It is Peru’s first tourism enterprise to be declared Carbon Neutral. Through the NGO Inkaterra Asociación (ITA), Inkaterra performs ecological research within its properties in Tambopata, Cusco, Machu Picchu, Urubamba, and Cabo Blanco.
In 2012, Inkaterra became the world’s first hotel enterprise to be recognized with the International Certificate in Sustainable Tourism by the CU Green Choice Sustainable Tourism Standard.
