Thank you for your understanding,
The RESPONS Team 

Travel RESPONSibly throughout Peru;
RESPONS now has offices in Huaraz, Lima and Cuzco!

Logo_frontWebThrough this website, we’d like to share our passion for sustainable tourism, and let you take part in the challenges sustainable tourism faces in Peru. RESPONS is a tour operator that offers you sustainable tourism products, and works hand in hand with local communities around Peru (offices in Huaraz - Lima - Cuzco), offering travellers innovative travel experiences in several destinations. RESPONS functions as a bridge between the tourism sector and local communities; that often need each other, but do not have the same business culture. More info about how RESPONS works can be found here

We would like to give you the opportunity to experience RESPONSible Travel first-hand, by offering you a wide range of sustainable tourism products throughout Peru. Our offer varies from primitive but highly intercultural homestays in Andean or jungle villages, to high-end mountain accommodations, from educative visits to artisans, to volunteering in villages, to trekking the Great Inca Route or through the jungle. RESPONS also offers strong educational programs that can be tailor-made to fit the educational goals. Please inform on our offer here, or use the menu on the right side to go directly to the RESPONSible destination that you are most interested in. For a map showing the locations of our sustainable tourism products, please click here.

RESPONS is continuously developing new sustainable tourism products within its philosophy in order to stay at pace with growing demand and changing needs amongst responsible travelers and the tourism sector in Peru and abroad. Our growing number of offices plays an important role in this strategy: we need to be close to our communities in order to help them best, but also to serve you, the RESPONSible Traveler, best in each destination of Peru. Our offices in Huaraz, Cuzco and Lima welcome you if you'd like to receive personalized information about your RESPONSible Trip through Peru.

Since one of our main goals is to spread knowledge on sustainable tourism and responsible travelling, our website contains much information on sustainable tourism (which will be continuously updated and expanded) and how you can travel more responsibly yourself. You can learn more about RESPONS here, and to get to know the people behind RESPONS, please click here.

If you are a business interested in the possibilities of working together with RESPONS, please check out our Business to Business section. Here you will find interesting information about RESPONS and its products, packages we develop and how we can develop tailor-made packages to meet your needs. With a password, you can even download PDF-versions of our standard packages directly from our website! Furthermore check out the FAQ-section that answers the typical questions tour operators ask about RESPONSible travel.

We hope you'll enjoy our website; please make full use of all its options. Apart from getting to know our offer and learn more about RESPONS and sustainable tourism, you can also send E-Cards or take a look at our RESPONS shop. Previous travellers and volunteers who have visited our projects, are leaving their messages in the Previous Travellers' Blog and the Previous Volunteers Blog, and on our Facebook page. We are looking forward to expanding our web-based services in the future; please check back!
