FOUNDERS OF ANDEAN ROOTS PERU E.I.R.L.
Hernán Gutierrez Serrano, the founder of Andean Roots Peru studied tourism in 2006 at a prestigious university in Cusco, however in the third semester he had to quit studying to start working as he could not afford to pay for his studies at the university and his English Course. He had a hard time these days, but Hernan never gave up.
Since Hernán had the skill of speaking fluently English and German started working in different prestigious hotels as a receptionist and reservations assistant, but what he really wanted to do was show the culture and history of his country to people from all over the world, thus he started working in different Travel Agencies selling and organizing Tour Packages for clients from all over the world and at the same time he was able to finish her career of Tourism and graduated as an Official Tour Guide. The fact of working in these travel agencies taught him to provide an excellent service to his clients and motivated him to open his own company. In October 7, 2015 Hernán Gutierrez Serrano together with his wife Aydee Soto Almiron, thanks to the motivation of their daughter Lucelle with 4 months in the womb, launched their own Travel Agency Andean Roots Peru to the Tourism Market being the only workers. Thanks to all the knowledge they were able to acquire during all these years, today Hernán and Aydee together with their team of professionals in Tourism can offer all their clients exclusive trips, ranging from short trips in the Peruvian Andes to long excursions that take us to know the best of our country.
The Philosophy of the Andean Roots Team is simple. Provide the best travel experience in Cusco and throughout Peru

All our skilled personnel have a passionate interest in every field they work by turning the impossible into possible and they are capable to make almost everything achievable and succeed in what they do.

Our cooks have a wide experience in cooking and preparing meals during our treks and excursions, the hygienic conditions and how the ingredients should be manipulated are learned during intensive training process to avoid any problem that would affect the wellbeing of the group. They know after long distance walk you need to eat and drink lots of water that is why they prepare plenty of food mainly made from local products such as Quinoa, potatoes and alpaca meat.
We treat with respect our porters comparing to other companies. They mainly come from their impoverished villages looking for job opportunities and so make some income. We support all our porters who work for us by providing a complete set of uniform and also receive a good salary. Apart from that, we arrange campaigns of social works in the communities they live. We serve hot chocolate and give gifts to their children in Christmas and important dates. This initiative is very important for our company because thanks to our porters we will continue with our projects as a travel agency and they can help their families, working for us and so reduce the unemployment rate in our country.
We as Andean Roots Perú, a Travel Company based in Perú reject all kind of exploitation and sexual commerce of minors and we support the campaign Eyes everywhere against the Sexual Exploitation Commercial of Children and Adolescents. Our Company urges you to report any possible cases of child sexual exploitation to the Peruvian Authorities.
We think that responsible, sustainable, green and ethical tourism should be core to all our tours. Put simply, to us Responsible Tourism is all about trying to travel in a way that benefits the people who live in the places we visit, while making sure we try to minimize any negative impact we potentially have (on the environment, landscape, culture, the eco-system and the people.
We are 100% ECO-FRIENDLY. Period. It is important for us to avoid anything that is harmful to the trail and other sacred sites! The environment is something we are very passionate about. We engage in eco-friendly habits and practices by being more conscious of how we use resources.
We hope your journey with us will delight and inspire you and look forward to sharing these experiences with you in South America.
