Our Story

A woman official tourist guide, after her first service as an

assistant guide with a group of hikers on the famous Inca trail,

learned that this profession authenticated her life as a woman

from the Andes, working in the mountains became

one of her strongest inspirations to work for years in the industry

as such and to develop new projects for her community.

In Peru, many things have changed regarding how tourism has

influenced the lives of many local people, in some cases very

positively but also negatively, and all this has awakened the desire

to practice actions that improve our lives as indigenous men

and women in the face of new influences from the world.

The appearance of Mother Earth Treks has formed its team

of women and men identified in good practices to make a positive

impact during the development of our actions within

tourism in Peru.
