Minga TOUR

Minga Tour is an educational ecotourism program focused on providing the adventure of experiencing and supporting social change and climate resilience in the Peruvian Amazon firsthand. Our program creates a space for a mutually beneficial and respectful experience between students of all ages and the Indigenous communities we work with. This is a great opportunity for universities, high schools, and religious groups wanting a unique and immersive educational experience.

We offer a limited number of trips annually, so contact us today to reserve your spot!

What will it include?

You will learn how human rights, environmental conservation, and knowledge of basic healthcare define Minga Perú’s mission in the Amazon, one of the most isolated and forgotten regions of the world. Minga Tour’s approach to social change will connect you and your fellow students/classmates face-to-face with local communities to share knowledge about the diverse cultures that inhabit the Amazon and will allow students to hear the personal stories of locals, women, and young people, all, of course while enjoying the incredible sights and sounds of the Amazon rainforest.
By participating in the Minga Tour, you will help Minga Peru generate income to help self-sustain our current programs in the Amazon and also expand our support to more communities.

Types of Packages

Minga Tour offers unique packages depending on your travel limit, your finances, and the desired destinations. Each trip lasts an incredible 3 to 7 days and includes accommodation at our Tambo Minga training center in the Peruvian Amazon. Each trip is designed for groups of 12 or more participants, and certain activities can be adapted to the special needs of each group. Not only will you experience social change firsthand, but your contribution will provide Minga Peru with the resources to continue supporting communities in the Peruvian Amazon.

4 DAYS / 3 NIGHTS

The Tambo Minga package is a perfect balance between Amazon adventure and a meaningful educational experience, all in 4 days and 3 nights. Throughout your stay in the Amazon, we will visit the areas where Minga Peru operates in the Loreto region. We will visit the cities of Iquitos and Nauta, spend 2 days in “Tambo Minga” (Minga Peru’s residential training center located in the zone of the magnificent Pacaya Samiria National Park), and visit a community in the rainforest that works directly with Minga Peru. This unforgettable trip includes boat rides on the Marañón River, preparation of traditional Amazonian meals, and the opportunity to learn about the culture, traditions, and issues of indigenous communities that affect them through our activities and conferences.

“The achievements of this organization are similar to my own goals. Seeing how Minga is creating change from within, helping indigenous people and communities build something together from the inside out, it was an incredible and unforgettable experience.”

Darius Thomas
SMU Student

“It was beautiful to see how Minga empowered women in the Amazon and helped them fight for their rights. And if you have a spark in your heart, I invite you to ignite that spark and visit Minga. There is no way you can get away from this experience without being changed.”

Laura Wynne
SMU Student

“I am beyond grateful to have spoken with indigenous Amazonian women and to have interacted with a completely different culture. By knowing and seeing the work that Minga Perú does, I have had the opportunity to witness how passion can create incredible and positive changes in many lives. By empowering women, equal rights are created and everyone feels like they can make their own decisions without fear of repercussions. Thank you Minga for teaching us that a small change can have a lasting ripple effect.”

Roxana Farokhnia
SMU Student

“Meeting these women from the Peruvian Amazon made me realize how access to education is empowering women and making it possible for them to live in a healthy environment where they feel equal to men, and also how education is changing the dynamics of roles in families and throughout the community. Thanks to Minga Perú I was able to witness this and much more. It was an incredible experience!”
