1.- Climate Action (Green Mountains)

We are a small travel Company with a big heart and always being part for a better world, since 2023, we have joined reforestation projects in the Historical área of Machu Picchu and Inca trail,  and our PERU BY LOCALS team has planted 300 trees so far, prioritizing native species that will allow Machu Picchu environment to thrive. A few of those species include Qeuña tres (Polylepis spp), Tara trees (Caesalpinia spinosa)

We are Building a Better Planet

We have only one home, it’s called planet Earth and we are here to protect it.

Deforestation has been affecting the whole world and we want to stop it, we want to créate new forests to help our wonderful world to breathe again, we plant trees where the wild fairs destroyed the old forest to make into a beautiful forest which can bring more wildlife as well, our goal is to increase more plantation of new trees in protected áreas as well as keep working with local communities to keep foresting their áreas.

Do you Want to Help us to Plant a Tree?

Come with us and leave a tree for life in this beautiful planet.

PERU BY LOCALS has created a program where you can participate in this project, we take you to the forestation área so you help us plant trees and this can be done in a day trip from Cusco or Sacred Valley,  while you take a trip to Machu Picchu, add a  day trip with us on this amazing experience as well as enjoy the beautiful scenario for the Andes mountains.

2.- Community Social Projects

Peru by Locals was established by an ex Inca trail porter and a current tour guide  along the Inca trail to Machu Picchu, Jose Condor, born in a native village Huayllaccocha, near de sacred valley, where life was hard while growing up. He decided to start Peru by Locals inspired by the native-Quechua people to give back to the communities, Since Peru by Locals started the operations, we do social works supporting schools in mountain villages. We focus our projects on the education of children, providing them school supplies, hygiene supplies, books and other educational needs. We focus our projects in the village called Willoc located in the Sacred Valley – the school has children from kindergarden to elementary school, aged from 4 to 11 years.

When you book with us any trek or tour, you are a part of our projects because trusting us is making possible to keep creating better education for the ones that need it the most – without your help this would be impossible. Apart from providing you life lasting experiences, we use part of your money for giving back to the communities.

We are proud to be able to give back to the communities and help to improve the education of the natives because we believe they are the future of our country, and this is only possible because of all of our guests.

Giving them courses about identity – when we help the children with education in the communities, we need to encourage them to keep practicing their traditions and keep speaking Quechua as their mother language, which was even spoken by their ancestors, the Incas encouraging them to learn English, because Cusco’s economy is based on tourism – we would like many of those kids to be part of our team one day, we would like to have them as tour guides when they grow up, because the best tour guides are LOCALS – they know how to transmit the history, their traditions with passion.

How can you Help?

When you book with us, you are already involving yourselves in Our Social Projects, since part of our income go to buy supplies for these schools that need all the tools to learn, but we buy them also tooth brushes, warm fleeces and similar stuff.

We invite you to be a part of these projects – we also created little program basically to take you to the school to spend some time with the kids playing, teaching them your games or any skill you have to share with them – they will love it and be very grateful for everything they learn.

Do you Come to Willoq and the School With Us?

Our cultural immersion program is the best way to connect you with the locals of the Mountains,  Their textile art is one of the oldest textile traditions of the World and it became one of the most developed during the time of the Incas due to the use of different materials and techniques (result of its hybrid culture gained from the conquests of others) ethnicities. The Incas were able to produce a variety of clothing and everyday items.

The Andean textiles are an open book of codes, symbols, and information, it was used in the Andes as a form of writing or language made-up of visual metaphors that convey cosmology and cultural patterns, the Women in Willoq are just amazing weavers and now they are able to show you all that in our.

In our immersion programs, you have also the chance to visit the local school and share some time with the kids, it is very recommended especially when you travel with your own kids to show them the education in the mountains because they will have the chance to interact with them learn from each other.
