Adventure World recently hosted seven travel advisors from Australia and New Zealand on an unforgettable famil to Peru, culminating at the world-famous Machu Picchu.

The immersive journey provided advisors with firsthand encounters of Adventure World’s MAKE TRAVEL MATTER® experiences as part of their Authentic Peru itinerary, showcasing the power of travel for positive impact.

MAKE TRAVEL MATTER® prioritises minimising tourism’s footprint while maximising its benefits. Advisors experienced authentic, ethical, and sustainable adventures that celebrate and conserve Peruvian heritage and culture. The experiences benefit local communities, protect wildlife and marine life, and safeguard the environment.

A Journey into the Heart of South America

The famil explored some of Peru’s highlights, including the pristine wilderness of the Amazon rainforest, the rich history of colonial Lima, the bustling markets and ruins of Cusco, and the crown jewel – Machu Picchu.

Highlights included: A visit to the Sacred Valley of the Inca and the work of the AMA Foundation in the village of Chinchero where master female weavers demonstrate traditional alpaca and llama wool dyeing and ancient weaving techniques; lunch at the AMA Foundation’s restaurant in Urubamba supporting community development with job training; and a cooking class at Mamá Seledonia’s in Cusco, where young single disadvantaged mothers are given employment opportunities to develop their master cooking skills in the kitchen delivering unique and exquisite culinary recipes.

“Adventure World’s genuine and caring approach to sharing Peru with their guests is incredible,” said Thea Bainbridge of Jamison Plaza Travel Associates in Australia. “The connection to the people, places, and food made this a truly special, once-in-a-lifetime experience. And my dream of meeting llamas at Machu Picchu came true!”

Jennifer Talbot of The Travel Brokers in Mt Maunganui, New Zealand, echoed the sentiment: “Peru with Adventure World exceeded all my expectations. Stunning scenery, immersive community experiences, rich culture and history, and amazing gastronomy too! I can’t wait to go back!”
