Clean-Up Campaign

At Samex Tours Peru, we are deeply committed to the preservation of Peru’s natural beauty and rich cultural heritage. As part of our dedication to sustainability and responsible tourism, we are proud to launch our Clean-Up Campaign at some of the country’s most iconic archaeological sites. Our slogan, “Save the Planet,” reflects our mission to protect and preserve these treasures for future generations.

Why We Are Doing This:

Peru is home to some of the world’s most significant historical and cultural landmarks, including Machu Picchu, the Inca Trail, and the Sacred Valley. While tourism is vital to the local economy, it also brings challenges, such as waste accumulation and environmental degradation. At Samex Tours Peru, we believe it is our responsibility to give back to the land we cherish and to promote environmentally conscious travel.

The Clean-Up Campaign is an initiative that embodies our commitment to “Save the Planet” by ensuring that these magnificent archaeological sites remain clean, protected, and sustainable. We want to inspire our guests and the wider community to take action, raising awareness about how even small steps in everyday travel can make a big difference in preserving the environment.

What We Do:

Our Clean-Up Campaign brings together our team of guides, porters, volunteers, and guests to clean up trails, archaeological sites, and campsites along the way. We actively collect waste, prevent pollution, and maintain the natural beauty of these remarkable places. Our goal is to ensure that, while we explore the beauty of Peru, we leave no trace behind—leaving the environment in better condition than we found it.

We focus on:

  1. Waste Collection: Collecting plastic, paper, and other non-biodegradable materials from high-traffic areas, ensuring proper disposal and recycling whenever possible.
  2. Trail Maintenance: Cleaning the paths, removing debris, and ensuring the routes are safe and accessible for future travelers.
  3. Promoting Sustainability: Educating our travelers on eco-friendly travel practices, such as reducing waste, minimizing energy consumption, and choosing sustainable products.
  4. Collaboration with Local Communities: Working with local authorities, communities, and partners to find long-term solutions for waste management and sustainable tourism practices.

Impact of the Campaign:

The Clean-Up Campaign has already made a significant impact on preserving the environment and cultural sites in Peru. By reducing waste at key tourist destinations, we help protect the flora, fauna, and ecosystems that make these places unique. Our efforts contribute to maintaining the natural beauty of the Inca Trail and Machu Picchu, ensuring these sacred sites continue to inspire awe for generations to come.

Through our campaign, we also aim to foster a sense of responsibility among tourists and local communities. By spreading the message of “Save the Planet”, we hope to create a culture of sustainability that extends beyond the archaeological sites and becomes part of the fabric of the travel experience.
