Peruindepth is the official website of Ayni Peru Tours or APT, a travel and tour social enterprise which specialises in guiding travellers into the very depths of Peru while assuming its social role of protection of the environment and the livelihoods of destinations. We promote a style of travel which is environmentally, culturally and socially responsible.

We not only  promote the fascinating and historical places of Peru, but also share the expertise of the Peruvian people with other people of the world. That includes protection of the environment, management of resources, Peruvian cuisine, handicrafts, dance, music, sports and other similar activities.

We are an ethical enterprise which aims to do the right things to-day and tomorrow. We put human beings and the environment at the centre of our work. We respect human rights and support the movement for sustainable development, social justice, fair trade and international solidarity and peace while promoting the cultural and social development of Peru. We are committed to do our best to support all initiatives to alleviate poverty in Peru and we invite travellers to join us in that task. We situate ourselves as a progressive enterprise that promotes an alternative, social and eco tourism based on the principles of respect to the environment and the culture and traditions of the Peruvians and the meetings of peoples of different backgrounds. We encourage travellers to join in social and educational activities, and live with Peruvian families during their visit and participate in their daily lives which includes cooking, eating, singing and dancing with them while visiting the fascinating places of Peru.
