Some subjects leave no room for nuance, and this is one of them. At Explore Peru 360 we absolutely reject the sexual exploitation of children and adolescents, known in Peru as ESNNA. We want to say so clearly, before you travel with us.
What is ESNNA?
It is the use of a person under 18 for sexual purposes in exchange for money, gifts or any other advantage. It is a serious crime and a violation of their rights, no matter who commits it and even if consent is claimed.
What Peruvian law says
- Law No. 30802 ordered the approval of a Code of Conduct against ESNNA for tourism service providers and provides for canceling the operating authorization of anyone who promotes or allows this exploitation.
- Ministerial Resolution No. 430-2018-MINCETUR approved the Code, which the representatives of tourism service providers must sign, together with its Sworn Declaration of Adherence.
- Article 43 of the General Tourism Law (Law No. 29408) requires providers to communicate, disseminate and publish the existence of the rules on preventing and punishing ESNNA. This page is part of that duty.
Our commitment
- We do not offer, promote or tolerate any service or activity related to ESNNA.
- We inform our team, guides and collaborators on how to prevent it and what to do when they see a warning sign.
- We pass this requirement on to the suppliers we work with.
- If we learn of a case, we report it to the competent authorities and cooperate with them.
- We protect the image and dignity of minors in our communications.
What we ask of you as a traveler
- Never take part in or facilitate such a situation. It is not a minor offense: it is a crime.
- Ask parents or guardians for permission before photographing a minor.
- If you see something that worries you during your trip, don’t let it go. Tell your guide or write to us.
If you see something, say something
- Emergency: Peruvian National Police, 105, or the nearest police station.
- Línea 100 from Peru’s Ministry of Women and Vulnerable Populations: free, 24 hours a day (service in Spanish, Quechua and Aymara).
- Our team: info@exploreperu360.com or +51 982 520 735. We’ll help you reach the right authority.
