“

Life is what we make of it. Travel is the traveler. What we see isn’t what we see but what we are.

Fernando Pessoa

We always want to provide the best experiences.

We are a team of travelers, just like you

Travel becomes deeply embedded in the essence of each and every one of us.

From the team that daily manages reservations and prepares each itinerary at the agency, to the travel leaders who make the magic happen on the ground, we all give our best to fulfill Papa-Léguas mission: Making travelers happy.

Manifesto

We should have the ability to create positive impact through attitudes and behaviors in the ecosystem where we are embedded, involving staff, guides, clients, followers, and partners.

We must dare to be Humanists and Irreverent in the act of traveling. The journey should have a sense of togetherness, it should be as intimate as possible with the visited locations and go beyond clichés.

We should possess the capability to manage ideas and ideals, create associations, and meanings that translate into the value of our brand. The value should not only be economic, but above all a social, cultural, and environmental asset.

Therefore, it is increasingly urgent to face the world with unique curiosity, with an open mind towards human, social, and environmental dimensions.

Mission

INSPIRE + DISCOVER + PROTECT + SHARE

Papa-Léguas mission is to make travelers happy, inspiring them to discover and protect the planet, leaving a positive impact in the places visited and amplifying that impact through sharing among peers.

Vision

Papa-Léguas is an active travel operator. We are committed to creating tourist activities that align with the environmental preservation of ecosystems, the protection of tangible and intangible heritage, and the economic and social development of the visited destinations. We aspire to continue growing in an ethical, socially, and culturally responsible manner.

Values

We believe in a Humanistic way of traveling.

We believe in the Honesty and Authenticity of the human being, and we value the protection of the environment, society, and economy of the destinations we take our travelers to.

We believe that the act of traveling can be a force for the common good, uniting communities and breaking down prejudices and myths.

We reject any and all discriminatory practices based on race, gender, sexual orientation, or religion, as well as socio-economic conditions.

We reject the mistreatment of animals for tourism, recreational, or any other purposes.
