Sustainable Travel with Purpose and Care

As a responsible and ethical travelers, it’s important to consider the impact that our travel choices have on the environment and local communities. Sustainable travel is a way to make a positive impact and preserve the places we love to explore for future generations. At SAM Travel Peru, we believe that sustainable travel should be accessible and achievable for all. Here are some tips on how to travel sustainably with purpose and care in Peru:

• Choose eco friendly transportation: When possible, choose eco-friendly modes of transportation such as trains, buses, or bikes. These options have a lower carbon footprint and allow you to explore your destination in a more environmentally friendly way. If you do need to fly, consider purchasing carbon offsets to offset the carbon emissions from your trip.

• Support local businesses: One of the best ways to support sustainable travel is to support local businesses. Look for locally owned accommodations, restaurants, and tour operators that prioritize sustainability and the well-being of the local community. By supporting local businesses, you can help to create a positive impact on the local economy and promote sustainable tourism.
• Reduce your waste: When you travel, it’s easy to accumulate a lot of waste. Bring reusable water bottles, shopping bags, and utensils to avoid using single-use plastics. Say no to straws and avoid littering. You can also choose eco-friendly products such as sunscreen, toiletries, and insect repellent that are free of harmful chemicals and microplastics.
• Respect local cultures: When you travel, it’s important to be respectful of local customs and traditions. Learn about the local culture and history, dress appropriately, and be mindful of your impact on the environment and local communities. Avoid any activities that exploit animals or local people, and always ask for permission before taking photos.
• Leave no trace: When you travel, it’s important to leave no trace behind. Always take your trash with you and dispose of it properly. Be mindful of your impact on the environment and wildlife by not disturbing natural habitats or vegetation.
• Get involved: Consider volunteering with local organizations or supporting local conservation initiatives. This is a great way to give back to the community and make a positive impact on the environment.
