Responsibility Begins With Our Team

At Salkantay Trekking, responsible travel isn't only about protecting the trails and landscapes we visit. It also means looking after the people who make every trip possible: our guides, cooks, porters, horsemen, and the administrative team in our Cusco office.

That's why we invest in ongoing training for our staff. From first aid courses to workshops that promote a safe and respectful workplace, each initiative helps us grow as a team and offer a better, safer experience to everyone who travels with us.

In this section, we share the trainings and initiatives we carry out, what we learned from them, and how they benefit our travelers.

Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers about how Salkantay Trekking understands responsible travel and the trainings we provide to our team.

What does responsible travel mean at Salkantay Trekking?

For us, responsible travel means caring for the people, communities, and places that are part of every trip. It includes fair and safe working conditions for our team, respect for local culture, and protecting the natural environment along the trails.

Why does Salkantay Trekking train its staff?

A well-prepared team works better and looks after travelers better. Trainings such as first aid courses or workplace respect workshops give our staff the knowledge to act in unexpected situations and to build a safe, healthy work environment.

Who takes part in these trainings?

Depending on the topic, trainings are aimed at our administrative team in Cusco, our field staff (guides, cooks, porters, and horsemen), or the whole company.

Who leads the trainings?

We work with qualified professionals and specialized organizations. For example, our first aid course was led by professionals from the private clinic O2 Medical Network, and our sexual harassment prevention workshops were led by a psychologist.

How do these trainings benefit travelers?

A traveler's experience begins long before reaching the mountains. From the first contact with our office to the last day on the trail, travelers interact with a team that knows how to respond to emergencies and treats everyone with respect.

Will you publish more initiatives in the future?

Yes. Training is an ongoing part of how we work, and we'll keep sharing new courses, workshops, and responsible travel initiatives in this section.
