Queuña Raymi Tree Planting Cusco
Deforestation poses serious threats like landslides and droughts to local communities and endangers wildlife habitats. Through our longstanding partnership with ECOAN, we have been dedicated to reforesting the Andes region, planting over 1MM trees since 2007. Each year, we actively participate in the Queuña Raymi Tree Planting Festival in Lares Valley - Cusco, collaborating closely with members of 21 different communities. This initiative not only restores critical ecosystems but also fosters sustainable practices and generates local employment opportunities. At Amazonas Explorer, sustainability is fundamental to our ethos. We pledge to plant two trees per person per day for every guest we guide, in alignment with our commitment to support 1% for the Planet.
