DISCOVER THE REAL-LIFE PADDINGTON BEAR
01-06-2015INKATERRA MACHU PICCHU PUEBLO HOTEL INVITES GUESTS TO DISCOVER THE REAL-LIFE PADDINGTON BEAR
|
New York - January 5, 2015: Just in time for the U.S. release of the movie Paddington 2, Peru's leader in sustainable tourism for over 39 years, Inkaterra, is inviting guests to experience the Andean Spectacled Bear with a special package at its Inkaterra Machu Picchu Pueblo Hotel. Also known as the Andean Bear, the name is based on the rings or "spectacles" of light fur surrounding the animal's eyes and sometimes extending down the chest -- giving them a unique appearance!
Inspired by a stuffed toy bear on an empty store shelf in London, celebrated English author Michael Bond created Paddington Bear and produced more than 20 books, touching the lives of millions of children around the world. Now, families can meet a real-life version of Paddington Bear: The Andean Spectacled Bear at Inkaterra' s Andean Spectacled Bear Project.
Located directly on the reserve and property grounds, Inkaterra' s Andean Spectacled Bear Project is currently home to five bears with an ongoing mission to help save the endangered species and secure its future in South America. In conjunction with Inkaterra's non-profit organization, Inkaterra Asociación (ITA), and the Peruvian National Park Service (SERNANP), the conservation project offers visitors exclusive access to the bears' natural habitat while also providing an opportunity to shadow the project's keepers and understand their day-to-day activities.
In addition to learning about the educational project, the Spectacled Bear package includes:
The three-night Spectacled Bear package at Inkaterra Machu Picchu Pueblo Hotel starts at US$1,013 (based on double occupancy in a superior casita) and includes roundtrip transfers from Machu Picchu Pueblo train station, daily breakfast, lunch and dinner, and 10% service. Additional excursions and services are available at an additional fee, upon request. For more information on the Spectacled Bear package and other offerings at Inkaterra, please visit: www.inkaterra.com.
