Andes Mountains Tours & Trips
Quito's historic center sits at 2,850 meters, and the views? Otherworldly. Ecuador straddles the middle of the world, and the Quitsato Sundial marks the equator precisely. Visit the Highlands and rainforests to see dramatic transitions, while the Andes divide the country into Pacific coast, mountains, and Amazon basin. Ecuador packs ecosystem diversity into compact geography. Come see for yourself.

I had a great experience with Waman Adventures! The tour was very well organised, and I was always in contact with Janet, who provided clear instructions every day. I unfortunately sprained my ankle during the trip (my own clumsiness!), but the team was so kind and arranged alternative plans for me. A special shoutout to Julio Cesar, our guide for Machu Picchu — he was knowledgeable, friendly, and gave us an excellent overview of the history. Highly recommend Waman Adventures for anyone visiting Peru!

The tour was great, and the guide was friendly and courteous. Overall, I enjoyed it very much. One point is that it would be nice to have English speaking guide so that it does not give the impression of missing some information while two-third of what the guide was explaining in Spanish was not missing anything in English part.

Best tour companies for Andes Mountains tours
Based on what our travelers tell us, these three Peru tour companies really deliver quality experiences, each with their own special touches. Kantu Peru Tours gets lots of praise for running smooth trips - their guides David and Fredy consistently get mentioned by name for really knowing their stuff and making everyone feel welcome. Trexperience has built quite a following for their Inca Trail trips. Their guides Robinson and Maribel are super experienced with the route, and they bring along talented chefs who somehow manage to cook amazing meals right there on the trail. What's particularly nice is how they handle any issues that pop up - which can happen when you're out in the mountains for several days. Waman Adventures offers solid value for what you pay. Their guide Percy Huaman keeps getting great feedback from clients, and they're really good about staying in touch and keeping everything straightforward. No confusing details or surprise changes - just clear communication and reliable service all the way through.
Popular Andes Mountains Cruise Ships
Best places to start your Andes Mountains tour
Most of our travelers start their trip from Lima - about 40% choose this route, while a good third fly straight to Cusco to get used to the altitude before hitting the trails. Some interesting alternatives include Puerto Natales, Quito and also La Paz, each with their own special route to the mountains. Getting the timing right is pretty straightforward - book around 120 days ahead and you'll have no trouble getting permits for popular trails like the Inca Trail, plus you'll get the dates you want, especially if you're thinking about the busy months of June through August. The weather's most reliable from May to October, though quite a few of our experienced hikers prefer April-May or September-October when there are fewer people on the trails and the mountain flowers are in full bloom. Whatever time you pick, spend at least two days in Cusco getting used to the altitude - it's actually a great chance to explore local markets and try authentic Andean food while your body adjusts to the elevation.

Best time to visit Andes Mountains
- Winter 2025 / 2026
Winter in the Andes brings unique opportunities for exploring Patagonia's dramatic landscapes. Our travelers particularly enjoy the W Trek in Torres del Paine during this season, noting fewer crowds and clearer skies. The winter routes through Argentina and Chile combine glacier visits with cultural experiences - you'll walk on Perito Moreno's ice fields, spot condors in Torres del Paine and explore traditional estancias. Several tours include fascinating stops at the thousand-year-old Milodón cave and also guided walks through the Patagonian Andean forest. Multi-day treks feature comfortable camping or lodge stays, with expert guides who really know how to handle winter conditions and help visitors spot local wildlife like guanacos, foxes and also rheas.

- Spring 2026
Spring is when the mountain flowers start blooming in the Andes, making it perfect for combining archaeology with nature walks. The classic Inca Trail sees stable weather this time of year, and our travelers tell us it's their favorite season for hiking these ancient paths. You'll spend time in the Sacred Valley visiting local weaving cooperatives, exploring Moray's circular terraces and connecting with local communities. The Salkantay Trek offers a more challenging option with varied landscapes, expert guides and surprisingly tasty meals at camp. Many routes include time at Machu Picchu, Cusco's historic center, the Leymebamba Museum with its collection of 200 mummies and also walks in cloud forests full of unique birds.

- Summer 2026
Summer in the Andes mixes city culture with wilderness exploration. You can start in Buenos Aires learning tango moves before heading to Patagonia's untamed landscapes. El Calafate's glacier region is particularly special - you'll take boats right up to towering ice walls and hike through forests that few visitors get to see. The Machu Picchu treks come with porters who somehow serve up amazing meals at 4,000-meter camps. Our travelers love taking the cable car to the ancient Kuélap fortress, then hiking to spot toucans and monkeys near the 770-meter Gocta waterfall and also exploring remote mountain villages.

Autumn brings excellent conditions for Inca Trail treks, with our travelers particularly appreciating the smaller crowds and comfortable hiking temperatures.

The routes include early morning starts to catch sunrise at key points, experienced guides sharing deep cultural knowledge and excellent camp cooks preparing fresh meals at high altitudes. Some tours extend into the Chachapoyas region, where you'll explore ancient citadels, visit mummy museums and also hike through varied landscapes from deep canyons to cloud forests.
