An unforgettable experience
We have just finished the most incredible four days walking the Inca Trail with Andean Path. It had been top of my bucket list for years and the team made it happen, exceeding my expectations in the process. Our porters were superheroes, so helpful and kind, and the chef cooked the most delicious Peruvian food. Ronald guided us expertly, keeping us safe and sharing his knowledge of the trail, the local flora and fauna and Incan history. He was also excellent company with a great sense of humour. The fact that Andean Path Travel are smaller than some of the operators is a real plus as we felt the experience was tailored to our needs. We would recommend them to anyone.

Amazing Experience! 5 day Inca Trail with Andean Path
We are a family of four (kids age 10 and 12). I was a little bit nervous bringing the kids on the Inca Trail, but it was something we really wanted to do. I looked at a lot of different tour companies to find the trip that was right for us. As soon as I reached out to Andean Path I knew it was the right fit. Alicja was extremely responsive to my questions and found the trip that would work for us. We did the 5 day private tour. Andean Path is also 100% Peruvian, and that was important to us. Having a private tour meant that we could set the pace that was right for us.
Our guide, Ronald, was excellent. He set our daily schedule to suit our speed. He was very knowledgeable about the history of the Inca and all the sites we visited along the way. Our chef and porters were amazing. They worked so hard to set up camp and feed us every day. The food was excellent, plentiful, and had a lot of variety.
The trip was also very well organized. Gear was high quality and in good condition. Transports were always on time. Andean Path took care of everything.
I would strongly recommend Andean Path to anyone who is looking to do a trip in the Cusco area.

My daughter and I just completed the classic 4 day hike to Machu Picchu along with a 1 day tour to Rainbow Mountain with Andean Path and we cannot thank Ronald / David enough for their assistance in making this trip truly an adventure of a lifetime. The service we received on our hike by our porters, chef and guide was exemplary, and I would highly recommend Andean Path for your adventure in this beautiful land.

Trip of a lifetime, exceptionally caring and knowledgeable local company
Curated a private trip with Alicja and David to complete the Salkantay in 3 days, Machu Picchu, Sacred Valley, and Ausangate to rainbow mountain. I cannot explain how incredible an experience this was. From the trip detailing and booking process to the execution with our guide Ronald, horseman Victor, Chef Nazario, and drivers Junior and Juan everyone was knowledgeable and kind. Each day was meticulously planned and executed far beyond our expectations. So many extra safety measures and extra effort went into ensuring our trip was phenomenal. We loved getting to talk with the group about Peru, the Andes, and Amazon. We were so cared for and had such fun with everyone. This was the trip of a lifetime with so much care and joy embude within each component. To tour Peru with an Andean group, eating the best Peruvian food in the Andes and Amazon above 13000 feet with master chef Nazario, learn Incan history, and explore all the nature was a privilege. If you can book with this company, do.

Best journey in my life 4 days Inca Trail
It was amazing, beautiful, professional, best guide ever Ron, brilliant history lesson, so much knowledge. Views are beautiful doesn't matter what weather. The whole team was amazing, food surprised us so much, we did not expect to eat like that, but Nasario our chef was the best. Whole 4 days on inca Trail was super amazing journey. You made my dreams come true. Thank you

Once in a lifetime epic adventure!
David and Rom and the entire team provided an excellent experience for all 10 of our diverse group (that ranged in age from 18 to 68). We had a wonderful tour of the scared valley before beginning our 4 day hike on the Inca Trail. The trail has some of the most breathtaking views you will ever see on this once in a lifetime epic adventure.
David & Rom were attentive and encouraging as we made our way through the 4 days and 3 nights on the trail. Every detail was carefully thought through and planned by David and his team. When we had notice that our flight home was canceled & we needed to rearrange our last day David made everything work seamlessly. I could not have asked for a better group & would highly recommend ANDENA PATH TRAVEL as the best possible option to guide you through this amazing experience!

5 star A++++ tour
David and Rom were amazing tour guides. Our group did the 4 day inca trail to MACHU PICCHU. Their level of 5 star accommodations on a side of a mountain were fantastic. They plan your trip down to every little detail. Their porters woke us up with a cup of hot tea which is just what I needed. The tents were set up every night when we got to the campsite. This was great so you could rest before tea time. The food. Holy cow the food was delicious. They make everything on site on the trail. The porters were beasts. Carrying up to 13 lbs of my stuff abs also everything else they had to carry. They were always making sure we had water or when we asked for something, they were quick to help. it was a tough hike but David and his crew did an amazing job with encouraging and stopping to talk about Inca history, plants on the trail, or Inca traditions. My group asked a lot of questions and they answered them with patience and lots of knowledge. I would recommend them to anyone and everyone going to Peru and wanting to hike the Inca trail. Budget list check!

Such an amazing and authentic experience!!!!
We did the 4 day classic Inca Trail Trek and our tour guide Ron was great! The best thing was the food (and also the views)- hadn’t eaten so well in all of the 6 months of our South American travels! Company were really accommodating to my vegan gluten intolerant cousin too.
