At Ahimsa Travel Club, we believe that travel should nourish the soul, respect the planet, and celebrate cultures with kindness at the core. That’s why we’re beyond excited to invite you on our Vegan Tour of Peru — a journey through breathtaking landscapes, vibrant culinary traditions, and deep-rooted cultural wisdom, all experienced through a plant-based lens.
🌿 Why Peru?
Peru is a land of contrasts: ancient and modern, mystical and grounded, lush and rugged. It’s also a rising star in the global plant-based movement, thanks to its incredible biodiversity, superfood-rich agriculture, and a new wave of chefs reimagining tradition through a compassionate lens. This tour is your chance to experience Peru’s magic without compromising your values. In fact, you'll be traveling because of them.
Let’s take a look at some of the unforgettable places we’ll explore together:
🏙️ Lima: The Vegan Food Capital You Didn't Know About
Lima is more than Peru’s capital — it’s a world-class culinary destination. The city’s plant-based scene is exploding, with innovative restaurants using local, organic ingredients to reimagine classic Peruvian dishes without animal products. We’ll dine at vegan hotspots where quinoa ceviche, mushroom anticuchos, and creamy lucuma desserts are just the beginning.
But food is only part of the story. In Lima, we’ll walk through the artistic Barranco district, visit coastal ruins older than the Incas, and connect with sustainability advocates who are reshaping how Peruvians think about food and farming.
🏔️ Cusco: Gateway to the Sacred Valley
Stepping into Cusco feels like walking between worlds. Once the heart of the Inca Empire, this city is a living museum of stone streets, colonial facades, and pre-Columbian energy. Here, we’ll slow down and acclimate while connecting with indigenous traditions, including a special plant-based Andean cooking class using ingredients like oca, mashua, and native potatoes.
You’ll have time to explore markets bursting with color, meet local artisans, and participate in spiritual practices that honor Pachamama (Mother Earth)…a natural alignment with our values of compassion and sustainability.
🏞️ Machu Picchu: A Sacred Experience
Of course, no trip to Peru is complete without visiting Machu Picchu, the awe-inspiring 15th-century citadel nestled high in the Andes. But this won’t be just a bucket-list photo op — it will be a mindful immersion.
We’ll journey together with intention, respecting the sacredness of the site while reflecting on what it means to travel gently in places of deep historical and spiritual significance. The breathtaking ride is rewarded by the serene power of this ancient wonder, where you’ll have time to explore, breathe, and just be.
💚 Why a Vegan Tour?
Because Ahimsa means compassion — and that includes our plates, our choices, and how we move through the world. This tour is designed for conscious travelers who want to experience the richness of Peruvian culture while honoring animals, the environment, and local communities. Every meal, excursion, and connection is thoughtfully planned to reflect our values of non-violence and mutual respect.
We can’t wait to explore it with you.
