On December 18, 2024, Inca Peru Travel proudly received the CALTUR Trekking Certification, an official recognition that confirms our commitment to quality, safety, and sustainability in tourism. This certification is a milestone in our journey as a certified travel agency for the Inca Trail in Peru, reflecting our dedication to providing exceptional trekking experiences that meet national standards.
The CALTUR Trekking Certification is granted by Peru’s Ministry of Foreign Trade and Tourism (MINCETUR) as part of the National Tourism Quality Plan (CALTUR). Its purpose is to ensure that trekking operators comply with rigorous quality, safety, and environmental management standards.

Compliance with official regulations for tourism operations in Peru.
Trained and qualified guides with extensive experience in trekking and cultural interpretation.
High safety standards for all trekking activities, including emergency protocols.

Show commitment to sustainable development in the destinations they operate.
By meeting these requirements, Inca Peru Travel stands among a select group of trekking operators officially recognized by the Peruvian government.
