and well-being, not only for our travelers but also for the people who make these experiences possible

Kallpa Travel is Committed to Responsible and Sustainable Tourism

At Kallpa Travel, sustainability is not a trend—it’s a way of life. We believe that travel should empower local communities, protect cultural heritage, and preserve nature for future generations. Kallpa Travel works with the Andean communities of Patacancha, Chaullacocha, and also collaborates with remote families from the Ausangate region and Puno.

Our approach to responsible tourism is built on the following principles:

Local Prosperity

We prioritize economic growth within the communities we work with by supporting locally owned businesses such as homestays, handmade alpaca-weaved textiles, and organic and sustainable food experiences. Through training programs, we empower hospitality providers to offer high-quality homestay experiences that meet international standards while maintaining their authenticity.

Community

Travel is about people. We create meaningful experiences that foster mutual respect between travelers and locals. By working closely with Andean communities, we promote social inclusion and ensure that tourism directly benefits local families, farmers, and artisans.

Cultural Preservation

We honor Peru’s rich cultural heritage by actively supporting initiatives that protect traditional practices, languages, and historical sites. Our experiences allow travelers to engage with indigenous traditions in a respectful and authentic way, helping to keep these cultures alive.

Local & Sustainable Food

We believe in the power of food to connect people and cultures. By partnering with local farmers, family culinary entrepreneurs, and local restaurants that prioritize organic and sustainable ingredients, we contribute to the preservation of traditional Andean gastronomy while reducing our environmental footprint.

Cultural Richness

Every destination has a story to tell. Our itineraries are designed to celebrate the diversity of Peru’s cultural landscapes, from ancient Incan traditions to contemporary artistic expressions. We encourage responsible interactions that enrich both travelers and host communities.

Responsible Travel

Sustainable tourism is about minimizing negative impacts while maximizing positive contributions. We promote responsible travel practices such as private tours, ethical encounters, and sustainable activities to ensure a better world to the future generations.

Nature

The Andean landscapes are a treasure we must protect. Our itineraries incorporate low-impact activities and encourage travelers to appreciate the environment with a sense of responsibility and respect.

At Kallpa Travel, we are committed to making tourism a force for good—creating journeys that inspire, connect, and give back.
