Our program is based in leadership and teambuilding activities, to be carried out mainly through the natural tasks that must be undertaken to achieve the success of the expedition plus some Andes Explora ingredients, that strengthen group virtues as group cohesion, effective communication, teamwork, and leadership.

WHY IN THE WILDERNESS?

In ANDES EXPLORA, we have found that wild areas are excellent places to strengthen human relations; leadership, and teamwork. The situations are real and the feedback is immediate.

Teams will be able to plan and lead their peers on a successful wilderness trip. These skills learned in the wilderness will be transferred to the daily work in all kinds of endeavors.

BUILDING HUMAN RELATIONSHIPS

Human relationships are the key to successful Team Work and better efficiency. Nature creates the perfect environment to share and listen, to talk, and know better each other while we learn to work with our team.

WORKING TOGETHER IN DIFFERENT TASKS FOR THE SAME GOALS

Every member of the trip will take a positive and proactive attitude to lead the trip to a successful finish

PASSION IN EVERYTHING!!

In Andes Explora we think people must love what they do. We encourage teams to live their jobs with passion.
