Exceptional tour with Andean Raju and Javier We booked our 8 day Huayhuash circuit a year in advance. Straight from the beginning Pablo was very responsive with information about our tour. The 3 of us were a little bit nervous when arriving in Huaraz as our anticipation was very high for very long. We have met for a pretour briefing a day before where we have met Javier, our guide for the next 8 days as well as the rest of our group. Over the next week we have created friendships and shared indelible memories that will last us a lifetime. Javi is a remarkable guide as well as a humble and friendly person who made us feel safe and welcome from start to finish. The rest of the team (cooks, donkey drivers, assistant guide) went above and beyond for us with impeccable service. Their work is truly tireless and deserve all our respect. I strongly recommend choosing Andean Raju for your next andean adventure. They will not disappoint!

Huayhuash Trek 8 Days We had a special experience doing the Huayhuash Trek 8 days with Andean Raju Expeditions. We booked this trek one year in advance and Pablo was super helpful from the beginning. The trek is not easy at all, but we had all the help to succeed. JAVIER was the most prepared and helpful guide I have ever hiked with. If you have him on your hike, you are extremely lucky. He was always there if we needed something. I want to thank all the team members that were with us (Javier our guide, the guide's assisstant, the chef, the chef's assisstant, and the 4 donkey drivers). They all worked so much for us to have a great experience. An advice to anyone who is planning to make this hike, bring cash, because you will be impressed by the amount of work everyone does, and you will regret not having cash to tip the team properly. Each morning started at 5:30 with tea brought to your tent. Then until 6:00 all the bags for the donkeys were supposed to be ready. Then we had breakfast and started the hike. You go at your own healthy pace, but you should be fit for this type of altitude hiking. I like that we had a very helpful horse that would carry a person if they were not feeling well. There is also an army of donkeys carrying all the supplies and also being so cute! What was difficult for me was the last day and that one the way down we didn't take even a break. For about 1000m of elevation loss and a little ovef 2 hours. As an advice, 2 breaks of 5 min each would be really helpful for the legs :) As we leave, we keep the good memories, the friendships we made and the respect and total apreciation for all the hardwork we saw from our team. Muchas gracias!

Trekking ou mountaineering région de Huaraz - experience au Vallunaraju Expérience ultra positive avec Andean Raju! Un immense merci d’ailleurs à Pablo et à toute l'équipe. Si vous cherchez une agence de confiance, ultra-réactive et humaine à Huaraz, je les recommande à 200 %! Dès le départ, la communication en amont avec l'agence a été rapide, claire, efficace et transparente (et en anglais, mon espagnol étant assez rudimentaire). Pablo a été de bon conseil dans notre planification et préparation. Notre ascension du Vallunaraju a été parfaite du début à la fin, malgré une logistique compliquée de notre côté et quelques enjeux de santé pour mon fils. J'avais d'avance fait une erreur de date lors de la réservation (les bonnes dates, mais pour août au lieu de juillet), puis mon fils est tombé malade juste avant le départ (tourista). À deux reprises et à quelques jours d'avis seulement, Pablo a tout réorganisé avec une gentillesse et une flexibilité rares, sans aucune obligation, et malgré une période vraiment occupée pour lui. N'ayant pas trouvé de guide disponible à la dernière minute, il s'est en plus proposé pour nous guider lui-même. Sur le glacier, Pablo a été un guide exceptionnel : attentif et très professionnel, en plus d’être super sympathique. Tout au long, je nous sentais pleinement en sécurité grâce à son savoir faire, surtout pour cette première expérience pour mon fils de 13 ans. Le reste de l'équipe a été tout aussi formidable. La nourriture durant l’expé était super bonne, avec de bons lunchs. Bref, que du positif sur toute la ligne ! Très contente aussi du choix de faire le Vallunaraju également, comme on voulait une option sur 2 jours qui incluait une nuit en tente, mais qui demeurait facile d’accès (non technique). Le Nevado Mateo était la première option qu’on regardait et je crois que de le prévoir avant le Vallunaraju aurait aussi été bien, pour l’acclimatation et la préparation au Vallu, qui est somme toute un peu plus exigeant selon moi. Petit partage : ne pas négliger le temps requis pour s’acclimater avant une ascension ou un trek qui parcours les hautes altitudes. Prévoir assez de jours et si possible un peu de lousse pour les imprévus (transport ou santé). Et faire vraiment attention côté nourriture et eau quand on a une expé comme ça de prévu, car tomber malade juste avant ou pendant c’est loin d’être idéal.

Trip of a Lifetime An absolutely fabulous trip in the Huayhuash on the 10 day circuit. The crew all worked well together - such a great team of hard working pleasant people. They always helped each other out to ensure everything was completed. So much work goes into daily moving camp, cooking, and cleaning all the dishes. Our every need was met and beyond. Their exceptional work ethic did not go unnoticed A shoutout to our cook Juan for the delicious breakfast, dinners and packed lunches. How he was able to cook restaurant quality meals is beyond me. This was a strenuous hike and we appreciated the amount of protein, fruits and vegetables and carbs and snacks provided. Beyond that, we adore Juan always having a smile on his face and communicating with us despite our poor Spanish (for which I apologize). Adam our donkey driver was kind to his donkeys at all times. It was obvious they are well cared for on and off the trail. We love donkeys and have so much gratitude for his gentle way. Adam is also such a hard worker and we appreciate all he did to make this trip work seamlessly. Our guide Marco was always pleasant, had a good attitude and ensured we had the best time...and we did. Thank you to Pablo for setting up this trip of a lifetime. From the time we were picked up at our hotel to the time we were redelivered everything was perfect - including the authentic lunch provided at the restaurant in the village at the end of the trip. We had intended to climb Diablo Mundo on day 8 - however we were pretty tired by that point and opted to bypass this peak. If I had to do it again, we would have chose to stay in Huaraz an extra 2 days and climbed a local and less remote peak. I wish I'd have researched more to know this was an option.

Ascension du Nevado Mateo J'ai eu la chance de faire cette aventure avec 2 amis vers la fin juin 2026. Toute la communication avant le jour J a été excellente. Pablo répond par WhatsApp assez rapidement, ce qui nous a permis de poser nos questions et de convenir d'un moment pour essayer les bottes (fournies dans le prix de l'activité) très facilement. Le jour de l'activité, Pablo et son collègue sont venus nous chercher à notre hôtel autour de 2h45 AM. Ils étaient à l'heure, tout était parfait de ce côté. La voiture était confortable, ce qui a rendu la route assez agréable. Le fait que tout le matériel technique soit fourni est un énorme avantage. De plus, Pablo et son collègue sont sympathiques et nous avons passé un bon moment avec eux. Le conseil que j'aurais à donner est de ne pas sous-estimer cette activité. Les 500 mètres de dénivelé positif peuvent sembler un peu faciles à première vue, mais l'altitude rend la respiration plus difficile et le mal de tête peut arriver rapidement. Je suggère fortement de rester quelques jours à Huaraz pour s'acclimater avant de vivre cette expérience. De notre côté, nous avons passé 8 jours complets à Huaraz et fait 4 randonnées d'acclimatation allant de 3500 à 4600 mètres avant de nous lancer dans l'ascension du Mateo. Cette expérience a définitivement été l'un des moments les plus mémorables de mon voyage. J'ai tellement aimé que je prévois revenir en Amérique du Sud pour faire un 6000 mètres dans les prochaines années. Si je reviens gravir des montagnes proches de Huaraz, je vais certainement encore faire appel aux services de Pablo.

LOVED We had the best time ever!!!! Our guides Marco and Pascal and our chef Juan were so much fun to hang out with. The views were breathtaking, the most beautiful places I have ever seen. Our campsites were all great and had toilets with running water!! The gear that was provided was high quality and kept us warm through the cold nights and weather. I couldn’t have asked for a better trip and would do it again and again 🙏 Thank you!

Take me back to Huayhuash! My experience with Pablo and his team was top-notch! Pablo was so helpful and communicative, our guides were great, and our chef/food was exceptional. The Huayhuash is jaw-dropping gorgeous, but also difficult at times with terrain and altitude. I felt well prepared and safe in the hands of Andean Raju and would highly recommend them to anyone planning a trek or mountaineering experience. Thank you Pablo & Team!

Perfectly organized, safe, and professional mountaineering experience I had a perfect experience from beginning to end. Everything was very well planned, clear, punctual, and professional. I rented gear for the trip and everything was in excellent condition. The food was very good, the service was great, and the whole experience felt safe and very well organized. What I appreciated most was how much effort they made to understand my level, my preferences, and what I wanted from the trip. I was traveling solo, and it made a big difference to be with someone professional, experienced, and thoughtful, who really took the time to adapt the experience to my situation. I have done similar mountaineering and hiking expeditions in other countries, and this was honestly as good as it gets. I would definitely travel with them again if I return to the Cordillera Blanca.

They R the best !! We did a 10-day trek with the company. Even when we booked and contacted them six months before the trek, we always received a detailed and friendly response. We also felt during the trek that we were in good hands, there was always professional care and response to everything we asked and every problem we had. The entire team during the trek was friendly and especially noteworthy was the guide Javier with his professional and pleasant approach, while showing patience and understanding for all our needs. We highly recommend going on a trek with this company. They were amazing

Inolvidable Huascaran Inolvidables los dos días que pasamos en el Parque Nacional de Huascaran, con Pablo, que es un excelente profesional y entendió perfectamente nuestras necesidades para ver la Puya raimondii y los dos nevados Huascaran, entre otros.
