LIMA, Peru, May 31, 2012– Peru’s visionary leader in environmental and cultural tourism, Rainforest Expeditions
http://www.perunature.com/, is helping make it more affordable for families to engage in sustainable tourism at its three riverside eco-lodges and on its lodge-driven nature and wildlife tours that are about as far away from civilization as one can get in this part of the world..
“People want to get away and have authentic – not sybaritic – experiences, especially with their family. A rule in the Amazon states that the farther away from civilization you go and the longer you stay in the forest, the better chances you will have to observe wildlife,” said Jeff Cremer, spokesperson for
Rainforest Expeditions.
This Peruvian company is offering lodge and tour discounts of up to 50 percent for ages 5 to 12 sharing a room with parents and a discount of 20 percent for families sharing a triple room. Both promotions apply to stays in June and July 2012 and January, February and March 2013. There is no charge for children through age 4. Ages 13 and up pay full price.
