On June 6th, as part of a conservation effort in the Historic Sanctuary of Machu Picchu, several tourism agencies operating the Inca Trail joined forces to take actions aimed at preserving and maintaining native tara plantations. This initiative, in which Illapa Culturas Andinas actively participated, aims primarily to ensure the sustainability of the vegetation cover in the area.
This maintenance day is part of an ongoing effort by Illapa Culturas Andinas and other tourism agencies to protect and preserve the natural environment of Machu Picchu. In February, Illapa Culturas Andinas participated in planting native tara plants in the Choquellusca sector, and now, with tasks such as weeding, watering, and hole repair, this environmental commitment continues.
The conservation of vegetation cover is of vital importance to the ecosystem of Machu Picchu, as it contributes to soil stability, helps prevent erosion, and provides habitats for local fauna. Additionally, the preservation of these native tara plantations contributes to maintaining the biodiversity and natural beauty of this protected area.
Illapa Culturas Andinas takes pride in being part of these conservation efforts and is committed to protecting the environment in Machu Picchu. Through activities like this maintenance day, the company demonstrates its commitment to sustainability and its responsibility to the local community and the natural heritage of the region.
In conclusion, the maintenance day for native tara plantations in the Historic Sanctuary of Machu Picchu, held on June 6th, was an example of how the tourism industry can positively contribute to environmental conservation and the protection of the world's most important natural sites.
