Ecotourism, The New Frontier of Travelling.
Ecotourism in Peru is not only a popular activity among tourists who visit the country, but you will also find it to be quite a rewarding experience. Ecotourism is considered to be a type of organized and responsible travel through the rivers and jungles of Peru, without causing any damage to the country’s ecosystems. When you take a trip to the Peruvian Amazon, you will have the opportunity to see the jungle’s vulnerable and delicate beauty with your own eyes and not through someone else’s eyes via magazine spreads. Additionally, you will see just how rare and fragile the fauna and flora in the Peruvian Amazon are, and why it is that so many naturists are determined to save the country’s ecosystems.
One of the best things about ecotourism in Peru is that you will get to see the wide diversity of vegetal and animal species, which Peruvians have coexisted harmoniously with for quite a number of years. You will come across species like the puma, serpent and condor, which the ancient highlanders worshipped, and you will also come across other species that the Peruvians used for raw materials or food.
Peru ecotourism tours will also introduce you to the thousands of hidden species that have been amazing scientists worldwide for the past few years. The most interesting species you will come across on your tours are those that are native to the territory. These native species are not only beautiful and boast unique characteristics, but they also have managed to adjust to the geography and difficult climate of Peru.
One of the most popular ecotourism destinations in Peru is Machu Picchu. This destination is primarily focused on environmental and cultural preservation, in addition to sustainability. You should bear in mind that this Peruvian destination is highly monitored, as officials have to try their best to eliminate degradation and negative effects of human influence. Officials have very strict regulations concerning the behaviour in Machu Picchu, as well as on the Inca Trail, demanding awareness of the fragility of the area and respect. In addition to this, there are quite a number of Peru’s native species located in Machu Picchu, all of which need their natural environment to be left undisturbed.
The Peruvian rainforest is one of the best destinations in the world where one can find an abundance of butterfly species. It is estimated that about 4,200 butterfly species can be found in the area. Are you a butterfly lover? If so, a great activity to add to your ecotourism tour of Peru is that of the Butterfly Expedition. Tambopata is considered to be a paradise for butterfly lovers, as it is the only destination in the world that has the most butterfly species in one location.
Ecotourism in Peru not only benefits you as a tourist, but it also benefits the natives of the country. Peruvian ecotourism is a multifarious aspect of the industry, and is inclusive of preservation and conservation efforts of communities, nature, and historical landmarks via dedicated tour operators and socio-cultural and economic initiatives.
