The Meaning of Chaski
Before there were maps, there were chaskis.
In the Inca Empire, they were the elite relay runners who raced across 25,000 miles of mountain roads, through thin air and over rope bridges, carrying messages and treasures to the far corners of the empire. In Quechua, the word means “he who receives and gives.” They were fast, fearless, and trusted with everything.
We’re a mother-daughter team whose love of travel grew into something we couldn’t keep to ourselves. So we built Chaski on a simple idea: a great trip needs a great chaski. Someone who knows every switchback of the route, earns your trust, and gets you exactly where you want to go.
Now it’s our turn to carry something to you: the world’s most extraordinary places, and the know-how to reach them.
