Your Local Expert for Trekking and Expeditions in the Cordillera Blanca and Cordillera Huayhuash in Peru.
All our tours are for adventurous people who like to be out in the mountains. We are looking for the simple life without luxury. We enjoy the closeness to nature and face the sporting challenges. But we also take our time to enjoy, time to switch off, time to discover something new. We pitch our tents in the open air and see the starry sky like never before. The nights are long and cold, the sunrises even more beautiful.
As travelers ourselves, we want to challenge and inspire you while you bond with other like-minded travellers who also share a love for exploring new places and cultures. Our adventures are focussing on getting you outside of your comfort zone, allowing you to try something new and push your own personal limits. Each adventure has been graded to help you select a tour that is a good match with your fitness level.
Our main office is based in Huaraz, the mountain capital of Peru. We realize a social and environmentally friendly tourism, with intensive contacts to the local population and authentic encounters. We prefer good local food and hospitality. We care about the well-being of the local people and their communities in the regions we visit and reward employees with fair wages.
Behind every great journey, there is a long story.
There are two faces behind AndinoTrek: Franck, a world traveler with a passion for trekking, climbing and adventure sports, who worked as a mountain guide and tour operator for national and international agencies for many years and later opened his own adventure travel agency hostel in Huaraz, Peru. Cecilia, with Argentine roots, raised in Switzerland, who studied business administration and after several years of work experience began a long journey all over South America and finally fell in love with the Andes and decided to stay.
Together, and with many years of experience, contacts and local knowledge, they founded AndinoTrek in 2015.
