The organization and guidance during this roundtrip is in the hands of a guide that works and lives in Latin America, speaks fluently Spanish, English, has an extended experience in traveling and guiding in the various countries of Argentina, Cuba, Bolivia, Peru, Chile & Brasil. He initiated and runs his own tour company and designs tailor made travels for Latin America for individual travellers, businesses, family and groups. He makes regularly study travels into the Andes with an Indian Master and shaman, which has given him the insight to understand the cosmological and multidimensional reality of the present and former Andean cultures. The combination of his knowledge and experience is a guarantee that you will have an extraordinary & inspiring journey through the Andes & Latin America.
A holiday to the remote areas in the Andes brings income to local people, guides and organizations. All excursions and treks are guided by local guides and organized by local organisations. The companies that take care of the transport are locally owned, the accommodations are chosen for ambiance, style & location and both result in a direct income and employment for the local people. The local tour operators we work with are all small & professional companies.
This journey is a cross cultural travel in which we intend to create a mutual benefit out of the meeting of cultures and inspire local communities in offering locally produced goods & services which respect Life. When we visit local communities in remote areas, we ask participants, if appropriate, to leave articles for the children for school or leave a donation to a school. For those who are interested one of the free days in Cusco can be used to visit a social project in the Urubamba valley which supports street children, takes care of their education & healthcare.
