Galapagos and Machu Picchu holiday

Planet

With hundreds of tourists trekking to Machu Picchu every day, the routes can end up pretty dirty over the course of the year. While our local supplier always takes all their rubbish with them, unfortunately not everyone does. To combat this, our supplier organises clean up treks where the guides and porters work together collecting up the plastic bottles and other rubbish in order to return the trails to their original condition.

In the Galapagos, preserving and protecting the unique wildlife and environment is especially important to us. Our tours are carefully co-ordinated with the local authorities to minimise the environmental impact of visitors to the Islands and the number of visitors allowed is strictly controlled. Guests are encouraged to use re-fillable water bottles and to avoid single-use plastics while on the islands, plus upon arrival all of our travellers are given a document with advice for sustainable ways to travel around Ecuador without damaging its ecosystem, people and culture.
