The trip was great and we enjoyed the falls very much.  Both of our guides were great also, very professional and helpful.  So thanks for your help in getting this tour organised.

Every aspect of my trip to Manu was above and beyond my expectations!  The guides were so knowledgeable. Without them, my experience wouldn’t be half as pleasurable.

I would not only consider Andean Trails as an option if I were lucky enough to be looking for another adventure, it would be my first choice.

I was quite amazed how everything just fell into place, arriving on time, transfers showing up as planned, reaching destinations, airplanes departing and arriving on time, wildlife showing up on queue in the Amazon, and very nice weather. I was also very pleased to have limited bug bites after the Amazon region.  The local tour operator was great, handling everything from translation and direction to providing the vegetarian meals for my friend. I tried the guinea pig meal. Glad I tried it, but don’t need to try it a second time haha.

Iguazu also exceeded expectation – we have been to Niagara but Iguazu is just another ball game altogether, what a place!  And a wonderful guide too – Elcio – who was very patient and unrushed and for whom nothing was too much trouble.

We had a great time but for sure this is one tough but wonderful trek. The 9hr coach from Lima to Huaraz was a nightmare so we cheated and flew back in 50mins. The bags came back on the bus though! Everything went smoothly so MANY, MANY thanks.

I loved it-had wonderful time-we saw so many mountains & glaciers. At first I was unsure about the idea of having optional excursions but on reflection I do think that was a good idea – I did the glacier walk but many did not & I opted to have more time in Ushuaia rather than see the penguins. The food was excellent, the tents I had were fine & the facilities on the campsites were good. The hostels were also clean & comfortable. Overall the trip was really well organised by our leader there – Lucia – she is such a nice person & very good at her job, she made sure everything went smoothly & that we all had a good time.

I think only one work can describe our trip and that is ‘spectacular!’.  Both of us want to sincerely express our thanks and gratitide for everything you did to make our trip as incredible as it was. From beginning to end, everything worked like clockwork, we just seemed to moved seamlessly from one stage to the next. When it comes to the trek, we wanted an adventure and that is exactly what we got!

Our guide Lobo was outstanding! Incredibly knowledgable, fun, patient and inspirational in lots of ways, he contributed massively to our huge enjoyment of the hike. He was always keen to ensure that everyone was safe, happy and well fed!

The food was 5 star, we were in a group of 8 and we could not believe that night after night the chef prepared the most incredible meals, both of us agreed that we ate better at 4,000m than we did at sea level! The porters who supported the trek were also outstanding, nothing was too much trouble, everything was done with a smile and every single porter was quite literally olympic in their efforts to make sure everything (dining tent, food, toilets etc) was timed perfectly to be ready as soon as we arrived to camp.  The views were breathtaking, the hiking fantastic and a good challenge, the weather perfect and we met some incredible people on our journey and that was before we even made it to Machu Picchu – which was everything we hoped it would be and more! You will be glad to hear that I also managed to pack within our weight limit too… another achievement for me!  Neither of us can speak highly enough of our trip. It really was one of those holidays where you come back with you heart still in the place you left. I have already been raving to all my co-workers about the trip and recommending Andean Trails-  you certainly made a good impression!  The highlight was going to sleep on the second night camping and seeing the cloud sit below in a huge gulf of a valley with the mountains rising from the clouds under an incredible carpet of stars! Certainly no low points on this trip! It was 5* –  I really cannot rate anything higher – we were seriously impressed by everything! Thanks so much again Alan, we really did have the dream trip – thanks for everything you did to make it happen!

Thank you so much! It has been an absolute pleasure working with Alan at Andean Trails. Have been very impressed at the ease, speed and professionalism he has shown us supporting our booking. Cannot wait to go on our trip!!

Safe and sound back in the UK, sadly back at work but it was a great trip. The weather was good to us and we had fantastic views from most of the summits. A fantastic experience that I would happily recommend to anyone interested and has left me with a taste for more. We were also lucky to catch the end of Carnival with the end of our trip which was an unsuspected bonus! I would like to make a special mention of our guide Wilson, who did a great job of looking after us and keeping us entertained. He really went out of his way to make sure that we had everything we could want and again would recommend his skills, experience and company to anyone interested in walking in Ecuador. Many thanks

We had a good time…..was great. The highlight was seeing the last camp inca site, we arrived in the afternoon and managed to hit the site at dusk, and of course Machu Pichu was awesome as well.

What a stunning part of the Andes,  for wilderness, wild life (flamingos, vicunas, viscachas), and vast open spaces, at over 4,000 metres this is not to be missed. The small village of Sajama is supported by vast flocks of alpaca. The volcano towers above the village.  Accommodation is simple but comfortable, food is delicious and the hot springs with such a beautiful backdrop are unbeatable. This really off the beaten track.

Thanks so much for organising a longer stay in the jungle with a trip to TRC as well as Refugio Amazonas. Both were great – but the time we spent at TRC, with fewer other tourists and lots more rare wildlife, was really outstanding, not least thanks to our guide Jhin. Both of us – but particularly Clare, I know – loved the working/research nature of the place and the more in-depth contact with the wildlife.

I write you to thank you for organising the trip for us. Everything was perfect, we didn’t encounter any problems whatsoever. We also appreciate the choice of accommodations, they were pleasant and comfy. We would definitely recommend you and Andean Trails to our friends.

Andean Trails were very helpful in getting us properly advised about the trip in advance, they did everything they could to ensure people had a good time and took great trouble over many minor details that contribute significantly to overall satsfaction. The guide they assigned to our group, Zambo, was also excellent – knowledgeable and caring.
