G Adventures Relaunches Trips in Peru

Trips to restart from March 1 in a bid to support local communities PLUS many departures on sale now!

 

Global community tourism pioneer, G Adventures, is delighted to be relaunching its operations in Peru from March 1, 2023. With supporting local communities at the heart of the business, the adventure operator has been poised to relaunch trips as quickly as possible to help support the many local communities and businesses in Peru that rely on tourism for income.

 

“The last few months have been very challenging in Peru, with local communities and businesses who were pushing to get started following the pandemic, being hit with another tourism dip. Our team on the ground has been monitoring the situation closely, including the reopening of Machu Picchu and the Inca Trail, to ensure we could relaunch as quickly as possible once safe to do so,” says Sarah Miginiac, G Adventures’ general manager for Latin America.

 

“With trips available across our Active, Classic, 18-to-Thirtysomethings, Roamies and Marine travel styles, there’s something for every type of traveler; from active lovers wanting to hike in the Andes, to wildlife aficionados looking to cruise along the Amazon waterways. Plus, with the usual closure of the Inca Trail in February, travelers will be able to hike the iconic trail after its annual maintenance. There will be some small itinerary adjustments in areas such as Puno while we continue to monitor the situation, but most of our itineraries will run as normal,” she continues.
