PERU IS A PATH

Peru is a path.
Where other countries can be captured by a single geographic symbol — Egypt, a valley; Brazil, a jungle; Argentina, a plain; Siberia, a steppe — Peru resists simplification.

It is a path.
No other description fits so precisely.

Since the most ancient times, paths have been the seed and the soul of Peru.

Their deepest meaning is not spatial, but temporal. They are not measured in kilometers, but in millennia of labor and hope.

The path is Peru’s most authentic tradition — a living heritage that grows, generation after generation, as part of the nation’s enduring legacy.

These ancient footpaths now face the threat of a misunderstood modernity.

At F>R, we believe that only by walking them can we save them.

This is an invitation to do just that.

Yanama: an ancient inca trail was the only connection to the outside world, amidst the cordillera behind machu picchu and choquequirao. A new road erased it forever in 2015.
