Peru
Small well-run agency. Does extended treks, but we used them for day treks including fabulous trip to Lago Churup (4500m). Great guides, efficient, helpful, fun.

We found them through the hostel we were staying in, Churup Albergue
They do whole-Peru guided tours or also couples - every detail arranged. Group travel or individual packages. Specialise in adventure tourism such as trekking and climbing expeditions.
Follow in the footsteps of Joe 'Touching the Void' Simpson and trek around this stunning, remote mountain range. Although you may want to avoid the near-death crawl across a glacier.
Quite challenging walking circuit (10-14 days), over 5,000 metres at one point, with the most amazing mountain views you will ever see. Don't miss the natural hotspring where you can soak weary limbs surrounded by a cirque of spiky peaks about half way round the circuit.
There are loads of trekking agencies in Huaraz where you can hire tent, stove, food and a donkey to carry it all for you!
If you haven't got time for the Huayhuash circuit, this is a great trek with spectacular scenery. We went with Huascaran Adventure Travel - great guide and much better food and kit than some rival operators. We booked through the Albergue Churup in Huaraz, which was a good place to stay.
