About us

After many years in South America and countless tours in the Andes, we founded 5 Summits, an agency specialized in tours and expeditions in the Andes. We bring a network of contacts and a wealth of our own experience to our successful work. As a European agency, we understand the demands of European travelers and mountaineers. And with our regional experience in South America, we know how to meet these needs in the destination countries. One of our core offerings is the 5 Summit Challenge, the ascent of the highest peaks in each of the five Andean countries: Argentina, Chile, Peru, Bolivia, and Ecuador. But besides that we offer a variety of tours at various levels of difficulty and we are happy to support mountaineers, adventurers, and travelers with all types of tours and projects in the Andes.

Our mission

We aim to offer an authentic Andean experience. In addition to summit success, we want to enable travelers to explore the diverse natural beauty of the Andes, enjoy the unique landscapes, experience Andean culture, and immerse themselves in South American flair.

5 Summits works with select local guides. This ensures not only the most authentic South American experience possible, but also the highest level of professionalism and safety. Our guides are experienced mountain guides and ambassadors of their cultures and countries.

Our clients

Our clients are mountain enthusiasts, from curious beginners to experienced alpinists. They are looking for a safe and successful summit experience, combined with an authentic experience of the South American continent.
