VALUES

Adventure Travel is our choice because we believe in the inherent value of exploring nature and remote locations with the purpose of discovering through active physical involvement. This style of travel brings forth new sensory experiences through actively participating and getting into landscapes.

Responsible Travel as a means to provide opportunities and good working conditions for people who live in the Andes. We are local, we go local, we choose local suppliers and comply with the Principles of Fair Trade ©. Travelling with A&L the traveller can be assured that he is benefiting the local industry.

Heritage and traditions traditions make us who we are, hence respect for all aspects of historical, traditional and cultural expressions are the core of our guiding philosophy. Local living history is a part of every trip, incorporated when done respectfully. We believe travel should maintain archaeological and historical sites.

Conservation of the natural environment during trip planning and operation, guided by the Leave No Trace Seven Principles ©. We understand travel as a tool for conservation and protection of biological diversity.

WHY THE TRAVEL

At A&L our travel expeditions are not a means to an end. We see travel as an opportunity to bond with your friends and family, challenge your comfort zone, slow down and look at life with new eyes. Learn, discover, be curious. When travelling with A&L you support local community projects, providing income and empowerment by respecting their land and traditions. Responsible and sustainable travel is about shared experiences, exchange and respect. We design trips that leave no trace in the environment and a positive impact for the local communities. A&L creates trips for travellers who enjoy active trips that also have context and meaning.

“Responsible travel is not only better for the world, it's also more interesting and memorable”.
