Our Porters represent the Peruvian people, both men, and women who are at the heart of our company. It is not possible to create the experience we provide without the unbelievably hard work of our team of porters. They are made up of men and women of varying ages who are willing to leave their homes several hours away for days at a time. They typically are farmers.
Being a porter is a hard job. Sadly, you will see many other companies with porters that have sandals that are falling apart. Many are sleeping on the floor without blankets and eating food without utensils. For us, this is an unacceptable way to treat our Peruvian people, so we try to be a leader in the treatment of all our porters.
We go out of our way to treat them with respect providing fair wages and proper equipment. We care for their health and the health of their families, and we are committed to social projects to help enrich their lives. Most of our team started as porters, including our owner Raul, and we hope we can improve their lives since they improve our company.
We have opened our doors to the women of Cusco, and have been lucky enough to have Female Porters. They work for us with even bigger smiles and brighter spirits. We are so excited for you to meet our amazing Green Machine Team.
