Story behind the name

What does the name Sariri mean?

“Sariri” means “The Ancestral Messenger” in Aymara, an ancient indigenous language of Peru & Bolivia in South America.  The inspiration and story behind the name comes from Andrea’s grandfather who was born in the land of the Aymara people (Lake Titicaca) and left at a young age to explore the Andean mountains in search of new land, people and cultures.

Enrique Landaeta travelled for many months by horse from Peru to Chile crossing the Andes Mountains, arriving in Valdivia, the Chilean Lake District, and what would become Andrea’s family home to this very day.
His adventures didn’t end there as later in life, together with his two best friends, he set off in a 1934 Ford Cabriolet travelling from Chile to Venezuela (photo below), where Andrea spent most of her young life and where her passion for travel was ignited.

Enrique Landaeta stories marked Andrea’s life and his journeys inspired her travels to unknown lands.
