Our Story
Carrera de Indias S.L. was born as a pioneering initiative in the education sector, with the firm conviction and purpose of transforming the way historical, scientific, and technological knowledge is researched, taught, and transmitted. Inspired by the vast cultural heritage of the Carrera de Indias—the largest cultural and economic exchange operation in history between Europe and the Americas—we reinterpret this legacy from a contemporary perspective: digital, accessible, and profoundly educational.
Since our inception, we have been committed to methodological innovation, to an integrative vision that values historical research and the creation of digital content as key tools for building bridges between the past and the future. Our approach is based on integrating academic research with cutting-edge technology to bring history, science, and culture closer to today’s audiences.
We are a bridge between knowledge and innovation.
As an educational startup that develops large-scale research projects and is committed to the fusion of history, technology, and active learning. We were founded with the purpose of reinterpreting the past through digital tools that impact the present.
Our approach is based on academic rigor, technological innovation, and a passion for dissemination. We want future generations to experience history in a vibrant, participatory, and accessible way.
