Inkaterra believe in the principles of Geotourism - tourism that sustains or enlaces the geographical character of a place its environment, heritage, aesthetics, culture, and well-being of its residents.

Is environmental responsible, committed to conserving resources and maintaining biodiversity.

Is culturally responsible, committed to respecting local sensibilities and building on local heritage.

And while geotourism is incompatible with loss of natural or cultural diversity, it does not seek to stop the clock and preserve a destination in amber. What it does seek to preserve is geographical diversity, the distinctiveness of a locale. Destinations that offer nothing but look-alike international franchises lose their distinctiveness and appeal. They end up at the mercy of package-resort mass tourism that seeks only the cheapest price.
