The people who make our journeys possible are often the ones we see the least.

They carry the equipment, prepare the meals and work behind the scenes so thousands of travellers can experience the Inca Trail.

The recent death of porter Gabriel Ríos Mamani is a tragic reminder that we need to pay more attention to the working conditions of the people at the heart of tourism.

Choosing a responsible company is about more than a beautiful itinerary or a good price. It means asking who is behind the experience and whether they are treated with the respect, support and protection they deserve.
