Most of Peru’s main attractions – its archeological sites; its wildlife; the Andes Mountains and its Beaches & Surfing are managed in a relatively green and eco-friendly way.

There are a lot of great travel agencies with missions focused on sustainable and regenerative travel. A few NGOs also have programs for tourists, including Conservación Amazónica.

If you’re looking for a tour agency in Peru, take the time to search for one that aligns with your travel goals and priorities. There is a wealth of agencies in Peru and every year more of them are refocusing on sustainable travel.

Watch for tour agencies that latched onto “eco” as a marketing ploy. If you hire an agency that claims to be eco, ask what exactly that means for them. They might have reforestation projects and not use single-use plastic products on their treks, but they also might just have the word in their name for marketing.
