About Sumak Sustainable Travel

We are a sustainable tourism platform that helps you find a local, ethical tour operator you can trust. Book your bespoke holiday to sustainable tourism destinations in Latin America. Sumak Kawsay means “good living” in Quechua: for us, it embodies the idea of caring for people, cultures and nature – principles that are key to true, sustainable development. So we want Sumak Travel to embody ‘good sustainable travel’. Imagine a better way of travelling. Not a mass-produced, hermetically sealed series of airport and hotel transfers and excursions that make you feel you are ‘doing’ a country, rather than actually visiting it. Imagine instead travel that is smaller scale, much more human, and therefore much more enjoyable and unique. You will see astonishing landscapes, take part in exhilarating experiences, learn about amazing cultures, and enjoy many magical moments. But you will be doing that with, rather than against the grain of the local people, their communities, and customs. You will in fact be the guest of the locals and that means your whole perspective will be different. We are a social enterprise that puts local communities and the environment at the centre of its model. Profits are reinvested into the business and into community-led, productive projects in Latin America.
