It seems like a long time ago that myself and close friends, some still members of our team, began exploring the surroundings of Cusco, backpacking into remote areas where Andean people still lived immersed in their ancient traditions and beliefs, practicing subsistence agriculture in inaccessible valleys.
We started over 30 years ago as a real adventure company doing what we enjoy most: hiking, climbing, river-rafting, being in contact with the Andean culture and searching to discover the hidden secrets and natural beauty as well as the recent past of the Andean back country.
As the first company to commit to developing trekking and river-running trips in South America, we pioneered many routes in and around the Cordilleras of the Andes, opening old Inca Trails and ancient colonial pack trails to remote mountain areas.
Nowadays, Explorandes is a regional tour operator. Our company has evolved and we have more and more adventure, soft adventure and cultural programs as well as specialized itineraries. We are also very strong in tailor-made and custom trips that suit particular needs of individuals and groups with special interests.
Moreover, we have worked hard during 3 years to achieve the ISO 14001 certification and finally we obtained it in 2003, being the first adventure travel operator in Latin America to receive such a certification, and possibly worldwide.
Our team is the most valued asset we have. We are all dedicated to serve our clients above and beyond their expectations. Our staff is well-trained in health, safety and environmental matters. We have clear policies and abide by the highest standards of quality and environmental responsibility thereby preserving nature, as well as our ancient treasures sprinkled all over this mega diverse country.
We are more than willing to put on that extra effort to make a trip extraordinary and beyond your expectations assuring you that we are big enough to take care of you and small enough to care about you.
Explore the Andes with us! Come and enjoy our passion and have the time of your life!
Explorandes is the first adventure tour operator with an ISO14001 certified Environmental System for our operations in adventure and cultural travel as well in our officies nationwide
