Salkantay, We Love You Clean 2025

Salkantay X Cleaning Campaign

"Salkantay te quiero limpio"

In the majestic heart of the Andes, Nevado Salkantay captivates not only with its breathtaking beauty and ancient mysticism, but also with the deep commitment of those who work to protect it. The “Salkantay, We Love You Clean 2025” campaign was an inspiring day of action and environmental awareness, bringing together more than 100 people united by a shared purpose: preserving one of Peru’s most iconic trekking destinations for future generations.

Guides, muleteers, and operational staff hiked along trails, campsites, and the iconic Humantay Lake to collect and properly sort waste, working hand in hand with local communities and authorities. This effort went far beyond a simple cleanup—it represented a sustainable tourism model focused on education, pollution prevention, and the protection of an Andean ecosystem increasingly vulnerable to climate change and tourism pressure.

For travelers, choosing Salkantay Trekking as their tour operator is an experience that goes beyond the journey itself. It is an opportunity to be part of purpose-driven tourism, where every step supports mountain conservation and the well-being of local communities. Choosing a responsible adventure on the Salkantay means leaving a lasting memory in your heart, not on the trail.
