Mother Earth Tours, aims to provide good customer service that is firmly rooted in Cusco. We employ local people and try to compete against the big foreign “monster” companies so prevalent in Cusco. Buying a trek directly with our tour company benefits the local economy more than booking with a company in your own country. At Mother Earth Tours we strive to protect the natural environment and the local people’s traditions as well as providing for their future welfare.

Our ideology, is to give travelers an insight into the Andean way of life. So you can return to your countries having learned a little bit about our life, customs and beliefs. To us, our Andean religion, ideology and ancestral beliefs are not just part of our heritage, but an important part to our daily lives.
Mother Earth Tours, is located in Cusco, the ancient capital of the Incas. This means that we have outstanding local knowledge that allows us to provide tours that give visitors a unique experience in and around the Cusco area. We want you to take as much pleasure in this beautiful country as we do and due to our passion for the culture and people, we believe we make this possible! |

Our Mission: At Mother Earth Tours our goal is to preserve the earth for future generations by encouraging our clients to put in what they take out. We aim to provide socially responsible opportunities for individuals and groups interested in global awareness, adventure and love of the outdoors, while providing a level of service that exceeds your expectations. We are committed to small groups, carefully thought out itineraries, and trained professional leaders.
Sustainable Tourism: When visiting other countries (especially developing countries like Peru) it is virtually impossible for an outsider not to have some impact on the local people or community. At Mother Earth Tours we actively practice sustainable tourism by giving a degree of income back to the native communities. Our goal is to be culturally and ecologically responsible of nature and Peruvian heritage thereby lessening the negative impact that tourism can have on a community and the environment.
The way in which we work and interact with a community is of extreme importance to us. We take special care that our porters and staff receive the best treatment. It’s also important that you, as a visitor to a country, get to know the real people, places and traditions of the regions you are visiting, that you participate in these traditions, not just stand back and observe them.
Mother Earth Tours is an environmentally aware company, and we try to empathize with local communities over environmental issues and projects. When camping, we remove all waste to ensure that the environment is left in the same pristine condition in which we found it. It is vital for us to impart to the locals the importance of using biodegradable materials and the necessity of recycling. We try to buy locally (and where possible organically) produced goods in order to lessen our carbon footprint and to stimulate growth in the local economy. Sustainable tourism is key to improving the standard of living, while preserving the traditional ways, of the peoples living in the surrounding regions. We seek ways to benefit our neighbors, and the environment, with projects that our clients, can participate in during the course of their journey to our beautiful country. |
