Reviews from travellers on this tour

Yuliya

Best trip ever

24-Aug-2023

Best trip we had. Everything is so well organized. Yuri - the owner was very trustworthy, punctual and knowledgeable and flexible since we had 7 year old and some hikes were hard and we were very sow. We did not have to think about anything but buying plane tickets to Lima. If I had to do it myself , I would definitely spend months and months of planning and probably would send more. Prices are very competitive as well. Highly recommend
