Inca Trail extension vacation

We use local transport where safe, reliable and feasible to do so, and when this is not feasible, use private, locally owned transport instead. We also ensure our vehicles/fleets are well maintained and fuel-efficient.

When visiting fragile environments, remote areas and national parks we use a “take in, take back out” system. For instance, on this trip travelers are provided with biodegradable toilet paper and all rubbish accumulated from the trek is taken back to Ollantaytambo to be disposed of. This is how we encourage and educate clients to act responsibility and respect the environment in such a beautiful landscape.

It’s easy to use plastic excessively, especially during the warmer months. And so, to counteract this, we encourage our travelers to buy large 5-10 litre bottles to refill their smaller water bottles.

This trip is run by our own local Peruvian operator who shares our commitment to responsible travel, from waste and water management to ensuring we leave as minimal a footprint as possible. By establishing our own local operator in-country, we have created employment opportunities and invested in educating local industry experts in responsible business practices.
