Our guide Victor Hugo was amazing. He explained everything perfectly and it was all well organized. Our driver Felipe was also very good and drove safely. Would recommend a trip.

Yrene was the BEST guide we had in Peru. Her joy is infectious, her explanations are clear, easy to remember and we all spent an amazing time during this trip thanks to her. Everything was well organized, we had good food, easy pick ups and time to spend at each location we were visiting.

Thank you Gina for an unforgettable experience. I highly recommend this tour! We stopped at so many places of interest, we managed to see 6 condors, and the stop at the hot springs was so worth it.
