Advice from people who know the places

Choosing between treks, regions and routes is easier when you can speak to someone who knows them. We draw on our travels to help you decide where to stay, which activities to include and what to expect along the way.

Ask us about the walking, the accommodation or the practicalities of getting from one place to another. We’ll help you work out what suits you.

“It’s also great to have somebody at the end of a phone/email who knows what they are talking about”

A holiday that suits you

Your trip might centre on a challenging mountain trek, close encounters with wildlife or time spent exploring towns and local culture. You might want a little of everything.

We’ll help you choose a group departure or develop a tailor-made itinerary around your interests, fitness, available time and budget.

“As soon as I realised that we would be able to make a tour that suited our dates and our ever-growing wish-list, it was clear that this was going to be the best company to book through.”

We help with the details

A good itinerary needs more than a list of places to visit. Travel times, connections, permits and the pace of each day all need consideration.

We help bring those details together, with your itinerary setting out the arrangements included in your holiday.

“Andean Trails did an excellent job managing all the details, including the transfer of our luggage, so I could travel light and enjoy the activities. The bike I used was high quality, making the rides comfortable and fun. Everything was well-organised, which made the whole trip stress-free and enjoyable.”

People you can speak to

Planning a holiday often brings questions you hadn’t thought of at the start. You can speak to our team as your ideas take shape and as you prepare to travel.

During your holiday, our local guides and partners provide support on the ground. Your final travel documents also include emergency contact details, so you know who to contact if you need help.

“We chose Andean Trails because of the customer service.”

When plans need to change

Travel in remote places can involve unexpected changes. Weather, transport disruption or local conditions may affect an itinerary, making knowledgeable local support particularly valuable.

One of our travellers described how a change of plans became an enjoyable part of their holiday:

“No, everything did not go to plan due to strikes in Puno, so didn’t make it to Lake Titicaca, but a last minute change to Sacred Valley was organised which we really enjoyed.”
