When going on adventure tours to Peru, the last thing you want is to negatively impact the landscape and ecosystems you have so far to admire. That’s why we at Travel Differently only work with sustainable, environmentally-conscious properties and activity providers.
We also carbon offset all of our trips at 150% of their estimated Carbon emissions in order to provide net positive holidays. Given the climate emergency, we do not offer trips shorter than 12 days to encourage clients to see more and travel for longer, reducing the need for multiple trips.
Many of our clients are embarking on holidays to Peru from the UK, which involves flying a considerable distance. To promote sustainability and enhance the travel experience, we encourage our clients to stay for longer and travel slower, using land-based transport throughout the country.
By allowing more time to immerse themselves in various destinations, we aim to reduce emissions associated with additional flights. In addition, we believe that embracing a slower approach to adventure travel in Peru enables you to truly relax and immerse yourself more in the destination, resulting in a more authentic and fulfilling experience.
At the heart of every adventure trip in Peru we offer is a commitment to fairer travel. We only collaborate with partners who actively engage and support local communities in the destinations we visit, ensuring that tourism benefits those living in the area.
Our carbon offset schemes also go beyond environmental benefits, as they work to reduce poverty, inequality, and reliance on fossil fuels.
We are experts in knowing how to travel better when it comes to luxury Peru holidays. Alongside our dedication to sustainability, we are passionate about crafting fully personalised, bespoke trips.
We prioritise getting to know each customer individually and providing them with direct contact with our founder. This ensures that every luxury holiday to Peru is meticulously tailored to match travellers’ distinct needs and interests, rather than offering a generic, one-size-fits-all package.

In Cuzco and the highlands, the dry season of May to October provides clear sunny days, albeit with quite a chill at night. November to March are the wettest months, with many trekking trails closed at its peak in January and February. The Amazon is hot and humid all year, with the hottest (up to 40c) and wettest season also November to March.
For the peak periods of June to September, as well as Christmas, we advise booking at least six months in advance as the best sustainable lodges and boutique hotels will become fully booked. For the rest of the year you may find availability up to two months before arrival, which provides more flexibility.
