At Enigma Peru we take pride in promoting sustainable travel<\/strong><\/a> and operating in an environmentally respectful way.

Below we have listed more specific ways that we tackle sustainability on a daily level:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our office in Cusco is a green office with a focus on the reduce, reuse, recycle theory. We limit the amount of paper that we print out and work mostly with electronic documents to reduce paper waste. We also send information to our clients electronically, drastically reducing the printing of brochures, posters and other paper advertising.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We also have a strong focus on using biodegradable products both in our office and in our operations to reduce our impact on the environment. We have greatly reduced our use of disposable plastics, substituting aluminum, cane, wood, and\/or textiles instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Enigma regularly participates and hosts cleaning campaigns in Peru, especially along the Inca Trail, removing hundreds of kilos of inorganic waste. On our last campaign, we removed 700kg of waste over a course of three days with thirty volunteers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
