Earth al cuore del Sudamerica culturale

🌍 In 2003, Régulo Franco, a Peruvian archaeologist, discovered the Moche priestess's tomb, known as 'Señora de Cao'. Earth Cultura e Natura, an Italian tour operator, is now boosting South America with Franco's return to Italy. The company's sustainability & product manager, Isabella Pillolo, highlighted the 2025 trend of travel to Asia due to better air connectivity. Despite the reduced reserved spots for tour operators, this has led to a more selective and high-profile traveler interested in specialized, non-group offerings. The company's strong margins in Latin American destinations, such as Argentina, Chile, Patagonia, and especially Peru, are drawing clients who value travel preparation and guidance. The success of Régulo's tour in Italy, arranged by Earth, PromPerù, and the Consulate of Peru, along with special departures with archaeologist Jenny Alva, underscores this trend.
