Altitude Porters

The men and women of Peru who make up the core of our business are represented by our porters. Without the incredible effort put forward by our staff of porters, we would not be able to give the experience that we do. They are made up of men and women of various ages who are prepared to travel for days on end from their homes that are several hours away. Typically, they are farmers.

different businesses wearing torn-up footwear. Many people are eating without utensils and sleeping on the floor without blankets. We attempt to set an example in how to handle all of our porters because we believe that this is an unacceptable way to treat our Peruvian population.

We make an effort to treat them respectfully by paying them fairly and providing them with the necessary tools. We are devoted to social projects that will improve their lives and the lives of their families because we care about their health.

We’ve been fortunate enough to have female porters and have opened our doors to the women of Cusco. They are even happier and more upbeat when they are working for us.
