Great experience, loved our time in Peru

We had a private 2 week trip in Peru for 4 people. Everything ran smoothly from airport pick up to transfer to Bolivia. We especially liked our guide Manuel who suggested slight changes to our program which worked much better for us and we got to do some lovely walks. The guides were all very knowledgeable and spoke good English.

Great trip, knowing old stories.

Cusco, the old capital of the Inca Empire, is up there — 3,400 meters above sea level! At every step, history impresses: we visit Chinchero, the Sacred Valley and Moray. Peru is a dive into knowledge, culture and tradition. A journey that stays in the soul."
