Alan and Clare have just returned from their lodge-to-lodge trekking adventure in Ecuador. They shared this lovely feedback along with some amazing photos.

“We had a great time. I saw the magnificent Condor which I hoped for as a keen birder (among 50 other never before seen birds).”

“The food and accommodation were really excellent, probably even better than expected.”

“Guide (Pablo) absolutely exceptional- incredible knowledge."

"The highlight was probably going to high camp (5300) on Chimborazo.”

Why did you choose Andean Trails? “We wanted to go to the Andes and when we searched options, we thought Andean Trails had the best options and seemed to specialise in the Andes.”

Thanks for choosing us to plan your trip, Alan and Clare. We’re really glad you had such a great time!

Bill and Natalie aren’t long back from an unforgettable adventure in Peru! They explored the Sacred Valley, hiked the legendary Inca Trail, and made it all the way to iconic Machu Picchu.

They told us “the food was awesome at our Cusco hotel and on the Inca trail”.

“There were so many highlights: the way our guide explained about all the birds and plants (especially all the different orchids), in addition to his amazing knowledge on all the ancient historical sites. It made the trail more like an adventure, instead of a hike.”

“All of the people at the hotel in Cusco were very helpful, especially Kevin, who brought oxygen to my room Saturday morning when I was still having issues adjusting to the high altitude in Cusco. The other tour guides, Eddie on the walking tour of Cusco, and Mateo, who did the Sacred Valley tour were also good.”

Why Andean Trails? “Andean Trails was recommended by Responsible Travel, my first contact for this adventure.”
