At Mounterra, we believe the best way to honour the past is to walk its ancient paths alongside the people who call this land home. Founded by a certified professional tour guide with extensive experience leading expeditions through the rugged Peruvian Andes, our agency was built on a simple yet powerful vision: to connect ancient history with modern adventure.
Our approach is shaped by years of experience exploring the Inca Trail, the breathtaking heights of Salkantay, and the remote communities of Lares. With a deep appreciation for Peru’s rich heritage and living traditions, we set out to create a more meaningful alternative to mass tourism. Today, The Andean Way specialises in small-group journeys that prioritise safety, authentic cultural immersion, and a genuine respect for the ancient paths we follow and the local communities we support.
