Conservation and the Great Inca Trail Treks
Travel That Gives Back
Community
The people of North and South America are an integral part of our team. This means that when you purchase a trip with us, you can ensure that you’re directly supporting the livelihoods of the people in our destinations.
Conservation
Travel can be a positive, powerful force in the protection of ecology and ways of life. By placing economic value on vulnerable environmental and cultural heritage, you can promote conservation while also gaining meaningful experiences.
Awareness
Our company’s exploration initiatives in South America build critical awareness to promote sustainable tourism development and put economic value on vulnerable natural and cultural heritage.
THE GREAT INCA TRAIL
Beginning in 2016, our founder and chief explorer Nick Stanziano embarked on a quest. Walking for thousands of miles with a team of llamas across the Andes, he sought to revive the dormant spirit of the Qhapaq Ñan, also known as the Great Inca Trail. His efforts continue to bring awareness and promote the conservation of this forgotten jewel of the Inca Empire.
You can follow along the expeditions as they happened every day in the team's electronic travelogue below.
