• MY FIRST SUMMIT WAS SPECTACULAR

  Today I fulfilled one of my dreams: to climb the Nevado Mateo, and I could not have had a better guide than Lucho. From the beginning it gave me all the confidence and freedom to move at my pace, enjoy the route and really live the mountain experience. When we reached the top, Lucho gave us plenty of time to take in the scenery, take photos, record, relax and do several fun things without rush. You could tell he really wanted us to live in the moment. I recommend it 100%. Your patience, good vibe and mountain experience make everything safer and more exciting. I will definitely return to fulfill the dream of climbing the Huascaran with the guide Lucho. He's the best. Thanks for everything, mountain brother.

  We had an amazing trip to summit Nevada with Pablo and Javier with Andean Raju expeditions. They are extremely experienced and knowledgeable in the mountains and we felt in very safe hands. They were helpful, kind and really good fun and we had a brilliant day!

  It was certainly a challenge but very rewarding to complete this experience. It was unfortunately not a clear day and this made it a little more challenging for a first timer of a snow climb, but the guides were great and it was well worth it.

• Outstanding experience!

  Really good experience, the guides were very professional, they have very high-quality equipment, and the energy of the group was really good. Everybody was able to reach the top :)

• Great tours with Andean Raju Expeditions

  I was traveling with my daughter in Cordillera Blanca in early August 2025 accompanied by Pablo Bello Mejia, leader of Andean Raju Expeditions. We had a great week of touring, which included climbing Nevado Mateo, and Nevado Vallunaraju (which my daughter reached together with Pablo while I had stayed in the valley). I have over 50 years of experience with high-altitude tours in the Alps, the Andes and the Himalayas. Our tours have been organized reliably and well with the help of Andean Raju Expeditions. Communication (English and Spanish) was also very good. Pablo Bello Mejia is not only an experienced climber and excellent guide, but also a warm and cordial person with whom we got along wonderfully on the tours. This is much more than just offering rope safety. Pablo took excellent care of my daughter in particular, who is less experienced and reached her first 5000m peaks with him. I can highly recommend engaging for tours in the Cordillera Andean Raju Expeditions, and would go back on tour with Pablo and his people at any time.

  

• The best experience in Mateo and Huaraz!

  Matthew’s experience with the guide Paul and his companions has been extraordinary! There have been 10 organizations and they have attended to all members from the beginning to the end of the route. They have helped, adapted and, best of all, provided a high level of security for all. When I was looking to do Mateo, on the table I had many options but the best certainly with Andean! The decision was clear: Pablo and his companions carry a maximum of 3 or 4 people on the rope and that safety on the mountain is essential. You will often find cheap day tours where you take 6 (or more) tourists by guide and that is a danger. Don't save on costs in the mountains. Before hiring talk better with Pablo and go with him! On top of that you will help a small Enterprise and not the big organizations that hog all of Huaraz and Customer Service is very doubtful... Thank you team Andean! Keep it up!! Carles.

• I loved this experience

  I loved this experience. Pablo has over 20 years of experience and works very hard to make sure you can go as far as possible. Take your time to get used to the altitude for a few days. I'm from the US, Florida, so I'm from a country that is very low. Pablo knows a lot about the area and goes out of his way to make sure you have the best experience. When I go to Huaraz I will book more trips with him. My husband and I were very grateful for this experience.

  Pablo was amazing and let us use good shoes to go up the mountain. You must be in good physical condition to do this tour and take a few days to get used to the altitude. Pablo does his absolute best for you to reach your best potential in climbing this mountain. I have never done this before , for me it was amazing that I almost made it to the top and he helped me a lot, it was just me. I’m still proud of myself for achieving this and you will too. Pablo makes sure you are safe and prepared and he has a lot of knowledge of Huaraz. Amazing views , something spectacular that I can look back on and be proud of. I will come again one day , stay in Huaraz longer to get used to altitude and try this tour again with only Pablo which runs this tour. He is amazing and he takes care of you every step of the way.

  Through these lines, my wife Denisse and I would like to thank the professionalism, kindness, wisdom, and especially the patience and psychology of the guide Pablo, who helped us in the ascent and descent of the snowy Mateo, an unforgettable experience for our lives. Totally recommended, if you go to Huaraz please take it with this tour. Greetings from Chile
