Trek the Huayhuash with the family who lives here.

I was traveling through South America for 8 months and chose to do a 15 day trek through the Huayhuash with Los Amigos de Huayhuash. The trip was incredible!!

I was traveling through South America for 8 months and chose to do a 15 day trek through the Huayhuash with Los Amigos de Huayhuash. The trip was incredible!! My guide, Adolfo, was very friendly and took me to the most beautiful sites and trekking I have ever done and probably ever will. He was very professional and personal, you can tell he enjoys what he does and loves to share his passion. I showed my photos off to many friends along my journey and the one’s who did the trek with other companies were blown away at some of the “secret places” Adolfo took me. This turned out to be the Highlight of my 8 month trip. Thank You Los Amigos de Huayhuash!!

On September 15, 2026 my husband David and I embarked on the experience of a lifetime.

On September 15, 2026 my husband David and I embarked on the experience of a lifetime. We began our trek around the Huayhuash mountain range in Peru with the trekking company called Los Amigos de Huayhuash. Our guide Wilder, chef Crispin and animal wrangler Abner felt like family after only one day together. Wilder set a pace that we could manage and was patient and encouraging. We celebrated the victory of our achievement at the top of each and every mountain pass. When the team realized I had arrived without rain pants (who knew it would rain so much?!), Abner offered me his rain pants for the duration of the trek. Crispin created three amazing meals for us each day plus one hearty tea and snack. There were also extra snacks for the trail. The meals were thoughtfully planned to give us strength and energy for the day’s tasks. When the day’s trek lasted far past the usual lunch time of 1pm, Crispin would meet us on the trail and like magic would produce a fully prepared delicious meal with hot tea. Wilder was always enjoyable to be around. He never lost his good sense of humour and we were always kept in a good mood with his positive outlook on everything. Also, his knowledge of the mountains and wildlife was unbelievable. He knew the names of every peak, every creature and every plant we encountered. If you want the most amazing experience of your lifetime, I highly recommend you contact Los Amigos de Huayhuash and book your trek through the Andes mountains of Peru. You won’t regret it and the memory of those spectacular mountain peaks will stay with you for a lifetime.

You have probably noticed-pictures posted in the past couple of weeks are all from our recent trekking trip to the 𝗖𝗢𝗥𝗗𝗜𝗟𝗟𝗘𝗥𝗔 𝗛𝗨𝗔𝗬𝗛𝗨𝗔𝗦𝗛 in Peru! One of the most remote, challenging and breathtakingly beautiful treks we have ever done- As always, it was not just the beauty of the glaciers, the awe-inspiring avalanches, lofty mountain peaks, pristine glacial lakes, stunning night skies and inspiring condors that made the trek special- it was the people— The company that organized it- Los Amigos de Huayhuash, Huayhuash-trek.com, expertly and very efficiently managed by Anamin Evila Valdez Rivera, took excellent care to ensure every single detail was covered! Anamin is truly wonderful! She was there to receive us at the airport and she was at our hotel in Huaraz, waiting for us upon our return from the 10-day trek! She also organized three different and amazing acclimatization hikes from Huaraz for us- The experienced and knowledgeable guide-Ronal, our amazing chef-Giovanni who created delicacies in a tent at 16,000 feet, and the mule drivers- Reuben and Rolland who took care of the mule team and helped set up and tear down camp every day, made the trip unforgettable- Very highly recommend Anamin’s company- Los Amigos de Huayhuash!!

Three of us did a 10 day Huayhuash Trek with Amigos de Huayhuash. Since we had never been to Peru and never used this guiding service, we were not sure what to expect.

Three of us did a 10 day Huayhuash Trek with Amigos de Huayhuash. Since we had never been to Peru and never used this guiding service, we were not sure what to expect. The whole experience turned out to be way above our expectations. We met with the owners, the day before to go over all of the logistics. Everything was very clear. They provided all of the food, cook, donkeys, donkey drivers and guide for the trip. We started out and every day, they would break down our tents, cook, breakfast, lunch, and dinner with amazing real food. They then transported all of our gear to the next camp location and set up our tents so when we got there, all we had to do was unpack and take it easy. Obviously the scenery was unlike anything I had ever seen… So beautiful hard to describe. The guide set a perfect pace given the altitude and we always had plenty of time to get where we were going each day. Can’t say enough about the professionalism and hard work of this crew, would highly highly recommend them to anyone considering this trek

We had an incredible 10 day trek in the Huayhuash with a summit of Diablo Mudo at the end of the loop. The team at Amigos de Huayhuash exceeded our expectations across the board. They logistics were spot on – getting from Lima to Huaraz and acclimating pre-trek was easy. The trek itself was amazing – the gear was expedition…

We had an incredible 10 day trek in the Huayhuash with a summit of Diablo Mudo at the end of the loop. The team at Amigos de Huayhuash exceeded our expectations across the board. They logistics were spot on – getting from Lima to Huaraz and acclimating pre-trek was easy. The trek itself was amazing – the gear was expedition grade, the food was better than I eat at home, and the guides and drivers were incredibly professional. We had some adverse weather and other groups struggled but our guides handled it like seasoned professionals. We had an internationally certified guide that made the Diablo Mudo ascent a cake walk for our team. Can't say enough good things about Wilder. Absolute professional. Honestly I had no idea what to expect and the Internet had my guard up about the whole process but the experience with Amigos de Huayhuash was an easy 10/10. It was a bucket list trip and choosing Amigos was easily the best choice i made. I have plans to return and there's no question that I'll bring going back out with Amigos

We had a wonderful experience with Los Amigos De Huayhuash. My son is a great hiker and loves photography, so we arranged a 6 day trek for just the two of us so we can go at our own pace and he could take time to take videos and pictures.

We had a wonderful experience with Los Amigos De Huayhuash. My son is a great hiker and loves photography, so we arranged a 6 day trek for just the two of us so we can go at our own pace and he could take time to take videos and pictures. They arranged a wonderful itinerary. Adolfo was a wonderful guide. We took our time, on purpose, to enjoy the incredible beauty; we noticed the bigger tour groups moved their group along quickly as they could. Adolfo knew the right places to stop, relax and get great pictures. The food was wonderful – thank you Youvani! Fresh items every day including homeade soups, crepes and omlettes in the mornign, wonderful entrees and hearty lunches on the trail. They also helped us with two days of acclimation hikes; where to go and setting up drivers to get us there. It made it convenient. This was a trip we will never forget. I highly recommend this family owned, client focused, and experienced team.

Los Amigos de Huayhuash gave us a perfect experience in our 8-day trek.

Los Amigos de Huayhuash gave us a perfect experience in our 8-day trek. The itinerary was really well curated and flexible, we felt strong and were able to extend some days or go through the less traveled, more spectacular alpine routes. Our guide was Wilder and he was both very knowledgeable about the range and clearly an experienced mountaineer that kept safety in mind. The food by cook Elias was amazing, mostly consisting of local dishes and always prepped from scratch with fresh ingredients. It felt amazing to be able to eat such good food after a long day of hiking. Totally recommend their services if you're planning to trek Huayhuash!

The best trekking circuit in the country to get to know and challenge oneself physically and mentally.

I trekked with Los Amigos de Huayhuash from July 5 to July 13 with my daughter. The trek was very well run and the scenery was spectacular.

I trekked with Los Amigos de Huayhuash from July 5 to July 13 with my daughter. The trek was very well run and the scenery was spectacular. Our group had six trekkers and we were supported by two guides, 12 mules and an emergency horse, and cooks and mule handlers. The lead guide paced the group and the other guide made sure no one was left behind. The lead guide Adolfo was very attentive to our needs and he closely monitored us for issues with the elevation. We got three hot meals a day and the food was excellent. I was told by other trekkers the service was outstanding compared to treks in Nepal and Kilimanjaro. All staff members were friendly and attentive as well. Hot coffee delivered to our tents upon waking up was a very nice touch. Laughing and sharing stories at the end of the day over long dinners with the other trekkers with no Internet distraction, was a delight. The trek requires training and is very challenging, but the reward is very high.

Our trek with the Amigos de Huayhuash was one of the best travel experiences of my life. It started with a warm welcome from Anamin, who coordinated our trek, lodging, and transportation.

Our trek with the Amigos de Huayhuash was one of the best travel experiences of my life. It started with a warm welcome from Anamin, who coordinated our trek, lodging, and transportation. Her kindness and professionalism were clear from the moment we arrived and only became more apparent with each day. She treated us like members of her own family. Clear expectations were set and met at every turn. After a few days acclimating in Huaraz we met our guide, Rafael, our chef, Crispin, and our arriero, Abner. These men demonstrated professionalism, knowledge, and mastery of their work. At our morning and evening meals together (we were often on the trail for lunch) we would practice Spanish, share stories, and laugh so much. We learned from all three about life in Peru and the Huayhuash, particularly from Rafael, who has guided in the area for many years. We never had to worry about our bags or where the next camp would be. Abner made sure everything arrived safely and was ready for us as soon as we got to camp. All of the gear was high quality and in good shape. The food was delicious and there was a lot of it. We were hardly ever hungry, because we ate so often, but we were always looking forward to Crispin's next creation. The terrain and surroundings were some of the most beautiful I've ever seen. The only surprises we encountered were pleasant ones: a trailside picnic halfway through our hike, a hidden treat after dinner, a sunset walk to a good viewpoint. This was an expensive tour compared to some of the other options. I think in this case you get what you pay for. Of course we didn't experience exactly what the other groups did. I suspect that the gear might not be top-notch like Amigos' is. The pack animals might be overloaded and tired (the Amigos rotate their animals so that this doesn't happen). The guides might move you along too quickly without knowledge of the area, or worse, might not be certified guides at all. The food might be more utilitarian, and you might not eat with the staff or get an opportunity to know them. Everything that Amigos de Huayhuash did so well elevated this already spectacular trek to a rich cultural experience that I will remember forever. I cannot recommend them highly enough!
