A Laotian elephant preserve. A one-room school in the Andes.
A traditional crafts collective in India. Wherever we travel,
Classic Journeys is eager to support the local economies,
small family businesses, and cultural institutions that make each
destination so unique.
But we have a special soft spot for tiny village schools. “Time and
again, our guests say that the school visits are the unexpected
highlights of their trips,” says Franklin Vargas, one of Classic
Journeys’ senior Peru & Machu Picchu guides.
A fresh notebook can win an iPad-sized smile. A few dollars can feed
a one-room school or build a new bathroom. To help guests be part
of the experience, we suggest supplies that will make meaningful
and respectful presents to the students. As a company, we donate
resources to the schools to support them in their missions.
The wonderful local people you meet on a Classic Journey give
so much of themselves, so freely. We’re proud and happy to return
the favor.
