Dersou – The Depths of Nature, the Power of Community
Welcome to Dersou
The Dersou Project was created by professional guides for professional guides, bringing them together around a shared goal: to make every journey more meaningful, safe, and inspiring.
We partner with local guides to build an international network that encourages exchange and collaboration.
We enhance the visibility of those who guide our explorations, protect the land, and share their passion.
