When embarking on Peru luxury vacations with View Peru, it’s important to acknowledge the integral role played by the hardworking individuals who make the journey possible. Our dedicated team of porters is instrumental in ensuring a seamless and enjoyable experience on the Inca Trail and other routes, such as Machu Picchu, Salkantay, and Lares. At View Peru Luxury Vacations, we prioritize the well-being and welfare of our porters, going above and beyond to provide them with the care and support they deserve.
The Role of Porters:
Porters play a vital role in the Inca Trail, carrying the necessary equipment to make your trek comfortable and enjoyable. Without their assistance, reaching iconic destinations like Machu Picchu would be challenging. Unfortunately, not all companies treat their porters well. At View Peru Luxury Vacations, we recognize the importance of our porters and strive to ensure they are treated with respect and fairness.
Training and Support:
To enable our porters to perform their duties effectively, we conduct comprehensive training sessions twice a year. These training programs enhance their skills and enable them to provide exceptional service to our guests. Furthermore, we take a proactive approach to their overall well-being, providing necessary assistance and support in their daily lives. Our office staff regularly visit the porters, providing them with essential supplies, food, medicine, and even festive celebrations during national holidays and Christmas.
Community Engagement and Donations:
In addition to the direct care we provide to our porters, View Peru Luxury Vacations actively engages with the surrounding communities. We believe in giving back to the communities that support us. Last year, during the height of the Covid-19 pandemic, we launched a donation campaign in collaboration with our past guests. The campaign garnered an overwhelming response, enabling us to collect substantial donations that greatly assisted the affected families. With these funds, we purchased essential supplies such as food, medicine, and other necessities to support the porters and their families during the challenging times when tourism was halted.
Social Responsibility:
Our commitment to caring for our porters goes beyond fair wages and proper equipment. We prioritize their health and well-being, ensuring access to healthcare and necessary support systems for their families. Moreover, we actively engage in social projects aimed at enriching their lives and the lives of their communities. By providing opportunities for education and income, we contribute to the sustainability and independence of these communities.
At View Peru Luxury Vacations, we recognize the invaluable contribution of our porters to the success of our luxury Inca Trail experiences. By prioritizing their well-being, providing fair treatment, and actively engaging with their communities, we ensure a positive and meaningful impact on their lives.
