Explore the Andes with a team that protects the environment and the places that make every journey special
Planet Earth is home to life, and as our only home, preserving it should be a daily, unconscious action rather than just an obligation. It is especially important for people working in industries that significantly impact the environment, such as tourism, to take action to protect nature.
At TreXperience, we take our environmental responsibility seriously. That’s why we incorporate environmental awareness into every aspect of our processes across different departments. We focus on reducing and reusing paper in our offices, managing solid waste properly during outdoor adventures, conserving energy at our facilities, and using water responsibly both in the office and on the trail. These practices are just a few of our commitment to being environmentally friendly.
Our work goes beyond our primary activities. We have developed environmental projects that create a real impact in the areas where we operate, encouraging everyone involved to take better care of their surroundings. We collaborate closely with Andean communities, particularly those situated near forests, cloud forests, and other natural areas.
We restore forests, plant trees, and provide training, and you play a crucial role in this mission. By choosing TreXperience, you are selecting high-quality travel services that honor the environment and the places you explore. Here’s how we demonstrate that commitment in practice.
Training Guides and Porters in Waste Management and Environmental Conservation
Our guides and dedicated porters are essential members of our team, spending significant time on the trails and having the most direct contact with travelers. They also play a crucial role in our environmental projects.
Every February, TreXperience provides training in environmental management and waste management for our guides and porters at Pucruto Ayllupampa School No. 50576, located in Urubamba Province within the Sacred Valley of the Incas. The training focuses on areas that are particularly sensitive to tourism activity, including the Inca Trail, Salkantay, Choquequirao, the Lares Trek, and other popular routes.
During workshops led by technical staff from Peru’s National Service of Natural Areas Protected by the State (SERNANP), participants learn how to properly manage solid waste by following the principles of “reduce, reuse, and recycle.” They then share these practices with travelers, helping to protect green areas, respect access restrictions in protected zones, and preserve local biodiversity.
Trail Cleanups in Popular Tourist Areas
Reducing our environmental footprint is the main goal of every cleanup campaign we join throughout the year. These activities focus on removing litter and other objects that do not belong in natural areas along routes such as the Inca Trail, Salkantay, Lares, and Choquequirao.
On December 9 and 10, 2025, our team conducted a cleanup campaign along Route 6 of the Inca Trail, specifically between Soraypampa and Paukarkancha. This campaign was organized by SERNANP. Over the course of two days, a dedicated team from TreXperience, led by CEO Juan Carlos Coronel, collected solid waste from the trail, campsites, mountain passes, and even local restroom facilities. The aim was clear: to mitigate the negative impact of tourism on this beautiful natural area.
Every piece of waste that is properly removed helps protect these heavily visited locations, keeping them in good condition and allowing future travelers to enjoy them responsibly.
Responsible Water Use and Reuse Options
Peru is one of the countries most affected by global warming and the greenhouse effect, making water conservation crucial. This issue is particularly urgent in high-Andean communities, where access to safe drinking water remains limited.
TreXperience recognizes this challenge and actively collaborates with rural communities to protect this vital resource. Our efforts include rainwater collection and the preservation of local rivers and streams.
These initiatives not only safeguard water sources for local families but also support the plants and wildlife that depend on them.
Your booking with TreXperience directly contributes to this important work. Two percent of the price of our tours is destined to projects that promote responsible water use and support Andean communities reliant on these natural resources. In this way, your trip helps protect the landscapes and resources that you come to explore.
At TreXperience, exploring the Andes also means caring for and preserving them.
Tree Planting and Forest Restoration
Forests are the lungs of the planet that host living ecosystems and provide essential habitats for countless species. Every year, we bring guides, porters, cooks, office staff, volunteers, and local families to restore green areas affected by tourism or the uncontrolled burning of grasslands for agriculture.
These activities not only help raise environmental awareness among our team but also contribute to restoring forests and creating healthier natural spaces.
One significant initiative is our campaign in the Qente area, within the community of Qorihuayrachina, where we have planted over 13,000 tara trees. Tara is a native species that thrives in the Andean climate and helps improve soil quality. Through this project, we are helping restore vegetation along one of Peru’s most famous routes, the Inca Trail.
Our reforestation efforts extend beyond simply planting trees. They also serve to protect water sources, create safe habitats for native wildlife, train nearby communities to care for the restored areas, and monitor the growth of the trees in the years that follow.
