Philosophy
Our model
“Another way of traveling, accompanying the donkeys to enjoy nature in another way”
Astotrek's philosophy, in addition to traveling in a sustainable way, is the result of our life trajectory: eating what is grown in our own garden, connecting with nature, living more peacefully and in a way that is respectful of nature and animals, or enriching ourselves from relationships.
Traveling to the rhythm of the donkeys connects you with nature and reinforces values based on respect
See FAQAritz and Elena, fellow travelers
We have been traveling together for more than half our lives, discovering new cultures and ways of life and enjoying what nature offers us. That's what we like the most.
The Alps, Andes, Himalayas... In 2014 and 2015 we traveled through 22 countries in Asia, Oceania and America, taking only the most basic items with us. We decided our next destination based on what we felt at each moment.
“Two years
all over
the world”
From then on we decided to become more aware of our lives and relate more closely to the earth. In a small farm in Berastegi we put a vegetable garden and some animals for self-consumption (chickens, rabbits, sheep...) and Luki, our mule.
The GR12 journey as a starting point
Our dream began to take shape in 2020. We equipped Luki with panniers and made an eight-day journey through the Pyrenees spending the night in the mountain huts. We were fascinated by the experience and decided to offer this way of traveling to other people, in this wonderful place where we live.
