Women’s Mountain Journeys
Women-only mountain adventures through the spectacular Cordillera Blanca and Cordillera Huayhuash, created by Inkaland Treks.
Small groups. Local mountain expertise. Authentic Andean experiences.
Whether you are traveling solo, with friends or as part of your own women’s group, HER ANDES brings women together to experience the mountains, challenge themselves and create meaningful connections along the way.

More than a trek. A journey together.
The mountains have always been part of our story.
HER ANDES is a special collection of women-only mountain journeys by Inkaland Treks, created for women who want to explore the Peruvian Andes in a supportive, authentic and professionally organized environment.
It is about more than following a trail.
It is about sharing the challenge of a mountain pass, encouraging one another when the climb gets harder, discovering new landscapes and meeting women from different parts of the world.
- Come for the adventure.
- Stay for the connections.
Born from the inkaland story
HER ANDES did not begin simply as a marketing idea.
It grew naturally from the women who have been part of Inkaland Treks for years — guiding travelers in the mountains, organizing expeditions, communicating with clients and making sure every journey works behind the scenes.
From Edita Oncoy, who founded Inkaland Treks after beginning her guiding career in 2006, to Karina Vargas and other women who have helped lead travelers through the Andes, women have always been part of our mountain story.
Today, women continue to play important roles throughout Inkaland — from guiding and logistics to reservations, communication and administration.
HER ANDES is a new chapter in that story.
Highlight
- Women on the trail.
- Women behind the journey.
- Women discovering the Andes together.
Why her andes?
Women-only groups
Travel exclusively with women who share your curiosity, sense of adventure and desire to discover the Andes.
Experienced mountain guides
HER ANDES is supported by the experienced guiding team of Inkaland Treks.
Whenever possible and confirmed for a specific departure, women-only groups can be led by one of our experienced female mountain guides.
When a female guide is not available, the departure may be led by another qualified professional guide from the Inkaland team.
Small groups
Smaller groups create a more personal and welcoming atmosphere, allowing travelers to connect with their guides, the landscape and one another.
Local mountain expertise
Inkaland Treks is based in Huaraz, Peru, at the heart of the Cordillera Blanca and close to the Cordillera Huayhuash.
Our local team knows the trails, mountain conditions, communities and logistics that make each expedition possible.
Authentic andean experiences
The Andes are more than spectacular landscapes.
They are home to communities, traditions, stories and a deep relationship between people and the mountains.
We want our travelers to experience not only the scenery, but also the culture and character of the Andes.
Connection & community
The journey is not only about reaching the destination.
It is about sharing the trail, overcoming challenges together, exchanging stories and creating connections that can continue long after the trek is over.

2027 WOMEN - ONLY DEPARTURES
Selected HER ANDES group departures are now being prepared for 2027.
Each departure will include the program, dates, duration, price, available spaces, difficulty level and assigned guide.
Traveling solo?
You do not need to know anyone before you arrive.
Many women join our scheduled departures independently and share the experience with other women from around the world.
You can travel solo and still experience the Andes as part of a welcoming small group.
Traveling with your own group?
Traveling with your sisters, friends, colleagues or your own women’s community?
We can organize a private women-only adventure around your preferred dates and selected itinerary.
Your journey starts before the trek
High-altitude trekking requires preparation.
Before your HER ANDES adventure, our team can help you plan progressive acclimatization around Huaraz according to your selected itinerary, experience and available time.
Possible acclimatization experiences include:
- Laguna Wilcacocha
- Laguna Churup
- Laguna 69
- Laguna Parón
- Nevado Mateo
The appropriate acclimatization plan depends on the individual traveler and selected trek.
