My guide Jorge Calderón was exceptional. He was not only incredibly knowledgeable but also extremely attentive to needs and individual pace. He tailored the experience to match my..."

"We initially tried booking with one of the more popular companies, but they were fully booked. So, we decided to give this smaller company a try—and it turned out to be the best decision! Smaller groups made the experience more intimate, and the guides were incredibly attentive. Here are some examples of why it was a great experience: Percy and Iza, our tour guides, went above and beyond to make us feel welcomed and cared for. They paid close attention to our needs, making the entire..."

"The trip was perfectly paced and absolutely gorgeous! Percy was funny, helpful, knowledgeable and personable. He handled everything the group or nature threw his way, and made sure everyone was well taken care of. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide! Pauline and Christian made 3 delicious meals a day. I’m not kidding I don’t think I could pick my favorite! They always had the warm meals ready for us which healed some of the more grueling parts of the hike. Thankfully we also had..."

"We had amazing time during our trek. Weather was excellent and we saw almost no rain at all. We had 6 people and 10 waiki’s + chef and the guide in our group so the group size was excellent. Our guide Johann had very much information of inca culture and also of Peru’s political situation and other general information. Only minus was the pre information we got before the hike. There were lacking in answering some of my questions. Returning to Cusco with train and private car was a nice..."
