About
Working in the tourism business for more than a decade, more than 300 Inca trails done, I decided to start running my own company. I have had the opportunity to meet amazing people from all over the world that became my friends and family.

Eder, our guide is a great tour guide. Unlike most other guides in the Cusco area his English is perfect. He is funny and gives interesting info about historical sights, natural wonders and shopping and markets. We hiked the Inca trail with him to MachuPicchu. Although we applied very late but he could get us the tickets to the top of WaynaPicchu mountains which has a breathtaking 360 view including MachuPicchu.
His service, (unlike other 6 tour guides that we had for different places) is high quality. He provides food and snacks from the best restaurants and he booked us a very comfy and good quality hotel for our stay in MachuPicchu.
His service might be more expensive comparing to other companies but if you are looking for great experience and quality service I totally recommend him, it totally worth it.
I spend a good amount of money for the trip so decided not to ruin the experience with low quality tours, and I’m so happy that I made this decision.
Eder is trustworthy and he became our friend after this trip.

I got to know Eder through one of my colleagues who did full Inca trail with Eder. I contacted him through what’s app and he was very responsive and helpful! He kindly answered all the questions and concerns that I had and kindly advised me to not do the full Inca trail because of the rainy season in Cusco! We ended up hiking the short Inca trail and that was the highlight of our 2 weeks trip to Peru. He was very knowledgeable, kind, and provided all the useful information during the tour. He also sent me the full itinerary, so we knew exactly what was included and what was not. He also provided highly quality service, from snacks and lunch box he provided to hotel in machu pichu town. We also hiked the wayna pichu mountain which was super! I can’t recommend this enough, if you have time and energy to do any hiking or outdoor activity around Cusco, make sure to consider Andean Sky Travel.

Eder is one of the best guides I've ever had! He is extremely knowledgeable, professional, friendly, and organized.
We went on a 3-day tour of the Sacred Valley, Machu Picchu and Aguas Calientes, and Palccoyo Rainbow Mountain in August 2024.
When I was first deciding on the tour, Eder gave me a lot of options and flexibility, letting me create a custom tour plan that was also accessible to my 71 year old mother. I never felt like I had to worry or stress about anything; Eder handled everything very well and professionally. This included all of the logistics including train and bus tickets, private transportation, delicious food, and lodging. He was also very clear and punctual with communication. We had a problem at our hotel (not his fault), and he came and helped with the situation very promptly.
I loved how Eder explains things. He speaks very clearly in both English and Spanish, and gave us an amazing explanation of how the Inca empire fell to the Spaniards. Additionally, he gave us a lot of history behind Machu Picchu, Moray, and Ollantaytambo that we wouldn't have learned otherwise.
Palccoyo was one of the best experiences of my life, and I wouldn't have known about it because it is overshadowed by the more popular (and crowded) Vinicunca rainbow mountain. I'm so glad that Palccoyo was an option with Andean Sky. Eder stayed with my mom to make sure she was okay at that altitude while I had so much fun exploring the absolute incredible mountain range. We were all so happy to go on this trip of a lifetime with Eder as our guide! Especially my mom; she is so proud of herself for hiking and exploring these wonderful sites at high altitude!
It was my 2nd time in Cusco, and when I return, I will definitely contact Eder again! I already recommended him to my friends, and hope he has great success with his business, Andean Sky Tours!

Eder was one of the best tour guides I have used anywhere in the world. Highly knowledgeable and accommodating. We took his two day Inca trail tour to Maccu Picchu and he took care of every little detail to make for an outstanding unforgettable trip. Unfortunately due to illness we had to skip the hike portion but Eder took care of the itinerary to adapt it to the new requirements without leaving us feeling like we missed out. He was a friendly presence and always willing to answer any and as many of the questions as we could think of. He took care of the entire trip seamlessly and fit it entirely to our preferences around the core itinerary. Couldn’t hope for more from a tour guide.

Eder was AMAZING! We are a family party of 10, ranging from early teens to over eighty.
Eder helped us arranged our itinerary so that we had "easy" days in between ones with long days. He made all the arrangements and was quick to pivot based on our needs and desires. We were there for about 11 days. Eder provided airport transfer too.
Additionally, he assisted us in anyway he could, from offering a helping hand to my mom at Machu Picchu to offering to carry a backpack or two when we couldn't during hikes or rushing to the train. He is also a great photographer.
Finally, he arranged to have an extra tour guide to be with us at Machu Picchu so that he could stay with those who didn't do the Huayna Picchu hike.
We are so grateful to have found Eder. He is trustworthy, reliable, self starter, and caring. We got more than a tour guy... we gain a new friend. Highly recommend his service!!

From the beginning, Ed and Elizabeth were great at communicating and facilitating the complex process of coordinating buses, trains, and the Inca trail hike itself. Ed served as the guide, and I would highly recommend. He is well educated on Incan history, the flora and fauna, and is a pleasure to have lead the hike. Without hesitation, I will be recommending Andean Sky Travel to all of my friends and colleagues should they visit Machu Picchu. It was an amazing and smooth experience, and I never felt just like a tourist or client. 10/10 would recommend AST!

My experience with Andean Sky Travel was absolutely amazing! I reached out to Eder almost a year prior to my trip and he and Elizabeth helped me plan every detail to make this Solo experience one of a kind! Eder guided me all over Cusco, The Sacred Valley, Rainbow Mountain and Machu Picchu. His itinerary was exact and everyday was an adventure! He worked with the most knowledgeable driver that drove us everywhere, presented me with the most clean and beautiful hotels, we ate at local restaurants and tried all the local dishes. His punctuality and attention to detail was superb! Also, his knowledge of Peru, Cusco, the Inca history, and his passion and love for what he does is beyond a scale to rate! Im truly happy and greatful that I was able to hire Andean Sky Travel as my Guide on my first trip to Peru. I now have new friends and Peru has a special place in my heart becase of the true dedication and hardwork Andean Sky Travel put into my trip. Trust that you are in the best hands with Andean Sky Travel!!!

Seeing the beautiful land of Peru and meeting such wonderful people. Eder has extensive knowledge of Peruvian history and made it come alive for us. It was a once in a lifetime experience and we're so very glad we chose this destination for our 50th anniversary celebration.

Our tour with Eder was fantastic. He is a true historian of this place and an engaging storyteller which made for a fantastic tour of Machu Picchu and The Sacred Valley. Eder is easy to be around, funny and welcomed our many questions. He planned the tour perfectly which meant we didn’t need to worry about any logistics, booking trains, getting tickets before they sold out etc etc. Eder’s amazing knowledge and guiding made for a really informative, enjoyable experience that we will remember forever. Two weeks on and we are still chatting about our time with him, what we learned about the Incan empire and have started a book, 1491, that Eder recommended to us after the tour. A tour with Eder is a sure bet, an experience that will leave you in awe of the scale, considerations, intellect and advanced knowledge and tech of the Incan empire, a taste of the entire Sacred Valley and more. Book it in!

This company is amazing and Eder was the best guide we could have asked for to guide us along the Inca Trail. He was so knowledgeable about everything in our natural surroundings during our hike and answered all of our many questions about the plants, animals, and pretty much anything else we saw along the trail. He told us stories about the history of the Inca empire and taught us so much about Machu Picchu. Even though he was telling us so much information, it never felt like he was lecturing us, but instead it felt very conversational. He was an amazing guide and it felt great to support a business that pays its porters well and doesn't exploit the workers. Many tour companies in Cusco and Machu Picchu don't pay their employees fair wages, and Andean Sky is very transparent about paying their workers well. We would recommend Andean Sky Travel to anyone planning to visit Machu Picchu or looking into any of the other offered excursions. We miss Ed already!
