Yes! We totally loved our hiking experience with Adventure in Peru/ Andean Soul Yes!!! We totally loved our experience with Adventure in Peru/ Andean Soul.We did the Salkantay Trek, Machu Picchu Tour, Rainbow Mountain and the Red Valley with them. Fran the very beginnung we‘ve had a good communication with Juan-Carlos, the owner. He is a very honest and well experienced guy, used to be a guide himself and knows the areas and tours very good. During the trek, our guide Victor shared a lot of peruvian and inka history knowledge, as well as a lot of info about the local flowers and plants and their medicinal usage. He also chose the best camping spots, so that eventhough Salkantay is a crowded trek, we were always away from the crowds. The same for Rainbow Mountain and Macchu Picchu 😀 (very important!)Ferdinand and his helpers (John and the mulleteer Victor) took mega good care of us by preparing delicious vegetarian dishes upon our request. We even had cakes prepared on top of the mountain (such a nice surprise!)The Pachamanca experience and the Vertikal Zipline, a spontaneuous unplanned change in our vacation totally made our day, we loved it!So all in all, we took the best decision by organizing our hikes with Adventure in Peru/ Andean Soul.

Best experience with Adventure in Perú All I can say is: f…. amazing. All the guys from the Team were amazing. The guide, Victor, has a lot of knowledge about the history, nature…ask him anything and you’ll get smarter:). Ferdinan is a very pasionate Chef, he loves to cook and we ate like Queens:). John, helped the Chef and us with everything. Victor, the muleteer helps with the luggage and he did an amazing job. Thank you for the trip. We really recommend Adventure in Peru because they have knowledge, very good communication and helped us to plan the trip to Salkantay, Machu Picchu and Rainbow Mountain. All the time we were in front of the crowd, because, believe me, there are some at Machu Picchu and Rainbow Mountain.

Must do tours in addition to Machu Picchu. Did Rainbow Mountain and Humantay Lake tours. Both were great. Roger Mamani, our guide did an excellent job of having us get the best and most full experience possible. Started early, beat the crowds, even took the back trail and saw Condors. Also gave us advice that proved to be spot on. Highly recommend.

The other rainbow mountain tour and Inca rope bridge, Queswachaca, from Cusco I wanted to do the Palccoyo rainbow mountain tour and also walk across the Queswachaca Inca rope bridge.Andean Soul adventures seemed to be the only tour company offering this. I contacted them months before our trip and Juan Carlos sorted everything thing for our tour. We used WhatsApp together and seemed to be available anytime of the day. (Me being in Australia and Juan in Peru).We did our tour the 27th September 2023. Everything ran very smoothly indeed. Our guide was Flor, she spoke very good English and catered for our needs excellently. We teased/joked with each other throughout the day. I would definitely recommend this tour company whilst in Cusco for your tours. 5 stars from me.

Best tours for Cusco area The whole experience was amazing. Juan is an amazing tour guide, very knowledgeable, friendly and accommodating to all needs. Alberto cooked us incredible food which had us full all day - with local dishes which Juan told us about.I'd highly recommend Andean Soul Adventures to anyone. The whole team gives a great overview of what you'll visiting. And gives you time to explore at your pleasure.

Best tour experience in Peru! Our family of 6 went on the Palccoyo and Q'ueswachaca bridge tour with Andean Soul Adventure and had an incredible time! The food was amazing and the tour guides really went above and beyond to make sure we had everything that we needed. I cannot recommend this tour enough as the mountain is incredible and so is the service and care of the company. If you're looking to go to rainbow mountain, Palccoyo with Andean Soul is the way to go!!

One of my favorite adventures yet! To start off, I had accidentally scheduled a tour for the month prior to the date I was actually going. Not realizing this until the night before I thought I was supposed to have the tour, I called and found out I booked the wrong date. Juan was absolutely amazing with helping me sort that mistake out and we rescheduled. Come the day of the tour, he was right on time when picking us up,and the rest of our day greatly exceeded my expectations. It says they provide breakfast and lunch, so I figured we'd be getting bagged lunches and eat on the way to each stop. To my surprise we stopped in a beautiful location overlooking the mountains, and the personal chef started setting up a tent and cooking extensive meals. The food was so delicious, even better than restaurant quality, and they were very accommodating to our vegetarian needs. The tour itself was amazing from the natural wonders of Peru, but even better with the guide. He spoke great English and is more than happy to answer any questions. He's very personable as well as approachable, and my group and I learned so much about the cultures, land, and cuisine. I personally don't take time to write reviews, however, Andean Soul Adventures is a highly respectable and well-deserved organization that was one of the highlights to my experience. Totally worth every penny!

Amazing! Juan Carlos is an amazing guide. He speaks very good English, is very knowledgeable, is friendly, and is punctual. Sometimes in Cusco you take a tour where the guide just doesn’t seem to care about you- this is not the case at all with Juan Carlos. I highly recommend Andean Soul Adventure.

Absolutely Breathtaking! :) First of all THANK YOU for this amazing experience! :) The organisation was just awesome and our tourguide is so seasoned :) he knows everything and his english is high-class.Would you like to have a short insight? Okey here it is:One day before the tour started, the tourguide visited us in our apartment and gave us a briefing and all our questions were answered. Then we got a „duffle-bag“ where we could put our clothes & things in it. He explained the tour and and which sealevel we would be. It is important to carry warm stuffs with you!1. dayThe tour began an 5 oclock in the morning where we drove to the startpoint. We met our whole crew (1 chef, 2 assistents, tourguide, 5 horses)After the amazing selfmade breakfast in a tent, we started our hiking to the humantay lake. Then we went further to soraypampa (4200m) where we slept in brand new „northface-tents“. They were so isolated and the rented sleepingbags kept us warm during the night. (You can rent sleepingbags directly at the agency for 20$)Furthermore, the crew built up a eco-toilet and of course they cooked delicious selfmade dinner!2. dayThey woke us up with fresh made coca-tea at 5 oclock and after breakfast we hiked to the salkantaypass (4620m). You have to concentrate on your breath but it was so amazing at the top! 3. dayThis time we woke up am 4:30 with fresh brewed coca-tea and hiked 4 hours to our lunchplace. We reached during this walk the rainforest and the nature is incredible! Of course it is getting hotter but with this amazing views it is all worth it! Around 1:30 we reached our camp and at the afternoon we went to the hotsprings where we could relax and took a shower. When we came back to the camp, our dinner was already ready ;)4. dayAt day 4 we hiked to Llactapats where we could have a peek to the machupicchu! Of couse it was far away but the view is amazing! :) We went further and at 4 oclock we reached the machupicchu town (aguas calientes). This city is touristic but really beautiful. We spent the evening with our superfunny tourguide and went to bed early5. dayWe woke up at 4 oclock because we had the queue for the busline. And then we finally saw the famous machupicchu!!! :)Great experience, great people, great equipment :) Was every penny worth it! :)
