Let's talk!
Who are we?
Luis Canales
Founder
I feel that my house is my house but that the mountain is my home.
I am a lover of nature and I am passionate about the therapeutic art of mountaineering, either running or walking. When I am up there, I feel a deep communion of my being with the mountain.
I am a mountain guide, adventurer and climber.
I've lived for almost 18 years in the Sacred Valley of the Incas, Cusco, in a beautiful rural community called Arin. I've practiced mountaineering since I was a child with the Boy Scouts of Peru, then alone as an adult and now I practice this full time as my profession.
DO WHAT YOU LOVE AND LOVE WHAT YOU DO.
I feel that mountaineering is not just the simple act of walking up a mountain: it is a therapy that regenerates you, strengthens you, renews your energy and awakens your conscience. Why? Because the mountain is a living being with high energetic vibrations, so immense that it has to manifest itself, here on earth, as a mountain.
Our mission
Our mission is to accompany, guide and share experiences in the mountains as tools for spiritual and personal growth. The mountain is a school that inspires one to love life by visiting mysterious places that have the power to evoke an intense feeling of the sacred.
We also aim to connect with the culture and the people of the high Andean areas of Peru.
Our Vision
Our vision is to help humanity make healthy contact with nature as a solution to all problems. We are nature.
The mountains provide us with an environment of high energetic vibrations that renew us and therefore strengthen the body, muscles, joints, etc.; in addition to fighting mental ailments such as depression, stress, etc.
We promise to keep the mountains clean, exactly as we found them.
We also aim to create shelters together with the high Andean communities to exchange artistic activities; and to carry out sustainable tourism with the local farmers.
Our Purpose
Mountaineering consists of hiking in the mountains.
It is considered a sport, but in our case we also consider it a way of life in which the relationship between man and nature is the fusion between the being and the existing.
We organize outings to the mountains, and sometimes include artistic activities that elevate our consciousness and help us connect with who we are, with the voice of our souls.
So, in addition to hiking, which is the activity itself, we also offer different artistic activities such as bio-dance, singing, meditation, painting, yoga, music, etc.
Our objetives
-
To keep the mountains clean, despite the fact that plastic is increasingly reaches these places.
-

-
To work together with the high Andean communities, learning from their tasks and contributing to their economy. For example, by hiring their services as muleteers, by renting their horses, mules, llamas; by hiring their cooking services; and by renting their spaces as refuge areas for artistic workshops, etc.
-
To share artistic activities with children and adults of the high Andean zones.
-
Doing reforestation, working with environmental institutions.
-
To show gratitude to these beautiful places of pristine nature, we carry out cleaning projects once a year in each place we visit.
