Safe Transportation: Respecting Our Drivers on Andean Roads

A successful and ethical expedition to Choquequirao doesn’t begin at the trailhead; it begins the moment you step into our vehicles in Cusco.

Our commitment to ethics extends to the very beginning of your journey. The drivers (*transportistas*) who navigate the winding Andean roads to get you safely to the start of the trek are an integral part of our team and our success.

Navigating mountain roads requires immense skill, focus, and responsibility. To ensure both the dignity of our drivers and the safety of our passengers, we strictly adhere to the following standards:

– **Fair Hours and Rest:** We ensure our drivers are well-rested, fairly compensated, and never pushed to drive beyond safe working hours. Fatigue is the biggest risk on mountain roads, and we eliminate it through proper scheduling.
– **Vehicle Maintenance:** Their vehicles are strictly maintained and subjected to rigorous safety checks before every single departure.
– **No Cutting Corners:** We value the lives of our team and our passengers above all else, refusing to cut corners or rush journeys when it comes to transportation safety.

By ensuring our drivers are treated with respect and given the resources they need, we guarantee a safe, comfortable, and stress-free start to your Choquequirao adventure.
