Über Uns
At its core Senderos is passionate about Latin America and the positive cultural and environmental impact that true sustainable tourism can bring.
We are a UK based Sales, PR and Marketing agency representing to the trade a portfolio of unique, authentic and award winning travel experiences across Latin America.
Simon Heyes, Founding Director
Simon fell head over heels for Latin America back in the early 90’s, when he spent two very happy years working as a guide in the Venezuela Andes and Chilean Lake District, and travelling widely in the continent. On his return to the UK Simon’s passion for Latin American was reflected in all his best life choices. He has been an advocate of Latin America, its people, landscapes and languages ever since: at first working for leading UK tour operators and then in 2004 starting Senderos, to provide his very favourite places with a marketing presence to UK tour operators.
Gareth Lyons, Director
Gareth studied tourism in the UK before moving to Germany, where he spent over 10 years working for a leading specialist tour operator for South America. He also worked in Brazil for 2 years and has travelled extensively in South America. After returning to the UK Gareth worked at a specialist tour operator for Latin America before representing a group of Latin American leading incoming tour operators in London. He has worked at Senderos since 2007 and in addition to working our UK business he has built up the German-speaking side, using his considerable experience there. Gareth speaks fluent German and Portuguese.
