OUR REVIEWS

People who stayed in this apartment, have only the best opinions about it.

We toured Peru by car for 2 weeks and were completely enthusiastic about the entire trip. Nora and Mario responded to all our wishes and put together a perfect and individual trip for us: the hotels were great, the excursions were great, the organization was perfect! We didn't have to worry about anything - everything was as described

Andean Origins is a travel agency that is one of the few to offer Fly-and-Drive. We have decided on a two-week Rd trip through southern Peru. Already during the travel planning and preparation we were convinced of the attention and professionalism. We were able to change the suggestions and they were perfectly accepted and integrated. From the arrival at the airport in Lima, to the handing over of the car, to the deposit of entrance tickets in the hotels, everything was thought out and prepared for us. Even during an "incident" on site, Andean Origins was available and took care of us. We were also very enthusiastic about the selected hotels (standard, location, cleanliness,...). Andean Origins remains our contact for the next trip and is highly recommended. In summary: it was wonderful. Thank you for everything.

We have booked a three-week round trip with a car as a self-driver. All the hotels were excellently chosen the journey very well thought out. We received an exact map (using an app) and were able to navigate very well. Even before a road blockade (strike) we were informed and were able to avoid a traffic jam. The selected guides were exceptionally qualified and quickly responded to all special requests. The excursion to Rainbow Mountain suggested as an alternative was also sensational and very well described. We would book here again and again. Many thanks for everything
