Giving Back to the Trails

Huchuy Qosqo Trek Cleaning Campaign

At 6:00 a.m., we left Cusco heading toward Tambomachay (the Inca Baths)—the starting point of a walk that would be about much more than hiking. A team of 10 dedicated people, including chefs, guides, porters, and office staff, came together with a single purpose: to protect the land that gives meaning to our journeys.

Our Environmental Promise in the Andes

Protect the environment. Respect local communities. Deliver a once-in-a-lifetime experience in Peru. Ensure Machu Picchu and its trails remain beautiful for future generations.

A Long Day with a Clear Mission

It was a long day collecting garbage and more garbage from the roads, from the banks of the lakes, even from some small villages on the route. Committed to our environmental responsibility, our goal is to leave the roads better than we have found. Plastic bottles, food wrappers, forgotten waste—remnants left behind in places that should remain untouched. Each bag we filled was a reminder of why this work matters. Our goal is simple but powerful: to leave the trails better than we found them.

Responsible Tourism in Peru Beyond Words

For us, environmental responsibility is not a slogan—it’s an action. Every year, we organize clean-up initiatives on different trekking routes, especially those leading to Machu Picchu and surrounding Andean landscapes. These are the same paths our guests walk, the same valleys our porters call home, and the same mountains that have protected Andean culture for centuries. We believe that true travel should give back.

Sustainable Trekking Supported by Our Travelers

None of this would be possible without the support of our clients. When travelers choose to explore Peru with us, they are not just booking a tour—they are supporting conservation, local communities, and ethical tourism practices. Every journey helps fund these initiatives and empowers our team to protect the places we love.
