A flawlessly organised trek in Peru, with efficient local support and a dedicated team that made the whole experience enjoyable despite the weather.
The trip was very well organized – no hitches at all. The Peruvian contacts were very efficient and very accommodating. The walk (other than the weather) was very enjoyable and all the people involved really went out of their way to make it a good experience.
Thanks for your help and I would recommend Andean Trails.
A stunning trek with friendly guides, delicious multi-course meals, and seamless organisation. An unforgettable experience wholeheartedly recommended to others.
The trek itself was absolutely fabulous thank you so much for arranging it for us. My friends and I were thrilled with the service we got- multi course meals all prepared for us and tents set up before we had arrived at the camping locations. Our guide was friendly as were the cooks and the route was stunning.
All in all it was a great success and I truly would recommend it to friends with great enthusiasm.
A challenging yet unforgettable Inca Trail trek with breathtaking scenery, fantastic guides and porters. Truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
My trip was great. The Inca Trail is really really hard.Yikes. I didn’t quite realize what I was getting into however my group was great, good guides, helpful porters and cook so it went very well.
Thanks for your help getting us organized on this trip, it was literally a once in a lifetime trip (partly because I’ll never do that again and mostly because the scenery and ruins are breathtakingly beautiful).
A fantastic Peru adventure combining the Inca Trail and the Amazon, with the awe-inspiring trek to Machu Picchu standing out as the unforgettable highlight.
We had a great trip. I would easily return to do it again and highly recommend the trip to others. Of the two sections Inca Trail to Machu Picchu and the Bio Trip to Manu if I had to choose a favorite, it would be the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu portion. The trail and ruins were amazing.
A tough but rewarding Andean trek with superb local support and seamless organisation. An unforgettable adventure despite the long journey from Lima!
We had a great time, for sure this is one tough but wonderful trek. The 9 hr coach from Lima to Huaraz was a nightmare so we cheated and flew back in 50 mins. The bags came back on the bus though!
Everything went smoothly so MANY, MANY thanks. The local team was superb.
A wonderfully smooth and well-organised trip from the Andes to the Amazon, with excellent guides, great food, and unforgettable adventures like tree climbing and kayaking.
I was amazed at how smoothly everything went, having only had experience in developing countries of Africa and Asia backpacking which is usually quite fraught at airports and railways. We were collected and looked after with absolutely no fuss, refreshments and comforts sorted out all the way by courteous staff.The trekking guides cooks and wranglers were all great. Food was varied tasty and much better than I’d expected. Tents and mats were fine. The Amazon lodge was really nice and the programme you put together kept us busy and entertained. The best bits were jumaring into the tree and kayaking, although it was all good.
A perfectly organised trip through Peru, with expert, hand-picked guides who shared their deep knowledge of wildlife, culture and nature, and made the whole experience truly personal.
Everything went like clockwork and all the people involved were very helpful and most efficient. The three guides we had for our trek, for the Amazon and for Chachapoyas were brilliant. We understand from talking to them that they had been selected to suit our interests, so thank you very much for your attention to detail. Not only were they expert guides and very knowledgeable about birds, plants and animals and Peruvian culture, they were all also lovely people with a genuine interest in us.
An unforgettable journey through Peru’s ancient Chachapoyas region, where the unexcavated ruins of Kuelap and mysterious cliff sarcophagi brought the country’s rich past vividly to life.
The landscape, of course, is very beautiful, and it came alive as you described the people who had lived there and built the amazing sarcophaguses and mausoleums. But I found Kuelap to be even more impressive with its huge stone walls and hundreds of houses. The atmosphere was greater because so little has been excavated, and it was possible to imagine the feelings of the local people or of archaeologists when entering the massive gateway and re-discovering the wonders of the past.
An unforgettable, perfectly organised South American adventure. A fabulous trip that exceeded all expectations.
Muchas gracias Alan! Yes, we had a really fabulous trip – unforgettable. And we’re delighted we went.
A beautifully organised Patagonia adventure. Even with unpredictable El Chaltén weather, everything ran smoothly and the local support made all the difference.
The trip was great! Everything went very smoothly. Due to the unpredictable weather in El Chalten, we weren’t able to do the Fitz Roy trek and had to stay indoors that day. But, Freddy was great and very helpful. Thanks for all your help in organizing it!
An expertly organised Patagonia adventure and Cape Horn cruise, where outstanding staff and professional care turned even unexpected challenges into a memorable experience.
Staff were superb and provided an excellent service. This may have been helped by Sue and I being the only two people staying at the adventure camp. The staff in the office in El Chalten were very good, too. We were lucky that the accident happened on the way down the Loma del Diablo and about 1 hour from the road and also lucky that our guide Juan was able to carry Sue down.
The cruise was great – fantastic organisation, very professional staff and all very interesting. We landed at Cape Horn but were not able to cruise round it as the weather was too bad.
A perfectly organised Patagonia adventure. Everything ran like clockwork, with excellent hotels and refugios making for a truly wonderful trip.
I just wanted to let you know we had a wonderful time. Everything you set up for us worked like clock work and the hotels and refugios were great. Thanks again for making it so easy.
A flawlessly organised Galapagos adventure with an excellent guide, smooth logistics, and a fantastic group — a stress-free trip that exceeded every expectation.
Needless to say, I had a fantastic time in the Galapagos, just as you predicted! Everything went incredibly smoothly – in fact, I don’t think that there is anything I could fault about the whole trip. I was lucky to have a great group and our guide on the islands was fantastic. Everything was extremely well planned and thought out, so we always knew exactly what we were doing and there was absolutely no stress involved. I would (and will) heartily recommend both your, and your local team’s services to anyone interested in travelling to South America and the Galapagos.
Thanks for all your help in the run up and for a great trip.
A fantastic Ecuador climbing adventure with great weather, stunning summit views, and an exceptional guide, capped off by the unexpected bonus of Carnival celebrations.
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. We made it to the summit of Cotopaxi but unfortunately not Chimborazo due to the conditions at the moment.
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.
A flawless, perfectly organised Galapagos cruise aboard the Eric, with an outstanding crew and naturalist, proof that even last-minute trips can be extraordinary.
The boat, Eric, the crew, and the naturalist were all perfect. Thanks so much for your help. Could not have turned out better if I had planned 6 months in advance instead of 6 days. Again Thank You!
A wonderful Galapagos cruise aboard the Letty with two outstanding naturalists, comfortable accommodations, and seamless organisation. An unforgettable wildlife adventure.
Our trip went well and we had a very good time on the Letty boat. I believe we probably had the 2 best naturalists in the Galapagos – their names Cesi and Maria. They were very fun loving and entertaining. The boat was comfortable and we had little in the way of seasickness. Our connections were a little tight and it would be better to arrive in Quito a day ahead as all luggage did not arrive on time, but that was only a minor problem. The hotel you booked for us in Quito was excellent. Thanks.
An outstandingly organised Ecuador climbing trip with excellent guides, successful ascents, and superb service from start to finish. Truly the perfect adventure.
It has been the perfect trip. The accommodations were really nice excluding Banos (but I think that the town has not much more to offer).Your partner volcano climbing agency has provided a really outstanding service (precise,accurate,friendly) thanks to Rami and Wil the climbing guides (a real nice guy).On our side we have been very happy to achieve a 100% success rate in our climbing activity despite despite some very nasty weather on Cotopaxi. At the final end I have to make you my best compliments for the excellent service you provided us.Talk you soon
An unforgettable Patagonian horseback adventure filled with breathtaking scenery, great food, strong horses, and wonderful camaraderie. Everything was simply perfect.

Excellent trekking great guides, crystal clear water of the most incredible aquamarine, giant alerces, granite outcrops, challenges, friendship, laughter…
A flawless Torres del Paine trek with perfect blue skies, an exceptional guide, and seamless organisation, an unforgettable Patagonian adventure.
The Paine trek was fantastic. After hearing horror stories from other travellers about the gale-force winds & horizontal rain, I couldn’t believe my luck when we had 4 days of blue sky and only a little bit of wind on the last day. Our guide, Jay (Chaid is his real name I think, he’s from Turkey) was brilliant. He couldn’t have done more for us, sorting out a few things in the hotel as well as making sure we didn’t have to worry about anything other than putting one foot in front of the other.
Thanks again for your help with organising it all, I’ve got some great photos to make everyone jealous with.
A beautifully organised and thoroughly enjoyable Paine O Circuit trek, with great weather, an excellent guide, and outstanding local support throughout.
The trip went very well and was handled excellently by your local team, the guide Roberto and the rest of the support team, we had good weather and a very enjoyable trip.
Thank you for all of your assistance with this trip.
A wonderful Chilean adventure with perfect weather in Patagonia, spectacular Atacama night skies, friendly people, and an excellent guide making every moment unforgettable.
I just wanted to report that I had a great time while in Chile (28Nov – 18 Dec). Everyone in there was very friendly (one local gave me a free guided tour after I arrived, and took me to lunch) I was lucky with the weather in Patagonia so I had great views all the way around the circuit and the group I was with (only 3 others and I got a tent to myself) were very friendly and the guide (Eduardo) excellent. The Atacama stars were all I was hoping for. Some excellent shooting starts and clear nights. Good tours of flamingos, geysers and ancient forts there too.
