That's an insane unforgettable trekking experience with your team! We are so satisfied with their professionalism and enthusiasm! Milton did a great job he is an expert and he took good care of us! He is so passionate about his love of hiking & trekking. Along the trek he shared his knowledge about everything the Andeans local languages and community beliefs.

Unu Raymi Tour Operator & Lodges is the best. They planned our amazing trip to Peru- Edwin our guide- and Jesus our driver. James managed our trip through airport accidents and transportation strikes making sure we didn�t miss any of the main highlights of our trip. Truly amazing! I highly recommend it and would certainly go back on our next incredible journey.

Fun Group!
