Supporting the People
Behind Every Journey
Every unforgettable adventure begins long before our travelers arrive.
Behind each trek is a network of local guides, cooks, drivers, muleteers, artisans, family businesses and small producers whose dedication makes every journey possible.
Rather than relying on large national distributors, we intentionally purchase many of our supplies through trusted local businesses in the Sacred Valley that connect us with dozens of regional producers. Many of these producers are small family enterprises with limited distribution. Working through local shops allows us to support a broader network of entrepreneurs while reducing transportation distances and strengthening the regional economy.
Whenever possible, we purchase products in bulk and repack them using reusable containers to reduce packaging waste during our expeditions.
Because responsible tourism is not only about where we travel—it is also about who benefits from every journey.
