At Tunqui Expeditions, we believe that tourism should empower communities and create opportunities for growth. That’s why we work hand-in-hand with local entrepreneurs, helping them turn their talents, traditions, and dreams into sustainable businesses.
Through our programs, we support artisans, farmers, chefs, and small business owners from Andean communities by integrating their products and services into our trekking experiences. From handmade textiles to organic produce and traditional meals, each collaboration brings authentic cultural value to our tours—while also supporting local livelihoods.
By choosing Tunqui Expeditions, you are not only exploring the beauty of the Andes, but also contributing directly to the economic development of indigenous families and young entrepreneurs.
We are proud to walk this path together—towards responsible, inclusive, and community-driven tourism.
At Tunqui Expeditions, we are more than just a tour company—we are a movement for change. We proudly collaborate with local entrepreneurs from Andean communities, supporting their businesses while promoting ethical and sustainable tourism in the Sacred Valley and beyond.
Many of our collaborators are artisans, farmers, chefs, weavers, and small business owners from rural areas near Cusco. They bring their ancestral knowledge, creativity, and dedication to every experience we offer.
Whether it’s a home-cooked Andean lunch in a small village, handmade souvenirs on the trail, or fresh produce from a community garden, these partnerships help preserve cultural heritage while creating real economic opportunities.
Our work goes beyond tourism. Tunqui Expeditions invests in community-led projects that aim to improve quality of life and preserve local traditions. Some of our ongoing social initiatives include:
Educational Support: School supplies, workshops, and mentorship for children in remote villages.
Porter Welfare Program: Fair wages, health insurance, and proper equipment for porters—many of whom come from our own communities.
Women-Led Weaving Cooperatives: Supporting female artisans with fair pay and international visibility.
Reforestation & Clean-Up Campaigns: Promoting environmental stewardship among locals and visitors.
By traveling with us, you become part of these efforts—supporting not just a trip, but a vision for a better future in the Andes.
When you book a trek with Tunqui Expeditions, you’re not only exploring the majestic mountains and ancient paths of Peru—you’re also helping build a more inclusive and sustainable tourism model.
Discover our tours and be part of the change.
Together, we walk with purpose.
