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 thoroughly enjoyed the trekking with Celio as the guide. He showed great compassion to us and our fellow trekkers. He arranged the tour in an orderly manner. He introduced us to the highland communities, the Inca history, and what Alpaca Expedition has done for the highland people. He gave us free time to do our mini explorations. I would highly recommend Celio as a guide in a trekking tour.

Classic Inca Trail to Machu Picchu 4 Days with Vistadome Train - H
Hong • traveled in December, 2025
The tour is amazing! I absolutely loved it! All three days are well designed and packed. For the first sacred valley day, I liked the salt mine and ollantaytambo incan site the most. The two day inca trail is fantastic. The first day"s hike, about six hours, is tough but totally worth it. The second day is Machu Picchu, and I added the WaynaPicchu hike, which to me personality the best part of the trip. It took us two and half hours up and down. the stairs and trail.up are very challenging, but totally doable. You just need to take your time and take breaks. But both the journey and the views on top are just spectacular. All of my guides are great. René for the first day is very knowledgeable. So are Gary and a William for the second day. And they are fun! The only thing I would say is that the.guides may touch base late the night before. If you are anxious, reach out to the head office and they will tell you the names and WhatsApp numbers of the guides and you can touch base directly yourself. That's what I did. All in all. Amazing experience.

Best time to visit Andes Mountains
- 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.

Many tours combine the classic 4-day trail with time exploring Cusco's archaeological sites and local markets. 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.

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 2027
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.
