At Tunqui Expeditions, we’re more than just a trekking company—we’re passionate stewards of nature. Whether you’re hiking in the Andes Mountains, exploring remote Peruvian valleys, or navigating pristine rivers and trails, we believe every adventure should be rooted in respect for the environment and a deep connection to the land.
We understand the growing concern about the environmental impact of tourism. Irresponsible travel practices have damaged natural landscapes and disrupted local communities across the globe. In Peru and the Andes specifically, increasing foot traffic has led to waste buildup, trail erosion, and pollution in some of the world’s most breathtaking regions.
Our mission is clear: to offer unforgettable, eco-friendly trekking experiences while actively protecting the fragile ecosystems we explore.
As a leader in sustainable adventure tourism in Peru, Tunqui Expeditions proudly follows strict environmental guidelines on every expedition. We adhere to globally recognized principles such as Leave No Trace and our own “Clean As You Go” policy.
Our promise to the planet includes:
Eco-Conscious Training – All of our guides and team members are trained in sustainable trekking, wilderness ethics, and conservation-focused mountaineering.
Responsible Waste Disposal – We manage all waste on the trail, ensuring proper disposal and recycling whenever possible—especially of materials like oxygen cylinders and plastic containers.
Sustainable Equipment Practices – We follow the Reduce, Reuse, Recycle (RRR) philosophy by minimizing gear waste, reusing supplies responsibly, and choosing sustainable products for every journey.
Beyond daily practices, Tunqui Expeditions takes proactive steps to restore and clean the areas where we operate. Each year, we organize environmental cleanup expeditions in remote locations throughout Peru.
These campaigns are not a side project—they are part of our core mission.
We collaborate with local communities, tourism partners, and government environmental agencies, including SERNANP (National Service of Natural Protected Areas of Peru).
Our cleanup teams remove non-biodegradable waste, clean up trekking trails, and collect plastic bottles and wrappers left behind by careless travelers.
These efforts not only protect nature but also raise awareness and inspire fellow adventurers to travel more responsibly.
When you travel with us, you’re not just booking a tour—you’re joining a movement. We are dedicated to offering responsible tourism experiences in Peru that benefit both nature and local communities. Whether you’re trekking to Machu Picchu, summiting Ausangate, or discovering lesser-known trails, you can trust that your journey supports conservation and cultural respect.
We believe in a world where tourism uplifts rather than exploits. Where mountains, rivers, and sacred landscapes are treated as the treasures they are. Our goal is to ensure that every step we take today leads to a cleaner, greener, and more sustainable tomorrow.
