LlamaExpeditions.com Launches Peru Tours & Machu Picchu Tours That Make a Difference

Travelers who crave an adventure off the beaten path have an exciting new option – with a philanthropic twist. 

Llama Expeditions (www.LlamaExpeditions.com) offers guided tours through Peru, from sightseeing to hiking the Inca trail. In addition to taking in the stunning scenery and experiencing incredible adventure, travelers connect to the country and its people through exclusive access and a chance to make a difference.

Founder Diane Valenti said "I decided that I wanted to provide more than the typical sterile tourist vacation packed with the usual attractions. Instead, our tours give you the opportunity to see how Peruvians really live—to talk with them about their dreams and accomplishments and to learn about the challenges they face. We also visit carefully selected nonprofit and grassroots organizations where you'll have the chance to experience delight in the difference your gifts of healthy food, school supplies, clothing, or sunglasses can make in the lives of some of the world's poorest people".
