We’ve been adventuring in the Andes since before adventure travel was a trend. Since 1975, Explorandes has pioneered adventure travel in Peru. Our founders boldly discovered ancient ruins and explored unchartered rivers in the Andes, spearheading tourism in remote regions. The first company to ever operate the Inca Trail, we’re known for ground-breaking active experiences in incredible places.

ABOUT US
1975
Explorandes was founded by Alfredo Ferreyros, a passionate trekker who loved the Andes and was motivated by the desire to open its paths to the world. As the first tour operator to lead trekkers on newly discovered routes in the Andes, Alfredo was a pioneer in tourism for both the Inca Trail and Choquequirao. He stocked his first office in Cusco with mountaineering equipment and camping supplies for these first trekkers to use on their explorations. These were exciting times for the development of treks that allowed folks to explore previously unknown regions in the spectacular Andes Mountains.
