But traveling green also offers phenomenal experiences and rewards. Besides generally being good to the planet and its people, it brings you closer to and enmeshes you in the cultures, cuisines, and curiosities that, before ecotourism, you could only read about in adventure books. Ecotravel lets you see the world, even if you stay close to home, with new eyes.

And ecotravel can easily fit anyone's travel preferences and needs:
young, old and in between;
indoorsy or outdoorsy;
all seasons and terrains;
domestic or international;
families or friends;
cities or wilderness;
cultural or adventuring;
active or leisure.
Green travel is mindful travel encompassing literally every combination of preferences you can dream up.

Cusco, Peru is a friendly and beautiful town in which to acclimate to the altitude before beginning trekking the Inca Trail.
