Environmental and Social Sustainability

At Inka Trail Expeditions Peru, we believe that traveling is also a way of caring. Since our founding in Cusco, we have worked to ensure that every trekking experience is not only unforgettable for the traveler, but also positive for nature and local communities.

We know that tourism can have a significant impact, which is why we strive to always be responsible and sustainable. Part of our income is invested in environmental and social projects: cleanup campaigns on routes like the Inca Trail and Salkantay, reforestation programs with native species, and activities supporting Andean communities.

Environmental Responsibility

The natural environment is the backdrop for our adventures and our greatest asset. To protect it, we implement concrete measures such as reducing single-use plastics, promoting reusable bottles, and responsible waste management along the routes.

We also promote environmental education among our team and travelers, seeking to make every experience a learning opportunity. All of this effort is backed by the international ISO 14001 certification, which guarantees that our operations comply with recognized environmental management standards.

Responsibility to Local Communities

Andean communities are an essential part of every experience. They have kept their traditions alive for centuries and today are at the heart of our trips, providing hospitality and culture on every route.

We work alongside them to generate fair employment as porters, cooks, and guides, in addition to purchasing fresh food from local producers. We also support craft and culinary workshops that strengthen their cultural identity and create opportunities for sustainable development.

During the trek, we offer hearty breakfasts, lunches, dinners, and snacks, accompanied by coca tea to prevent altitude sickness. If you are vegetarian, vegan, or have any food allergies, just let us know in advance and we will adapt your meals.

We are confident that our mountain food will exceed your expectations.
