Inkaterra | Founder, Jose Koechlin: A Passion for the Amazon, Preserving Machu Picchu, and a Friendship with Mick Jagger

My guest today is Jose Koechlin, the Founder and President of the iconic Inkaterra Hotels in Peru. Jose's life's work has been to preserve the biodiversity of his country. Starting with media projects like movies and documentaries, Jose realized he could use public interest to fund deep and meaningful research and conservation efforts. Whether you stay deep in the heart of the Amazon with experienced researchers, enjoy the trappings of a 16th century home of a conquistador in Cusco, or tuck into a warm soup while bird watching near Machu Picchu - you'll be surrounded with the friendliest of staff and all the luxury amenities you're used to. Jose and I discuss his long term friendship with Mick Jagger, the next hotel in Inkaterra's collection, and his deep passion for the natural world around us. Looking to book a luxury hotel?
