WHY CHOOSE WAMAN ADVENTURES?

Waman Adventures is continually working to become one of the most responsible tour operators in Peru. Therefore, we ideally try to keep our groups to a limit of 10 people. Then, because we fully operate all of our treks, we have total control over the quality of our service. Also, we want to make sure that you have a great experience on all of our treks and hikes.

Also, it is important that everyone involved in the operation of our services is treated properly and that the benefits of tourism are shared throughout the Peruvian communities. So, we now employ professional Peruvian guides (all bilingual) and local porters, most of whom have worked with us for over five years.

GROUP SIZE:

Mostly small groups between 02 and 15 people, to keep your experience unique and to guarantee personalized attention (if they are groups of more than 10 people we send assistant guides or an additional guide).
