Even before the Inca empire, the region that is today’s Peru developed a worldview which had enormous care and respect for ecology. Indeed, nature was called Pachamama (Mother Earth) and people thought of it as the provider of everything, that should be appeased for this precise reason. Next we will talk about TOUR IN PERU and our eco friendly tours.
Ecotourism: from Pachamama care to eco-friendly tours
Cusco city itself was designed with the shape of a puma whose head is the Sacsayhuaman fortress; the cult of water had its own temples around the empire; coca was deemed a sacred plant; and if you see Machu Picchu, it is clear that the sanctuary was built in complete harmony with nature. The Huayna Picchu mountain, the higher that stands beside the citadel, takes this notion to its limit, because the constructions are like laced around it, like they were just more plants or vegetation. Buildings resembling vegetation… this is how eco friendly the Incas were.
For them, the Inca goddess Pachamama provided everything needed for survival, represented plenty and fertility of crops and also the continuity of the remaining flora and fauna.
Preserve the Machu Picchu Sanctuary
Be part of the Andean culture in a one-day visit to the Sacred Valley of the Incas
Our planet is going through a difficult time, because major population growth and industrialization are taking a toll on the environment; hence, there is an ongoing, eco friendly movement for taking better care of nature. Tourism and TOUR IN PERU are also a part of it. Eco friendly tours means we are committed to preserve the entire environment and its inhabitants quality of life in all the places we happen to be visiting, and also that the tourism branch is engaged in ecological responsibility practices, like recycling, use of clean energies, proper waste management, green lodgings and the likes.
TOUR IN PERU is thus certainly committed to ecotourism and eco friendly tours, and mainly here in this country whose worldview has been so marked by ecology. For the Incas, nature was sacred. The Andean religion had made gods of the Sun, the Moon, water, the mountains, plants, and given spiritual value to animals like the condor and the snake.
Eco Friendly Tours to Machu Picchu and Peru
TOUR IN PERU packages are fully eco friendly, because here in the Andes the Inca worldview is still pretty much alive; people still mention the Pachamama a lot.
We take the time to follow our Andean worldview and also Peruvian regulations about environmental protection and touristic sites’ protection. Next are some of the eco friendly measures we follow to make sure that people, archaeological sites and nature stay ok and welcoming for everybody:
We reduce to the minimum the emission of pollutants by giving our transportations a proper maintenance.
We have an efficient policy for trash and waste management in all our activities, and also recycle as most as possible.
We see that our travelers cooperate with us and with Peruvian regulations in order to preserve the natural riches within touristic circuits, like mountains, typical flora, typical fauna like llamas and condors, rivers, waterfalls, lakes and the likes.
TOUR IN PERU cares about the environment and local people
We see that all archaeological sites, its nearby towns and villages are always correctly visited so they stay in the best conditions, and local people are not disturbed on their daily activities.
For example, the recent new regulations enacted for Machu Picchu tours are on this note; the idea is that the citadel and its precious natural setting are not affected by the flow of visitors, both national and foreign, so the site remains always a place where people can witness and learn about the Incas glorious past and their legacy, and also have the best, relaxing vacation time.
