We are a peruvian alternative travel agency that was created by CIAP and various handicraft organisations.
We try to promote a fair tourism which benefits directly to the local populations and integrates them in a participative approach into the tourist development, while minimizing the negative sociocultural and environmental impacts.
Through our varied offer of package tours and alternate activities, we offer the opportunity of discovering the incredible natural, cultural and arqueological diversity of Peru under various facets.
We encourage you to discover Peru in a spirit of exchange with your hosts. Discover new social and cultural experiences within the local communities by sharing their daily tasks, their costums and their traditional way of life.

 Juan Antonio Robles Toro y Sonia Cardo, España
"Pachamama ha supuesto para nosotros no sólo una manera diferente de ver Perú, sino una forma distinta de ver la vida. Disfrutamos mucho de las bellezas naturales y arqueológicas del país, pero sobre todo resultó muy interesante descubrir la solidaridad que existe entre la gente y su hospitalidad con el viajero. La atención recibida fue excepcional, así como la calidad de las excursiones y los tours turísticos. El precio ha sido muy competitivo y además al pertenecer esta agencia a un central de artesanos los beneficios repercuten directamente sobre la comunidad."
