I just completed the Ayahuasca retreat, and I can't even begin to express what a life-changing experience it has been. Everyone will have a different experience, and much of mine will remain personal, but I'd like to briefly summarize the Ayahuasca ceremonies, as I believe everyone should experience this once in their life.
I surrendered to the medicine, and it completely healed the problems I was having. I trembled and cried for hours until the tears dried, due to the unconditional love flowing through me. I created a direct connection with God and left feeling as if I had encountered a life-changing experience.
I probably had over 100 different beings, such as fire-breathing dragons, harsh demigod rulers like the Anunnaki, creatures from Greek mythology, angels of mercy, and so on.
They showed me that the universe is created through song and dance, and I'm not kidding, I created it... I had so much fun lifting mountains, sucking in entire planets and exhaling them into entire galaxies. I learned to open portals with a swinging rope, traversing the multiverse, I was singing. Now I begin my life with wisdom, courage, and a clear path forward.
Ayahuasca may not be for everyone, but if you feel a calling, try Andean Great Treks and you'll have the experience of a lifetime.
Emile Bravos A Huge Change in My Life Began Thanks to Ayahuasca
Mon ami et moi avons pris l'excursion privée dans la jungle de Manu. Nous avons choisi Andean Great Treks pour son expérience locale et nous n'avons pas été déçus. Jacker, notre guide, était très compétent et soucieux de nous faire vivre une expérience positive. Nous avons vu une multitude d'animaux magnifiques, et il a été excellent pour installer les jumelles et prendre des photos et des vidéos au télescope ; il était clair qu'il était un guide expérimenté.
Notre cuisinier était fabuleux et a préparé de nombreuses options pour la plupart des repas. Il a travaillé d'arrache-pied tout au long du voyage : il a coupé des légumes sur la route et sur le bateau, et a tout préparé avec soin et minutie. C'était copieux, savoureux et agréable.
Le van et le bateau étaient confortables pendant le long voyage. Nous avons été impressionnés par la maîtrise du conducteur du bateau et de son assistant sur les rivières. En résumé, nous avons vécu une expérience incroyable et sommes très reconnaissants envers Andean Great Treks.
Pierre Thilliez Expérience incroyable en Manu – Aventure de 4 jours!
We recently got back from a 3 day into Manu with Andean Great Treks, and honestly, we’re still processing how special it all was. We had been looking for a tour that fit our dates but were having a hard time finding one. Elmer at Andean Great Treks was so kind and responsive, he made it work by organizing a private tour for us, without making it out of reach. That gesture alone told us we had chosen the right company.
We were incredibly lucky with the wildlife. We saw several species of monkeys, toucans, capybaras! Our guide, Jacker, and the whole boat crew had the sharpest eyes. They were constantly scanning the forest, pointing things out, explaining what we were seeing, and doing it all with such joy and patience.
The food on the trip was unbelievable. We genuinely ate like kings every single day. Every little detail was thought through, the lodges were clean and super well taken care of. The logistics were seamless, and we always felt safe, comfortable, and very well taken care of.
Flavia Rosianu A lot to learn in Amazon Rainforest
Hice una planificación de mi viaje a Cusco con muchos meses de antelación, el agente de viajes nos asesoro todo claro, es así que me recomendó los mejores atractivos que tenia que visitar en Cusco. Todo estuvo muy bien organizado, desde que me recogieron en el aeropuerto, hasta llegar a Machu Picchu y de vuelta. La guía Ruth en el circuito de Valle Sagrado fue excelente, sus conocimientos y la forma en que explicó todo fueron muy buenos. Honestamente sobrepaso mis expectativas, quede muy contenta por todos los tours.

My wife and I booked the one-day Machu Picchu tour by train. The Andean Great Treks team made everything impeccable, from the pick-up and drop-off to the tickets to Machu Picchu with the best tour. Our guide, Erick, provided us with excellent information. We are truly happy to have gone with you. I highly recommend booking with Andean Great Treks; they are very professional.
Jhon Logan THE BEST TOUR WITH ANDEAN GREAT TREKS!
Le trek de 5 jours de l'Ausangate était mémorable, pittoresque et instructif. La randonnée avec Nolberto jusqu'à l'Ausangate et les montagnes des Coleurs était incroyable. Les gens, la nourriture et les vues étaient incroyables, et Nolberto était un guide professionnel et sympathique. Je recommande vivement Andean Great Treks.
Mathew Wiest À faire ! Une expérience mémorable
Everything about this trip was incredible. Our guide, Luis, knew the people, the land, and the culture. He shared his experience and knowledge in a fun and friendly way. The trek was excellently organized to ensure we got through everything we needed without getting too tired. The cooks were incredible.
Maria Stein Best Ausangate Trek Ever
Unique place! It deserves all the fatigue, time and money to get here. The way up takes around an hour, it's though mainly because of altitude. View from up will be just one of your best memories in life.
Simon Weber One of the best things on this planet
We had a wonderful experience with Andean Great Treks, an amazing one-day hike of the Inca Trail and then the postal card picture of Machu Picchu. Our guide Wilbert was wonderful! Spoke fantastic English and had amazing knowledge of the area and history. The food provided was also great. Many vegetarian and vegan options. Thank you, guys of Andean Great Treks.
Haley Mclaughlin Wonderful Inca Trail tour with Andean Great Treks!
The tour is incredible; you can see several colorful mountains along the hike. The trail is very few tourists, so everyone can go at their own pace without any problems. Furthermore, Javier, our guide, does a perfect job, ready to answer any questions and provide all the necessary explanations along the way. We were completely satisfied with the service, highly recommended.
