Less tourism. More travel.

For us, traveling isn't about checking places off a list—it's about truly living them. We like to move slowly, mix with local people, try new flavors and let the destination set the pace. We seek adventures, yes, but also quiet moments, shared laughs and that feeling of being exactly where you need to be.

We travel with good vibes, open minds and a real desire to discover the world from the inside. We like to show destinations as they really are, without forced filters or rush, focusing on experiences, people and the small details that make each trip unique. Because when you connect with the place and the group, the trip transforms into something that stays with you forever.

Iván Martínez - Co-fundador de Awayna

Iván Martínez

Expedition leader

Iván is approachable and laid-back, with an adventurous spirit and infinite curiosity. From a young age he devoured documentaries, and that pushed him to leave his job to discover the world camera in hand. Photography is his way of looking and telling what he lives. His first solo trip was to India, where he trained as a yoga instructor, something he carries to every destination. He firmly believes that when there are good vibes, everything else flows on its own.

Alejandro Pérez

Expedition leader

Alex is simple and very clear about what he wants in life. He loves nature, the outdoors and discovering new cultures, especially if there's good food involved. He's talkative, fun and has the soul of an explorer, needing to cover every corner of the destinations he visits. He has endless energy, so sport always goes in his bag. He seems to improvise and go with the flow, but deep down he has everything well thought out. An easy-going, curious travel companion with great vibes.
