At TreXperience, we understand that we only have one planet to live on. If we destroy it, we'll have nowhere else to go. Therefore, we want to do our part to help conserve it for the enjoyment of future generations. We also understand that the tourism industry, in which we operate, is one of the most damaging to the environment if it doesn't follow appropriate environmental practices, both on the part of service providers and tourists. For this reason, we develop Environmental Projects to preserve our home, especially Cusco, home to countless wonders such as Machu Picchu, Rainbow Mountain, Salkantay, Choquequirao, and many more. We do our part and in this section, we want to share with you some of the practices, training programs, and clean-up and reforestation campaigns that we have developed throughout our history.
When you join us, you’re not just here to see Peru’s landscapes; you’re here to give back. In each project, we dive right in with locals, learn from them, and work side by side. Together, we’ll plant trees to restore areas that need it, get hands-on with waste management to keep places clean, and explore simple ways to conserve water that can make a big difference for the land and its people.

What We’ll Do Together
Cleanup campaign on Circuit 6 of the Inca Trail, Soraypampa - Paukarkancha 2025
As part of its environmental and social commitment, TreXperience led the clean-up campaign along the Soraypampa–Paukarkancha section of Route 6 of the Inca Trail on December 9–10, 2025. The campaign was organized by SERNANP - National Service of State Protected Natural Areas, and the aim was to keep the route clean for future visitors while supporting environmental conservation. On December 9, a clean-up campaign started at Salkantay Pampa (4,150 m), the first campsite on the classic 4-day Salkantay trek to Machu Picchu. From there, the team moved higher along the route to Pampa Japonesa (4,750 m), collecting waste along the way. After crossing Inca Chiriasca Pass (5,100 m), they continued the effort through Yanacaca (4,600 m) and Sisaypampa (4,200 m), before ending the day and camping at Pampacahuana, also known as Inca Channel (3,900 m).
The following morning, the work continued on the section between Pampacahuana and Paukarkancha, where the team kept removing solid waste from the trail. This marked two productive days of cleaning and conservation work along Route 6 of the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu.
As leaders in nature and open-air trekking experiences, TreXperience's commitment and responsibility to environmental conservation is solid, continuous, and participatory

Waste Management Workshops
Waste is one of the first stages of pollution and erosion in a natural area or archaeological site. Many people believe that tourists generate the most waste in natural and rural areas, but service providers also contribute to this. For this reason, our environmental projects include training workshops every year, which we conduct with the support of SERNAMP (National Service of Natural Protected Areas), for all our guides, porters, and local communities who are close to high-impact areas, people who are in contact with our tourists and the environment. As part of our social responsibility, we train them in the proper management of solid waste (reduce - reuse - recycle.) on the different routes where we provide services: the Inca Trail, Salkantay, Choquequirao, among others.
It’s amazing what a difference these simple steps can make in keeping these stunning places clean and safe for everyone to enjoy.

Water Conservation
In Peru, despite having large freshwater supplies, we lack the technology to utilize them. Given that we are among the first countries affected by the greenhouse effect, proper management of drinking water is vital. Thus, in places where water is hard to come by, every drop really does count. We work with local rural communities, many of them still without access to drinking water, to help conserve water, whether through collecting rainwater or protecting local rivers and streams. It’s not just good for the people, it’s also a lifeline for the plants and animals that depend on these water sources.
These projects go beyond sightseeing. They’re about connecting with the land and its people, sharing experiences, and doing something that really matters. And the best part? When you book a tour with us, 2% of that cost goes directly into supporting these efforts. So, you’re not just visiting Peru, you’re leaving behind something positive that will last long after your trip.
Join us for an adventure that’s about more than just travel. Let’s make a difference together, protect these breathtaking landscapes, and create memories that matter. We can do this, one tree, one clean river, and one shared experience at a time.

Tree Planting
We’re on a mission to bring life back to the land, one tree at a time. With each tree we plant, we’re helping to clean the air, improve soil, and create a habitat for local wildlife. It might seem like a small thing, but every tree makes a difference, and watching these trees grow over time is a powerful reminder of the impact we can have. At TreXperience, as part of our environmental project, we organize a reforestation campaign every December. Guides, porters, cooks, and office staff join forces to plant native trees and plants from the Cusco region. This campaign takes place along our routes and in the rural communities where we operate. The last one was in the Qente sector, within the community of Qorihuayrachina, planting more than 13,000 tara trees. This effort aims to restore the Andean forests along one of Peru’s most iconic routes, the Inca Trail.
This is our way of combating climate change: by uniting our efforts and building camaraderie, all for the common goal of preserving our world. Thus, TreXperience has left an ecological footprint while delivering a clear message: preserving touristic zones and the Andean forests as a shared responsibility that benefits nature, local communities, and the future of tourism in Peru.
