More than just a visit, community tourism in Peru is an authentic encounter. It is a fair exchange that places you at the heart of daily life for Andean, Amazonian, or Lake Titicaca communities. By choosing this form of solidarity-based travel, you directly contribute to local development and the preservation of ancient cultures. You are no longer a spectator, but an active participant in traditions, crafts, and the management of exceptional natural heritage. This page is your guide to discovering where and how to experience this unique immersion, transforming your stay into an unforgettable human adventure.
Identify the type of immersion that suits you: agricultural life, crafts, ecotourism... Prioritize projects managed by or in close partnership with the communities themselves. Book in advance, preferably through a specialized and responsible local travel agency, which can guide you and organize the stay in respect of customs.
You are entering the intimacy of a village. Always ask for permission before photographing people. Dress discreetly and appropriately. Participate respectfully in the activities and ceremonies offered. Scrupulously follow the instructions concerning waste, water, and nature preservation.
Plan for warm clothes, a good sleeping bag if necessary, a headlamp, useful gifts for your hosts (school supplies), and above all, an open mind.
A basic level of Spanish is a great asset. Otherwise, the presence of a French- or English-speaking guide-interpreter is highly recommended.
This varies. Electricity and hot water are not always guaranteed. This simplicity is part of the authentic experience.
In a good project, the majority of the amount goes directly to the host family or the community fund, financing education, health, or infrastructure projects.

The villages in the highlands leading to Huchuy Qosqo offer an authentic gateway into rural Andean life.

These experiences, often linked to trekking agencies, allow sharing the daily life of families, understanding their relationship with the land, and appreciating the majesty of the landscape from a local perspective.
The true richness of the trek to Huchuy Qosqo lies in crossing isolated hamlets like Pucamarca, Patabamba, or Tauca.

The Q'eros (or K'eros) people are often referred to as the "last Inca ayllu". This community of about 2,500 people lives in isolation, at over 4,000 meters above sea level, on the slopes of the Vilcanota mountain range (Paucartambo province, Cusco). Having largely escaped Spanish colonization, the Q'eros have extraordinarily preserved their Quechua language, social organization, rituals, and worldview, which led them to be declared Intangible Cultural Heritage of the Nation by the Peruvian government in 2007.
They inhabit a territory ranging from 1,800 to 4,500 meters above sea level, allowing them to practice diverse subsistence agriculture: potato and oca cultivation at high altitudes, corn lower down, and raising llamas and alpacas in the puna. The community is organized into several villages (Hatun Q'ero, Hapu Q'ero, Qochamocco) under the leadership of a Curaca (chief), perpetuating the ancestral ayllu system and collective work.
The life of the Q'eros is imbued with the Andean cosmovision, based on the sacred principle of Ayni (reciprocity), which governs relationships between humans, but also with Pachamama (Mother Earth) and the Apus (mountain spirits). Their spirituality is expressed through complex shamanic rituals, offerings (despachos), and prophecies like that of Inkarri. They are also renowned for their textile craftsmanship, whose patterns tell their history and cosmology.
Altitude: Between 3,500 and 4,500 m in the main villages. Serious acclimatization in Cusco (2-3 days minimum) is imperative.
Ideal period: Dry season, from May to September, to avoid rains that make trails impassable.
Access and logistics: Access is difficult and demanding. The visit is almost exclusively via specialized community-based or mystical tourism tours lasting 2 to 4 days, including guide, muleteers, camping equipment, and meals. It is not recommended to go without prior organization.
Respect: This is a fragile culture. It is crucial to follow the guides' advice, to ask for permission to photograph people, and to approach the experience with humility and an open mind.
