Inca Trail - Environment

Environment on the Inca Trail

Explore Adventures Peru Team “Tourism seems to be one of the biggest challenges in Machupicchu National Park. Have both positive and negative effects on the landscape and the wildlife. Since tourists mainly come for the scenery and

wildlife, there is pressure to conserve the habitats of the animals within the park. we think some of the major issues dealing with tourism in the park would have to be litter and waste brought into the national park by tourists. Though litter has little impact on the ecological health of the environment, it has a negative effect on the environmental aesthetics and ads to a negative visitor experience. In our opinion, every travel Companies should introduce programs to promote taking the litter and waste out of the park which you brought in ”
