The Peru Grand Travel

Peru Grand Travel is a local company with its office located in Cusco. All of our staff is from Cusco. All of our tour guides are from the Cusco region, with the majority coming from villages in the surrounding countryside. Our porters have been carefully selected from one community in a mountain village outside of Cusco. We employ about 50 permanent porters and another 30 are employed as needed. For details of the pay and treatment of our porters, see our Porter Welfare page. Where possible, we purchase equipment locally. Obviously all fresh produce and food is bought at local markets and small shops. Camping equipment, such as dining tents, kitchen tents, porter backpacks, duffle bags, porter jackets, biodegradable soap are all produced in Cusco. Porter's shoes and back support belts are made in Lima. Our tents and sleeping bags are manufactured by Nikko. Therefore, about 99.99% of all income remains within Peru.
