CARES<br />
Powered by TREADRIGHT<br />
As well as spending time with<br />
local community members<br />
to learn more about life in<br />
the Amazon, you’ll spend<br />
half a day volunteering for<br />
a sustainable infrastructure<br />
project. You’ll also get to<br />
experience a traditional<br />
cleansing ceremony and<br />
receive a blessing from a<br />
local Shaman, and take part<br />
in morning and evening<br />
rainforest treks with an<br />
expert jungle guide.<br />
ARTISANAL<br />
PERUVIAN WEAVING<br />
The Centro de Textiles Tradicionales<br />
del Cusco aims to preserve Peruvian<br />
weaving traditions. Funding from the<br />
TreadRight Heritage Initiative grant is<br />
being used to complete construction of a<br />
traditional weaver’s home at the Chinchero<br />
Weaver’s Centre, which will then open<br />
its doors to locals and visitors alike, to<br />
educate about traditional weaving<br />
techniques and promote the<br />
sale of textiles.<br />
Contiki Cares, advised by our older wiser sister Treadright, is<br />
our mission to protect and preserve the places we go to and<br />
the people we meet, so that the generations who follow us<br />
can see the world with the same wide-eyed wonder as we do.<br />
It’s our dedication to treading lightly, acting with respect and<br />
recognising when to speak for the planet when it can’t speak for<br />
itself. Contiki is proud to be using 100% recyclied LEIPA paper<br />
for the body of our brochures. By doing so, we proudly save<br />
34,000 trees per year.<br />
