Dear Christian,
Thanks a lot for this wonderful trek. Everything went very well. This was the perfect
trek!! I’ve done many trekking-tours starting 30 years ago, but this was one of the best.
Everything was so easy going. There was someone waiting at Lima airport to take me to the very nice hotel at Miraflores. The next day I was taken to th e bus (Cruz del Sur), you was
already waiting in Huaraz. We did some nice acclimatization trips. I liked the Raymi Inti festival at Huanaco pampa very much. We met my guide, cook and ariero with the donkeys and horse!! What a nice crew. I felt very well looked after and we’ve had a lot of fun!!
Being a vegetarian is not that easy in Peru – but my cook was excellent .
I was in a good shape. We didn’t need any medication. And I’m happy that I could climb
Diablo mudo,the pace and the help of my guide was excellent (the weather as well – no wind on top).
Dear Christian, thanks again for this great experience and I hope, to come back for Cordillera Blanca circuit and climbing Nevada Pisco.
Warm regards, Gisela Behrndt

We are experienced hikers that have trekked before in various places in the world (USA, Canada, Alaska, Europe, New Zealand, Patagonia, Nepal, etc). To help organize our 11 day Huayhuash trek we have chosen Christian’s company Go2Andes. He handled all the logistics of our trek: hired a Cook and Ariero, coordinated necessary equipment, food and transport. He was very professional and accommodating to our needs while offering valuable suggestions. Everything was close to perfect: amazing scenery, selection of camp sites and food. In addition we felt that we made good friends with our cook Denise and her husband Jose and will forever cherish our nightly tent conversations with them.
Huayhuash trek is one of the most memorable treks in the world and we can wholeheartedly recommend Christian’s Go2Andes to anyone interested in hiking in that area.

Back home in Germany we rember the Huayhuash tour as one of our most
exciting and best trecking tours. We did a 8-day trip from Cuartelhuain to
Llamac starting from September, 1st in 2010.
We conducted the tour with Huayhuash.com - the organization by Christian was qualified, at all times highly reliable and the rental equipment
was in good condition. All members of the team did a fantastic job starting from our guide Angel, who is extremely experienced, humorous and knew the area very well. Amancio is a great cook and prepared tasty and high quality food for the whole crew. The arriero José was highly committed and really helped us with all our equipment. Last but not least Senia, the assistant cook, was a valuable support and team member.
We want to say thank you to the whole crew and will keep the trip in our best memories.

We are seasoned hikers and both agree that the Huayhuash Circuit has been one of the most memorable treks so far. Trekking the Huayhuash Circuit was an amazing experience, with unforgettable scenery of the gorgeous countryside, lagoons and the high-altitude glaciers. Our group was small and personal, just the two of us, our Cook and our donkey driver, and this made the experience feel very intimate. Additionally, our Cook, Amancio, with his 25 years in Huayhuash, knew everyone we encountered on the trail by name making us feel even more connected to the community. The food prepared by Amancio was equally delicious, as we packed fresh fruit and vegetables, ate fresh trout from the lagoons and had fresh chicken. We didn't feel like we were just tourists passing by, but felt more of a connection to the land. Now we feel like we have a family in Huayhuash.

I have done the tour with "Go2Andes" the 9 days Huayhuash circuit. Delicia (Christian's sister) was my guide and Amancio (Christian's father) was my Cook ( donkeys driver) . I have done the circuit from 20/Aug-28/Aug/2009 .
All went good , food was excellent , the guide was very patient and wait for me when needed and knew very well the routes. And the equipment (tent, mattress ) was in good shape . So I have enjoyed walking the circuit very
much.
Muchas Gracias,
Oren Malerevich.

I have trekked throughout most of the world, including India, Africa, Pakistan and other parts of South America. I took my two sons to Peru and trekked around Huayhuash with huayhuash.com. This was one of the best trekking tours I have ever been on. The food, the equipment, the guides and overall professionalism were second to none.
Christian did a fantastic job organizing the trip, from meeting us at the airport to saying goodbye when we left. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Christian and Huayhuash.com to anyone interested in traveling in that region...in fact, I already have.
So Christian, thanks again for everything.

Nous recommandons vivement l’agence PeakPeru pour un trekking dans la cordillera Huayhash.
Avec une équipe très conviviale et attentionnée, nous avons pu découvrir cette région non seulement les paysages, mais aussi les habitants et leur mode de vie.
Le guide Christian, le cuisinier Jaime et le muletier « tio » aiment leur métier et sont désireux de nous faire partager leur expérience.
Leurs points forts sont notamment :
la flexibilité par rapport au niveau des participants : adaptation du programme. Nous avons ainsi fait deux étapes initialement prévues en 1 jour. Après le col de Cuyoc, Christian nous a proposé de monter à un deuxième col de 5000m pour avoir une autre vue de la cordillera etc..
la nourriture, en quantité et toujours excellente. Nous avons eu du mal à croire les plats préparés quotidiennement par Jaime : poulet farci aux asperges, pancakes, petits desserts à la cannelle,..Nous n’avons manqué de rien, et à cette altitude, cela compte vraiment.
la convivialité : nombreuses discussions et échanges dans la tente mess et tout au long du trajet. Christian est très cultivé et nous a appris beaucoup sur son pays. Tous les membres de l’équipe sont intéressés par ces échanges
les conseils appropriés que ce soit sur la boisson « maté » pour affronter l’altitude et le froid, ou bien sur les bains thermaux : se laver et profiter, mais après être sorti, vite s’habiller en raison du froid etc…
la sensibilisation et le respect de l’environnement et de la fragilité de l’équilibre homme/nature dans cet endroit du monde
Alors bien sûr, les tarifs peuvent paraître élevés et d’autres agences seront moins chères, néanmoins le fait que tout soit très bien organisé, que l’on se sente en sécurité et que l’agence respecte vraiment les habitants de la cordillera fait toute la différence.
