Mountain Lodges of Peru Partners with Rainforest Alliance


Mountain Lodges of Peru has just signed a project agreement with Rainforest Alliance, an international, non-profit and sustainable development organization.

The agreement began on November 10th, 2009 and includes an evaluation and the improvement of environmental & socio-cultural aspects of Mountain Lodges of Peru’s operation throughout the Salkantay Route. Rainforest Alliance will help MLP improve its practices while sharing the objective of promoting sustainable management in the company and field.

Mountain Lodges of Peru hopes to empower its existing environmental and social sustainability projects which are currently in development by MLP’s Eco-Team and NGO Yanapana Peru.

This alliance means that MLP can now rely on an environmental specialist, Rainforest Alliance, to provide guidance and support in the transition towards cleaner and more renewable energy systems for its own operation, as well as benchmarking proven industry experience for small operational issues which end up making a big difference in the end. This is a form to contribute to the well being of the communities in MLP’s area of influence.
