Community-based (“experiential”) tourism means sharing daily life with local families: cooking, weaving or joining respectful cultural activities — not only sightseeing.
Why Cusco?
Around the former Inca capital, many communities still practice ancestral skills. A well-organised visit supports livelihoods directly when fees and crafts go to hosts.
Examples of activities
- Weaving workshops and textile symbolism.
- Home-style cooking with local ingredients.
- Ceremonies led by community members — always ask permission and follow their guidance.
Travel responsibly
- Listen more than you speak; you are a guest.
- Buy crafts from the makers when possible.
- Stay flexible and curious.
