Good Life Expeditions: A Travel Company That Prioritizes Sustainable Travel

Choosing a travel company that shares your values can seriously influence the way you get to enjoy your vacation. Good Life Expeditions was created with ethical travel at the forefront of everything we do, offering meaningful journeys rooted in sustainable travel from the moment your trip begins. Every itinerary is designed to help visitors experience each location responsibly while supporting local communities and economies in order to create long-term benefits for the regions we explore. With a partnership with nonprofit MEDLIFE Movement, Good Life Expeditions stands apart for its commitment to ethical practices, local partnership, and memorable experiences for all types of travelers.

A Travel Company Built On Giving back

Good Life Expeditions evolved out of MEDLIFE, an NGO dedicated to fighting for equal access to healthcare, education, and safe housing in underserved areas across Latin America and Africa. This relationship shapes the company’s approach to sustainable travel. Profits from all trips directly support the MEDLIFE Movement, which means each trip helps fund ongoing community projects in low-income areas. By choosing Good Life Expeditions, travelers contribute to work that strengthens local systems focused on poverty reduction and expands opportunity for families and individuals.

Experiences That Go to the Heart of the Destination

Based in Lima, Peru, the Good Life Expeditions team designs trips that bring travelers deeper into each destination’s culture, history, and landscapes. Rather than focusing only on well-known landmarks, itineraries highlight the places where daily life unfolds.

Trips are planned using a simple philosophy: bring travelers to the heart of the destination, offer meaningful alternatives to traditional tourism, use expert knowledge, and create exceptional experiences for all budgets. These principles allow GLE to develop journeys that create connection while also honoring local ways of life.

A Commitment to Responsible Partnerships

Good Life Expeditions is intentional about the partners we work with. Hotels, guides, transportation providers, and activity operators are selected for their community engagement and eco-friendly practices. Many have their own social projects, which travelers directly support by choosing their services. This strengthens local economies and ensures that the benefits of tourism stay within the community. It is one of the core ways Good Life Expeditions integrates sustainable travel into every itinerary.

Expert Guidance With a Personal Touch

The team behind Good Life Expeditions brings years of industry expertise from leading travel companies across South America and Africa. They understand how to design travel that flows smoothly, feels personal, and aligns with each traveler’s interests. Outside of work, the team members are enthusiastic explorers themselves. Their firsthand knowledge helps travelers plan experiences that reflect the best of Peru, from navigating Cusco to finding hidden paths in the Sacred Valley.

Travel Designed for Any Budget

Many travelers begin their journey with a MEDLIFE Service Learning Trip and then choose to extend their stay. Good Life Expeditions can arrange short day trips or full week-long itineraries. For those interested in luxury travel, premium options include Andean train journeys and elevated lodging experiences.
