Since 1985
Our story
Placeholder. Formed in Cusco in 1985 and operating across the Andes and the Amazon ever since.
Being based where the trips happen changes the practical things: the same time zone as your guides, and the hotel that changed hands last season.
Local knowledge
Local gets used loosely in travel. For us it is an operating structure.
We hold Inca Trail permits directly as an official operator.
Guides and drivers are our staff, not a subcontracted agency.
Inside the reserve, which is where our Amazon nights start.
A problem at 6am is answered at 6am.
ISO 9001 and ISO 14001, audited rather than asserted.
Long enough to know which stopped being worth running.
How we work
There is no booking engine here because there is nothing pre-packaged to book.
Dates, who is travelling, how much walking you want.
A written route with real hotels, real timings and a clear price.
You push back, we adjust. Usually two or three passes.
With our own guides, and this office reachable throughout.
What kind of company we are
An environmental policy aligned with the UN Sustainable Development Goals, covering local hiring, conditions for porters and guides, and waste on trek.

Tell us roughly what you have in mind. Someone in this office reads it and writes back with a route.
