Our Awards
TreXperience is much more than journeys; it is experiences that leave a trace and inspire not only tourists, but also every person around the service. At every step, we ensure the well-being of everyone who makes an unforgettable experience possible for travelers. Being located in Cusco, the ancient capital of the Inca Empire, and being a 100% local tour operator, we generate fair work for hundreds of our fellow citizens, empowering women and establishing a promising future for our children.
Because we understand tourism as a comprehensive 360-degree service, this commitment has also led us to improve our services and processes year after year, always remaining leaders and innovators in the industry. Our national and international awards are recognition of these values, and it means a lot to us to share them with you.

Safe Travels
The international “Safe Travels” seal, issued by the World Travel & Tourism Council (WTTC), recognizes destinations and tourism businesses that follow health and hygiene protocols based on World Health Organization (WHO) guidance. Its purpose is to help travelers identify places that meet accepted safety and quality standards, both in Peru's departments and its institutions, as each region and business adapts to the new normal.
TreXperience complies with each of the health and safety regulations imposed by the WTTC, not only during its experiences or tours, but also in its internal processes. This way, you, the traveler, have every guarantee of being in a safe environment in terms of health, from our tour guides and drivers, passing by our porters and trail cooks, up to the accounting office's collaborators.
Certificate of Registration
As a responsible local tour operator, TreXperience has all the legal permits, certifications, and authorizations to operate in Peru and throughout the Cusco region. Proof of this is TreXperience's registration in the National Directory of Qualified Tourism Service Providers by the Regional Management of Foreign Trade, Tourism, and Crafts of Cusco (GERCETUR).
GERCETUR Cusco leads regional policy for foreign trade, tourism, and handicrafts. It promotes markets, protects heritage, supports artisans, improves service quality, and drives sustainable growth across the region. This certification, in addition to the Operating License granted by the Municipality of Cusco, is a sufficient endorsement to declare TreXperience legal and fully guaranteed for the outstanding development of its tourism activities in the Cusco region.
Certification of the Application of Good Practices
In 2024, TreXperience received MINCETUR’s Certification for the Implementation of Good Practices, a national seal under Peru’s National Tourist Quality Plan (CALTUR). The award recognizes tour operators that apply the Good Practices Application System (SABP) to raise service quality and care for travelers, communities, and the environment. We built clear procedures, trained our team, and measured results across operations and field services, from campsite hygiene to supplier standards.
This certification encourages continuous improvement and responsible tourism in high-value destinations. It also places TreXperience among companies acknowledged by Peru’s Ministry of Foreign Trade and Tourism for meeting rigorous quality criteria and turning policy into daily action. We will keep improving and sharing our progress.
Authorization of Operations
The Inca Trail, as with other natural areas protected by the Peruvian government, requires special authorization to visit and/or exploit them. This authorization is issued by the National Service of Natural Areas Protected by the Peruvian State (SERNANP) to a select group of local tour operators (Cusco), who previously had to meet demanding requirements in the areas of operations, occupational health, and social responsibility.
TreXperience, as the leader in trekking experiences on the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu throughout the region, has held this permit since 2024. Through Directorial Resolution No. 183-2024-SERNANP-DGANP, the Peruvian government has authorized TreXperience to develop tourist experiences along the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu in all its forms, offering experiences that combine nature and culture.
