Responsible Travel

As the pioneers of responsible tourism, we've screened this (and every) vacation so that you can travel knowing we've worked to maximise the benefits of your vacation to local people and places, and minimise any negative impacts.

Planet

CARBON REDUCTION

Our Inca Trail Express Trek promotes a reduced carbon footprint by eliminating the need for internal flights. Guests are transferred from Cuzco to Ollantaytambo via shared local transport, effectively reducing CO2 emissions per person.

The journey also includes a significant portion of human-powered transport. The trek from KM 104 to Wiñayhuayna and Inti Punku (Sun Gate) incorporates walking, thus eliminating the need for any carbon-emitting conveyance.

Our guides advise travelers on how to reduce the carbon impacts of their vacation. This includes guidance on sustainable travel practices such as reducing food waste, promoting local produce, and supporting local businesses.

ENVIRONMENT AND WILDLIFE

We pay careful attention to accommodations that apply conscientious environmental practices. For instance, our chosen hotel in Aguas Calientes supports plastic reduction.

An integral part of the vacation, entry fees to Machu Picchu, goes directly towards the maintenance and protection of this treasured UNESCO World Heritage Site, thereby contributing to conservation efforts.

Our activities boost local environmental projects like the Incan agricultural terraces at Machu Picchu, which signifies an early attempt at biodiversity. The entrance fee contributes towards their maintenance.

We educate our travelers about the environmental sensitivity of the places they visit. They are gently reminded to reduce their impacts on nature by adhering to responsible tourist standards such as 'Leave No Trace.'

People

LOCAL ECONOMY

Our tour prioritizes stimulating the local economy by favoring locally-owned accommodations instead of international hotel chains. By choosing to stay at locally-operated lodgings, we ensure that the economic benefits are directly reinvested into the community.

Our commitment extends beyond accommodations; we engage local guides who bring authentic cultural insights, visit traditional markets that showcase local crafts and products, and promote the use of public transportation whenever feasible. This approach not only supports local businesses but also helps preserve the cultural heritage of the region.

EMPLOYMENT, INCLUSIVITY, AND DIVERSITY

We are dedicated to channeling the economic benefits of our tours back into the community by employing local guides, crew members, and staff. This approach creates valuable income-generating opportunities for the local population, including those from marginalized groups.

Our commitment to inclusivity and diversity is reflected in our hiring practices, as we offer equal opportunities regardless of race, gender, sexual orientation, religion, or nationality. Additionally, our tour package is LGBTQ+ friendly, ensuring a welcoming and respectful environment for all guests. This comprehensive approach helps foster a sense of community and supports the well-being of local residents.
