Welcome

Tired of the rushed, 20-cities-in-20-days tours where you get on-the-bus-then-off-the-bus and take a selfie in front of landmark #17?

Want to get to know what’s behind the landmark?

What the local people are like, how they live, what they eat, and what’s important to them?

Really immerse yourself in an authentic travel experience?

With the founding of Native Tours, we get to do what we love full time, live in harmony with nature, and give back to the local communities that make Peru so special.

-Karen Vergara (Founder)

We are a sustainable community-based tour operator offering authentic excursions that foster an appreciation for environmental and cultural conservation. We believe that responsible tourism can improve the lives of travelers as well as the people and places they visit, allowing the local communities to prosper while safeguarding the rich ancestral heritage that makes them so unique and attractive.

Latin America’s landscapes range from majestic glacial mountains to lush tropical rainforests, from cascading waterfalls to soothing hot springs, from rushing rapids to meandering rivers.

It shelters the loquacious scarlet macaw, the charming emperor tamarin monkey, the sleek and stealthy jaguar, the rare white caiman, the silky chinchilla, fleecy llamas, and the scholarly spectacled bear.

It is home to the genuine provincial quinoa farmer, the pan flute musician with his poignant ancestral melody, the textile weaver with her brightly-colored native dress, and the exotic daughter of an Amazon River Basin tribe.

Here you can savor flavors from the ripest, sweetest, sunset-orange papaya picked straight from the tree or a mouthwatering feast prepared by a world-famous chef.

Here, you can experience the wonders of the region personally and privately. You can feed your soul, be inspired, be generous, learn.
