Making a Difference

Lima Tours is committed to the preservation and promotion of Peru’s cultural and natural heritage. Convinced that tourism can and must be a road towards the development of Peru, we established the Lima Tours Foundation, an expression of our institutional commitment and social responsibility. It was created to mobilize stakeholders to actively participate in the development of a Peruvian society in which culture, education, and equal opportunity for development are accesible to all. Among our projects are:

  • Huilloc Community: Towards a Better Life -- We are fostering a sense of community and identity in the Huilloc community. We empower the people by giving them the necessary tools to reach self-sustainability and affording them the opportunity to keep and be proud of their ancestral heritage.
  • Caral: Preserving Our Cultural Heritage -- We have played an active part in preserving the cultural heritage of Peru for the past five decades. We help with voluntary donations to enable study and conservation of the archaeological project at Caral, the oldest city in the Americas.
  • Pacaya-Samiria: Protecting the Environment -- We preserve the environment, encourage respect for local culture, and work for social and economic development.
