Visit and stay among local communities and you’ll not only get to know a place on a deeper level, but you’ll be helping improve lives too
The top ten COMMUNITY-BASED TRIPS

LOCAL HEROES FOLLOW THE LEADERS IN MYANMAR (BURMA)

Let the locals lead you into their culture on Audley Travel's bespoke Classic Myanmar trip. Not only will they welcome you into their homes, showing you how they live and work, you’ll see how your tour combines with charity projects to sustain their traditional way of life. Along the way, you’ll cast nets with fishermen, sleep in stilted teak houses and canoe down Inle Lake at sunset. Then you can cook up a storm on a culinary class with a twist, sourcing your ingredients from Nyaung Shwe villagers, trying your hand at the lingo along the way, before sitting down to dine on your creation.

FOOD FOR THOUGHT

DO SOME GOOD IN PERU

Help change the lives of Andean villagers on World Expeditions’ Huilloc Village Healthy Cook Stove Project. In this secluded corner of the Sacred Valley, see how the villagers have been inhaling toxic smoke with their open-fire stoves – then help fix it. While you trade the stoves in for healthier alternatives, you’ll become part of the community, staying in local homes, trying provincial dishes, watching weavers in action and farmers paying tribute to Pachamama (Earth Mother).
