Matteo Luthi, Managing Director, Journey Mexico

Matteo brings over 20 years of experience with Mexico's top tourism companies to his role as Partner and Managing Director at Journey Mexico. Born and raised in Switzerland and Italy, he combines European precision with innovative spirit. Since making Mexico home two decades ago, Matteo has designed programs for high-end travelers and led operations for the country's most respected travel businesses. He ensures seamless execution of Journey's bespoke itineraries while continually developing new experiences. Passionate about building relationships with local partners, Matteo can often be found scuba diving off the Yucatán Peninsula or exploring Mexico's hidden corners.

Decades on the Ground

Zach and Matteo met in Journey Mexico’s early days, quickly discovering a shared passion for Mexico, for exploration, and for the paths less trodden; both fuelled by an infectious can-do attitude. Matteo loved Zach’s vision of sharing Mexico’s world class nature, culture, and adventure, with a positive impact for all involved; and they were united by the ethos that “the most important thing is not where the bus is going, but the people on the bus.” Journey Mexico has grown with that same energy ever since, bringing together a group of talented people who understand the nuances that make journeys special for each and every client.
