Mountain Lodges of Peru Join Forces with Rainforest Alliance

Hundreds of Inca trails connect Cusco and Machu Picchu, both UNESCO World Heritage Sites, and trekkers can now enjoy breathtaking views of glaciated Andean peaks, soaring condors, as well as villages and archeological ruins along the way.

Mountain Lodges of Peru has built four small eco-friendly lodges at a day’s walk distance from one another on the Salcantay Trail to Machu Picchu, crossing a 15,000’ pass between the sacred mountains of Humanay and Salcantay.

Mountain Lodges of Peru offers an extraordinary six day trek, with first class lodgings, gourmet cuisine, and the services of the best guides in the region. Besides working with local communities to promote sustainable tourism and conservation projects, Mountain Lodges of Peru has joined forces with the Rainforest Alliance to ensure the natural and cultural heritage of the region is preserved for centuries to come.

The Rainforest Alliance, an international conservation organization, works to conserve biodiversity and ensure sustainable livelihoods by transforming land-use practices, business practices and consumer behavior. The Rainforest Alliance provides tourism businesses – like Mountain Lodges of Peru – with training and technical assistance, helping them to continually improve their environmental and sociocultural practices. By working with hotels, local and wholesale tour operators big and small, the Rainforest Alliance helps bring responsibly managed tourism services to the global market, encouraging and enabling consumers worldwide to travel sustainably.
