Our Social Projects
Living Andean heritage
Llamas, livelihoods and community knowledge
At Nomad In Peru, we are passionate about giving back to the local communities of the Cusco region, supporting the families and villages that allow us to use their land for trekking and camping, and promoting locally owned and operated businesses. Each year, we organize numerous charity events for a variety of local communities. People living in the mountains often lack access to regular workshops on sustainable llama management and breeding.
What the project works toward
Four connected priorities
Artisan traditions
Weaving and fiber-use training for women artisans.
Environmental education
Learning opportunities for children about conservation and Andean heritage.
Responsible encounters
Experiential tourism that respects local traditions and cultural knowledge.
Looking ahead
A space to share and protect Andean heritage
This project aims to empower families dedicated to llama breeding; enhance the genetic quality of their herds; provide weaving and fiber-use training for women artisans; support the direct generation of income for herding families; and offer educational programs for children focused on environmental conservation and the cultural significance of llamas in Andean history. It also seeks to promote responsible experiential tourism, preserve the traditions associated with these iconic camelids, and ultimately attract more tourists seeking experiential and cultural activities.
