BASINGSTOKE, U.K. - June 21, 2018 - PRLog -- A brand-new innovation has just been launched in Peru. Now, clients looking for luxury camping as well as activity and adventure, can stay in specially built geodesic eco-domes in the heart of the Andes of Peru.

The EcoCamps provide the option of a genuinely luxurious trek to the fabled Machu Picchu via the Salkantay Route in the Andes. This ancient route is an excellent alternative to the busier, more commercial Inca Trail, but also ends at Machu Picchu.

Clients can stay for anything from two to eight days and there is a choice of easy walks or more challenging treks.

Utilising solar energy and natural water, the five strategically-located domes have bedrooms with king-size beds, hot showers and cozy wood-burning stoves. Lobby and dining domes have a bar and restaurant, with fine, locally-sourced wines which have never tasted better than at the end of a hard day's trek! Waste from the loos (as composted, organic waste) is used on the gardens, and rubbish is re-cycled by local municipality or re-cycling companies.

The camps' employees are from around the Cusco region, some live as close as the local village, whilst others travel a few hours but often have other family in the area.

Comments Raul Montes*, the man behind the EcoCamp concept: "Up until now, the options for accommodation whilst trekking to Machu Picchu have been extremely limited and put a lot of people off taking on one of the world's most iconic hikes.

"The Eco Camps offer a genuine 'glamping' experience in a peaceful and scenic setting, whilst minimising the impact on this pristine corner of South America."

The trek costs from £1770 per person (two sharing) for the five-day version of the Salkantay trek to Machu Picchu and includes full-board accommodation and guide.

*As a boy Raul Montes observed tourists at his grandfather's hacienda which led him to study tourism and to become a guide for over 30 years. Concern for the environment inspired him to imagine a sustainable environment for tourists whilst benefitting local communities; Peru Ecocamp is the realisation of that dream.
