Sumaq Ñawi was born from years of building genuine relationships with families, artisans and communities across Peru. Rather than creating experiences around destinations, we create them around people. Every journey is an invitation to slow down, learn through participation and experience Peru through the relationships that make each place unique.

Absolutely.

We're always open to collaborating with people and organisations who share our values of human connection, cultural exchange and meaningful travel.

Whether you're a retreat facilitator, educator, artist, photographer, researcher or simply have an idea for creating an experience in the Andes or the Peruvian Amazon, we'd love to hear from you.

Every collaboration begins with a conversation. Together, we can explore how to create an experience that is authentic, respectful and deeply connected to the communities we work alongside.

We believe that transparency is an essential part of building trust.

Once your journey has been designed or your place in ROOTED is confirmed, you'll receive a clear breakdown of everything that's included, with no hidden costs or unexpected fees.

To make planning easier, we also offer flexible payment options. A deposit secures your place, and the remaining balance can be paid in instalments leading up to your departure. We'll always work with you to find a payment schedule that feels comfortable and manageable.

Rather than asking you to choose from a catalogue, we take the time to understand what inspires you, answer your questions and guide you through the process from beginning to end.

From our first conversation to the moment you arrive in Peru, you'll have direct, personal support. We believe that creating meaningful experiences begins long before the journey itself.

Our experiences are designed for curious travellers who value meaningful human connection, cultural exchange and slower ways of exploring Peru. No previous experience is required—only openness, respect and curiosity.

Every experience is built through long-term relationships with the families, artisans and community leaders who collaborate with Sumaq Ñawi. We work together to create experiences based on trust, respect and mutual benefit, ensuring that cultural exchange remains genuine and meaningful for everyone involved.

Absolutely. Many participants join on their own, and our small group experiences naturally create a warm and supportive environment where genuine friendships often emerge.

Accommodation varies depending on the journey. This may include carefully selected lodges, family homes within local communities or mountain camps during trekking experiences. Each stay has been chosen to offer an authentic and meaningful experience while ensuring comfort appropriate to the location.

You can reach us anytime via our contact page or email. We aim to respond quickly—usually within one business day.
