Amiwa offers custom-designed treks for individuals or small groups who want a Chinese vacation that has been planned down to the last detail and designed to fit your preferences and abilities. Amiwa will handle all the organisation; all you need to do is enjoy yourself while climbing mountains and discovering new cultures.
Whether you heard about Amiwa in Dali or elsewhere in Yunnan Province, and whether the idea of hiking up a nearby mountain tantalises you or you simply wish to add a bit of guided trekking to your trip to Yunnan, Amiwa can organise an excursion of a few hours or several days. Come by and see us in our offices in Dali...
The Amiwa team is constantly exploring the local trails and discovering new ones. Upcoming trips include: ascension of the Malong (summit of the Cangshan mountains, 4122m) in September, Haba Mountain and Valley of the Three Parallel Rivers in October...
Amiwa welcomes those with a passion for discovery and exploration to accompany our team on scouting expeditions. If you are not daunted by chaotic bus schedules, camping in all kinds of weather, and the unpredictability of a new route or forgotten trail, come join us in our exploratory wanderings.
Adayeen!! Welcome to the website of Amiwa, a trekking agency located in the Yunnan mountains in southern China. We appreciate the few moments you will spend discovering this beautiful region and our agency.
We are a small organisation, both local and friendly.  Here, you won’t find endless catalogues of innumerable countries spanning the globe: we talk about what we know and what we live day-to-day.  Yunnan Province is extensive, abounding in new vistas and new cultures for the adventurer. With a land area greater than Germany and numerous indigenous ethnic groups (several dozen), you are not apt to find yourself bored in this ‘land south of the clouds’…

Come with us and find a change of pace! Amiwa is at your service to help you discover Yunnan’s peoples and their cultures. We will lead you through magnificent mountains where you can take the time to contemplate grand landscapes, to relax and enjoy a good meal...without forgetting that it is the trek and the mountain that make the journey.
You enjoy certain surroundings or you’ve heard about one mountain or another: map in hand, Amiwa’s expertise at your side, you will travel across monoliths off the beaten track.  The Amiwa team is constantly exploring and re-discovering the trails that crisscross Yunnan Province.  We delight in sharing these paths with other hikers of any level of experience.
