Tawa Experiences

We create unique experiences with social responsibility.

In Quechua, the official native language in the Andean civilization in Perú, TAWA means FOUR. This number represents the duality of the duality. It was also a sacred and mystical number, as in other ancient cultures. This number represents the universe's symmetry, the Holy geometry origin, and the design of the cosmos, planet earth, and human beings.

Within the Andean cosmovision, the division of the universe gives origin to duality, what they used to call Hanan and Urin, which means Upper world (sky) and the lower world (underground world); also, north and south, etc. The following division brings right and left, east and west; this way, the space was split in the Andean cruise (constellation) known as CHAKANA. This division set the four regions of the Andean world (south, north, east, and west) called TAWANTINSUYU (Quechua language) or the four regions of the sun, which is considered the Main God. Number four was related to the worship of the four elements: earth, water, wind, and fire.

For us, as a tourism operator, it means four ways of experiencing this trip, four ways of knowing and learning about the places we visit sustainably and responsibly. You like travelers, and we, the living community, make this experience something else beyond a regular tour. It will be a great experience interchanging ideas, seeing, understanding, and living the world in a different, better way afterward.

Our guides are the secret weapon behind our success.

I’m a professional in the tourism Industry, I‘ve been working as a professional guide for years and I decided to open my own Travel agency, my idea is to share the Andean Cosmovision of my country, we belong to an ancestral Culture where our great fathers and ancestors inherited us a wonderful legacy, that’s the main reason I decided to share my knowledge with our visitors coming from everywhere in this world, they have to feel the magic coming from this archeological places that we are surrounded, we are committed to practicing a responsible, ecological, rural tourism, all of these thinking in the needs of the Andean communities because they are our main source, they represent all the ancestral traditions, beliefs and folklore, etc.

“Travel Responsible, Travel Safe, Travel Happy, Travel with the best, travel with TAWA Experiences.”

Values and principles of Tawa Experiences

Biosecurity

We are a committed travel agency with your health and our fellow associates, the native communities that work with us. 
We are thankful to Mincetur, an institution of the government of Perú, working in the tourism field. We are working with them to offer a new itinerary in areas where usually the tourist has no access due to the low demand and follow our plans. We are introducing projects focused on people who live in these communities, creating a safe environment. We want them to be prepared with the right equipment to be protected against the COVID and follow the protocols of biosecurity established by the Peruvian government.

Sustainable tourism

Our activities are responsible for the environment, where we want to reduce the negative impact and maximize the benefits of cultural interchange with the communities. 

 

 

 

 

 

Living history

Tradition, culture, and heritage, travel with us and make you part of an alive adventure. During this journey, our professional guides will provide a lot of information about the ancient culture here in Cusco, which was the heart of the Inca Civilization.
If we mention how rich the different cultures that settled here in Perú would be breathtaking. To mention some examples oldest culture in Perú is known as Caral, located on the north side of Lima, 5000 thousand years old valley. Also, we should recall Nazca with the incredible huge lines drawn in the middle of nowhere in the Peruvian desert. Wari is another culture previous to the Inca period. We are the generation that absorbs all that our great ancestors left us as heritage. Once you experiment with these experiences, you can see how our people are still living and practicing the old technology as our great parents. They are happy to share this daily way of living. The preservation of all of these habits is crucial. 

Spiritual experiences

The Andean philosophy is a clear example of love, showing respect for mother earth, known as Pachamama. The civilizations who inhabited these areas worked the land to get all the benefits of it. They were aware of sustainability, constructed wisely, and daily work worshipping nature, and mother earth. Being part of this experience is an invitation to understand better this connection between human beings and nature. Unfortunately, though the time this connection was lost. Our guides will explain to you the deities in these areas, like the mountains, and the coca leaves used as important products for their ceremonies.
