Special Feature Treks

We love having families with children or teenagers come to Huaraz, and our guides and staff are family people themselves who take real pleasure in being on the mountain with kids. We will suggest the right trek or day hike for yours, weighing their ages, fitness and what they would enjoy, and we keep a slow, steady pace that works for everyone.

Porters can carry the children's day packs, and if little legs get tired we organise a pony to ride for a stretch. Before and after the trek you stay at Morales Guesthouse, three minutes' walk from our office, with rooms and attention set up for families.

Whether you are a woman travelling solo, two friends, or a group of friends, we have wonderful lady guides, cooks and support staff who can come along if you would like the company of women on the trail. They will make sure you have a great time and feel well looked after and safe the whole way.

You decide who joins you. Many women tell us it is the small things that matter most on a first solo trek: a guide who knows the passes, a cook who feeds you properly, and a team you can relax with from the bus station onward.

We organise treks and climbs for hikers over 50, whether you come alone, as a couple or in a larger group. Age is no barrier here; you only need to love the mountains and bring a sense of adventure. We will tailor-make a trek or climb to suit your fitness, and experienced guides will make sure you enjoy our peaks, lakes, culture and history at your own pace.

The pace is unhurried by design. We build in proper acclimatisation, advise when to take a horse for a steep stretch, and coach the breathing that helps at altitude, so you leave Peru with wonderful memories of the country and the people who guided you.
