A sustainable lifestyle and environmental protection is an effective solution to global warming. Simply put, a sustainable lifestyle is a lifestyle in which all raw materials and resources are maintained, recycled, and waste is minimized.
Nowadays, many people are conscious of building a sustainable lifestyle and protecting the environment. Especially for those who love to travel, they believe that travel now is not only about discovery and experience, but also about being civilized and sustainable.
This is demonstrated by enjoying and exploring the wild beauty, while protecting and taking positive actions towards the environment. And indeed, Peru Eco Camp will meet the above requirements of “conscious” tourists.
Peru Eco Camp is an eco-friendly, sustainable lifestyle experience held for the first time in the beautiful country of Peru in 2018. This campsite owns organic vegetable and fruit gardens, uses solar energy and natural water sources, giving visitors a green lifestyle experience with the least impact on the environment possible.
This eco-adventure takes you along the Salkantay trail, through pristine mountain slopes while overlooking the fields, past glacial lakes like Humantay, picturesque villages and the ancient Inca citadels of Machu Picchu. This journey was also voted by National Geographic Adventure magazine as one of the 25 most beautiful trekking destinations in the world that adventure lovers should try.
There are five camps in total at Peru Eco Camp on this trip. All are designed with 28m² domes. Each camp will be fully equipped with basic needs such as eating, sleeping, resting for tourists, as well as wood-burning stoves and blankets to keep them warm in case the temperature drops at night.

It is the only station where tourists can stop to rest during the trekking journey. Milpo is located in an area covered with clouds, creating a rare poetic scene. What makes Milpo camp special is that the domes here all face the valley across the river, creating a peaceful and quiet scene.
Eco Camp Cafe
The final stop of Eco Camp is in the town of Lucamabama in the Santa Teresa Valley. Cafe Eco Camp is surrounded by local farms that produce a variety of products from coffee to tropical fruits and honey.
What makes Eco Camp special for visitors is its efforts to practice sustainable living. Each Eco Camp station is equipped with a turbine system and solar panels. In addition, the water is treated with UV light to make it safe for you to use tap water and reduce plastic bottle waste on your trip. The vegetable gardens here use organic fertilizer made from fruit and vegetable waste from local kitchens.
Peru Eco Camp will be an opportunity for tourists to connect with nature, admire wild landscapes such as ice lakes, mountains, forests, vast grasslands...
