Long before it reached European markets and global menus, the potato grew in silence, watched over by mountain hands.
It was not easy to grow. It was not sweet, nor simple. But the Andean people didn’t just harvest it — they shaped it. With altitude, time, and knowledge passed down like seeds.

Over 3,000 varieties, each adapted to a specific slope, soil, and sky. Each with a name, a purpose, a flavor.

Today, the potato is everywhere. On every table. In every language.
But the roots are here.
Still deep. Still alive.

Today, we also honor the people who never stopped growing it.
Who protect its diversity like it’s a story — because it is.

Feliz día de la papa. 🥔

As we get closer to wrapping up this selection of our favorite routes, we couldn’t leave out one that holds a special place for us.

The Vilcabamba trek takes you through one of the most remote and historically rich regions of Peru. Tucked away in the cloud forests northwest of Cusco, this trail leads through quiet valleys, small mountain villages, and ancient Inca sites reclaimed by the jungle.

Unlike other high-altitude routes, Vilcabamba offers a different kind of beauty—lush, green, and full of depth. It’s a slower, more reflective journey, where the landscapes feel timeless and the connection to history runs deep.

One of the most unique treks we’ve done, and one we always recommend to those looking to explore beyond the usual paths.

We’re back to share more of the treks that have captured our hearts—routes that continue to remind us why we love these mountains so deeply.

This time, we take you north, to the Cordillera Blanca, where the Llanganuco – Santa Cruz trek unfolds like a living postcard. It’s a route that stirs something quiet and profound: towering white peaks reflected in still lagoons, valleys that stretch endlessly under open skies, and crisp air that carries the sound of nothing but your breath and the wind.

Over a few days, you pass beneath giants like Alpamayo and Huascarán, cross high mountain passes, and camp in places so serene they hardly feel real. It’s a trek of clear waters, turquoise lakes, and trails lined with queñuales, those magical twisted trees that seem to hold stories in their bark.

More than a physical journey, Santa Cruz is a walk through silence, beauty, and stillness—a reminder of how small we are, and how lucky we are to witness these places.

Peru shined at the Global Big Day 2025!

In this global celebration of birds and biodiversity, Our country proudly secured 2nd place worldwide with an incredible 1,399 species recorded.
In the heart of the jungle, Madre de Dios stood out with 537 species, placing 3rd in Peru — a reminder of the magic that lives in our forests.

For those who don’t know, the Global Big Day is an international birdwatching event where bird lovers from every corner of the planet come together for one day to observe and record as many species as possible. It’s a powerful expression of community, nature, and curiosity.

And for us, it’s personal — birdwatching is Zacaria’s favorite thing in the world, and every year we follow his lead with joy and wonder. Watching more people join in year after year has been truly inspiring.

That’s why we’ve designed new journeys that leave space for moments like these — to slow down, listen, and be present in the wild.

Happy Mother’s Day!
Today we honor all mothers, and we hold close our mamachas from the Andes - Women whose hands are shaped by labor and time, who mother from the body, from the earth, from memory. Who carry their wawas (babies) in the qepe —a colorful, handwoven cloth that keeps them warm and safe. The qepe is more than a cloth —it is an ancestral bond: it warms, supports, connects. In it, the baby travels not only against the mother’s back, but close to her heartbeat.

Feliz día mamichas!

Earth day - Today we celebrate our home.
We believe that traveling is also a way to honor the Earth: walking with respect, caring for every place we visit, and connecting authentically with nature, the mountains, the rivers, and the land that sustains us.
We also honor all the papichos and mamichas who work the land every day, keeping alive the bond between people and nature.

Happy earth day! 🌱 🌍

Next on the list of our favorite treks, we have the incredible Ausangate Glacier route—one of the most awe-inspiring journeys in Peru.

Ausangate, the highest and most majestic peak in southern Peru, promises a trekking experience like no other—remote, raw, and breathtakingly beautiful.

This five-day trek takes you deep into the stunning Cordillera Vilcanota, southeast of Cusco, as you circumnavigate the towering Ausangate (Apu Awsanqati), which rises to 6,380m (20,931ft).

This route includes multiple high-altitude passes and a landscape that seems pulled from another world—turquoise lagoons, grazing alpacas, and snow-capped peaks everywhere you turn.
