Private vs Group Treks

Two Premium Ways to Experience the Andes - Operated by Inkaland Treks

Inkaland Treks is a trusted local operator based in Huaraz, working directly with independent travelers and international travel agencies.
We operate all of our trekking, climbing, and day-hike programs ourselves — ensuring total control over safety, logistics, equipment, food quality, and staff professionalism.

We offer two service styles:
PRIVATE TREKS and GROUP TREKS.
Both are led by our experienced team and maintain the same Inkaland Treks standard of quality.

Private treks depend only on guide, staff, and equipment availability at the time of booking.

Group Treks
