Peru Seeks International Certification For Inca Trail
Built more than 500 years ago to facilitate travel around the capital of the sprawling South American empire, the Inca Road System in Cusco (which includes the famous Inca Trail to Machu Picchu) is one of the region’s greatest historical, archaeological, and touristic treasures. Now, with the backing of Peru’s National Service for Natural Protected Areas (Sernanp), the network of trails hopes to be certified as a destination for sustainable tourism by international certifier TourCert.
