Our Porters
We employ around 90 porters. They all are farmers by trade and are native Quechua speakers. They are mainly from the three villages of Huacawasi, Calca and Patacancha. Along the Inca trail they are called our “Orange Machine” our Super Porters. Our incredible porters are ready to carry your camping gear and food at all times. They are happy to help you with your necessities. It is important to us that we employ porters from the local villages. By doing so we are supporting their local economies and supplying them with a reliable income.
Most of them have more than 6 children and need employment. Orange Nation Peru makes sure that all of our porters´ families are supported and ensure the children are educated and supplied with the necessary equipment like books and notebooks.
