We had an amazing 3-day tour in Ventura!
We had an amazing 3-day tour in Ventura! From scenic beaches to charming downtown spots, every moment was well-planned. The Channel Islands day trip was a highlight—breathtaking views and wildlife. Our guide was knowledgeable and friendly, making the experience smooth and enjoyable. We also loved the local food scene—fresh seafood and cozy cafes. The itinerary balanced sightseeing and relaxation perfectly. I recommend this trip to anyone who wants to explore the beauty of Ventura in just a few days.

Great peruan experience in Colca
We had so much fun and a great insight into peruan life in Colca Canyon! Food was great and the hike challanged us! Ventura, our driver Eduardo and our Guide Paul are highly recommended. Paul was not only a great guide because of the hiking but he also told us a lot of the history of Colca and also about flora und fauna. It was a great experience at all =).

All the condors we saw was the highlight of my trip
This trip was very well-organized. Our guide, Jose, spoke English very well, was super informative, and quite easy-going. I enjoyed the three-day option as we had plenty of time to walk, see wildlife, and didn't leave Arequipa until 7 am.
