Act Responsibly
- At Titilaka, all of us understand the need for responsible travel and are deeply committed to both minimising our ecological footprint and being the best possible neighbour we can to the local communities that have welcomed both us and our guests with open arms. CALTUR is the Peruvian government certification for tourism quality, which incorporates both environmental and social standards; Titilaka has qualified every year.
Social Commitment
- Titilaka’s social commitment is focussed on supporting the sustainable economic development of the villages around the lodge. By offering local community members a stable, well-paid job that is all too rare in this part of the world, these jobs complement their traditional lifestyle focussed on small-scale agriculture. Three-quarters of our staff come from local communities and we source ingredients locally as much as possible, providing the families with an important market for their products, from food crops to Andean textiles.
Working with the Locals
- Titilaka also works hand in hand with a non-profit organisation that supports the communities around the lake. We make a donation on behalf of every guest. Guests will also have a chance to give back personally by making their own donation or visiting a local village.
