Our vision is to be a market leader in adventure tourism within the region, while still investing in local communities. We have intimate knowledge of the country and it's culture. We are different as we have lived, worked and called this beautiful continent home. Unlike many other operators, we have never cancelled a tour. Tours will go ahead irrespective of group numbers. <br/><br/><br/>Chimu employs Local guides and local support staff. We support sustainable tourism and work with NGO's in Peru and the other countries we operate to help further develop vital infrastructure for small communities. We believe in community trade and work with small independent hotels and businesses,which provide all of our needs on tour.<br/><br/>With operations in Australia, Europe and The Americas we are always close by no matter where you are. Our frequent information nights will give you the opportunity to meet our staff and guides face to face.<br/><br/>We cater for all people, and over 55's are very welcome on our tours. Our trips are about experiencing culture, and having a "sense" of adventure - this doesnt mean our tours are for extreme sports people or mountain goats! Its your tour which we can tailor for YOU!<br/><br/><br/>We are a registered Australian Company (ABN: 65 110 269 380) and licensed travel agent (NSW 2TA5968). As a registered operator we are also fully bonded members of the Travel Compensation Fund which is a fund that ensures our customers money is held safely giving peace of mind. This is a requirement of us under Australian law. Please always check that any tour you book has the same level of bonding and protection to the consumer.<br/> Chimu and the Local Community Chimu Adventures was a company set up with the vision to support and help develop local communities within Latin America. Chimu Adventures annually donates a portion of its profits to local communities, assisting them with local community projects. Local communities are selected on the basis of their needs and ambitions.<br/><br/>We are currently working with Project Peru, A UK based Non Government Organization which runs an orphanage in Zapallao in the shanty town outskirts of Lima. Project Peru also support other projects see the link on our main page for details on their work. We can organise a visit to the orphanage as part of your trip to Peru, or if you have any time or skills to volunteer we would like to hear from you!<br/><br/>We are a company with a strong agenda to work with the local community and to work to improve everyday life for all people in Latin America and the world at large.<br/><br/>Chimu adventures uses environmentally friendly practices where possible and the company operations are now carbon neutral. We also allow customers to make their tours carbon neutral (selected tours only).<br/>

Established since 1983, Kumuka, whose name originates from Africa, and translates in to ‘the start of a journey’, has taken travellers to many parts of the globe, offering an extraordinary range of trips. Beginning with one expedition vehicle and a Trans Africa tour, we have steadily extended and broadened our operations, which now include tours to Africa, Asia, Antarctica, Latin America, North America, Europe and The Middle East. As Kumuka has grown so do the expectations of it’s clients, and we continue to be true to our roots, catering for all manner of travellers united by a single desire: to experience their holiday to the maximum.

In 1990 Bruce Poon Tip launched G.A.P Adventures with the belief that other travellers would share his desire to experience authentic adventures in a responsible and sustainable manner. We've grown from a one-man show to a company of over 500, and from a handful of trips in Latin America to hundreds of adventures spanning the globe... and beyond! Over 85,000 travellers experience the real world with us every year. What hasn't changed is our passion for making sure you get behind the scenes to experience the real world in an authentic and sustainable manner.

Privately Owned & Passionate We could tell you that we've been operating tours for 24 years and that we offer 6 styles of travel in 74 countries and this would all be true but if you're reading this profile to get a real feel of our company we 'd like to tell you what we think is important when you travel with us.<br /><br /><br />We hope that we're able to .....<br /><br />.. Design an itinerary that shows you enough of a destination to experience it but not too much that you felt rushed through it.<br /><br />.. That we made you feel at ease with the local culture so much that you wanted to speak to the local people and learn more about their lives.<br /><br />.. That you come home feeling as if you took on a challenge everyday, whether it be as simple as speaking some Spanish in Peru or as extreme as bungee jumping off a bridge at Victoria Falls.<br /><br />.. That you want to return to all of the places you visited to see more.<br /><br />..And that if we've made you want to do any of the above because you travelled with us that you'll travel with us again.<br /><br />
