Empowering Women in Tourism
We believe and actively work in the empowering of women, by:
Supporting female entrepreneurs and community tourism leaders
Promoting women as tour guides
Creating experiences and content that celebrate the incredible contributions of Peruvian women—past and present
Doing research on gender focused related issues, products and creations
Communities we work with
Peru is home to hundreds of indigenous communities, preserving ancestral traditions in agriculture, cattle ranching, and craftsmanship. Their knowledge, from agricultural or textile techniques to Andean cosmology, represents invaluable cultural heritage.
Tourism can boost growth and competitiveness, but it must be approached with care, technical guidance, and balance — serving as a complement, not a replacement, to local economies.
