Treks & hikes in the Peruvian Andes
Trekking & hiking in the Cordillera Blanca and Cordillera Huayhuash
Walk the Peruvian Andes alongside our local guides and trek crew, on routes that thread between snow peaks and glacial lakes. The treks and hikes on this site are some of our most popular from short day walks to long, remote crossings and every one comes with the same personalised service. Our crews love sharing the magic of their mountains, and they will treat you as their guest and friend, not a booking.

Cooks, guides and donkey driver
A trek crew is bigger than most people expect: a cook, arrieros (donkey drivers) managing the donkeys, and a guide who knows the passes and reads the weather. Groups stay small, usually 6 to 8 people, so the crew can actually look after everyone.
Pack light, walk light
Donkeys carry the tents, kitchen equipment and your duffel bag, so you only walk with a daypack holding water, a camera, a warm layer and a snack. Duffel bags are limited to 12–15 kg, so pack for the trail, not for a suitcase.
Cordillera Blanca vs Cordillera Huayhuash
People often ask which range is better for trekking. Both are spectacular, both are different, and honestly you cannot compare them. Each has snow-capped mountains and glaciers you walk right up to, and on most days you climb to a high pass with views that stop you in your tracks. Which one suits you is a question we are glad to talk through.
Cordillera Blanca
Steep-sided, narrow valleys cut deep into the range.
A microclimate in every valley, with more plants, flowers and trees than the Huayhuash.
Pockets of high-altitude Polylepis (Queñua) forest among open grassland.
More villages and small farms along the edge of the Huascarán National Park.
Home to Huascarán (6768m), Peru's highest peak, and Alpamayo, often called the world's most beautiful mountain.
Cordillera Huayhuash
Open and vast, with wide valleys and sweeping grasslands.
Plenty of big lakes, many full of trout, with the snow peaks mirrored in the water.
Most campsites sit right beside a glacial lake.
Few people live around the circuit — a handful of farms, and the village of Llamac where our donkey drivers live.
Home to Yerupajá (6634m), Peru's second-highest peak, and Siula (6344m) of Touching the Void.
