Ecuador Andean Highlands Tours & Trips
The Andean highlands deserve far more exploration beyond just Machu Picchu. The region covers Peru, Bolivia, and Ecuador's mountain areas, so you’re experiencing Cusco and Sacred Valley, Lake Titicaca, and La Paz's chaotic energy. Explore Quechua and Aymara cultures that have maintained traditions, and markets selling alpaca goods and produce. This is where Inca and pre-Inca civilizations thrived, and the history's everywhere.

This was a great trip with Jorge as our guide. The places we stayed at were quite nice and unique. The food was delicious. The hikes and the views were amazing although sometimes a challenge ( for me) . I would definitely book with Adventure Journeys again.
