Well organized and the guide was amazing
Percy our guide was amazing. Every picture looked like a post card. I had some elevation sickness in the beginning, but other than that it was amazing. Sam and his team planned everything from start to finish. Everything was very organized. This was definitely a bucket list trip.

Once in a lifetime experience!!
Wonderful!! Once in a lifetime experience. Our Tour Guide Juan Carlos and his team did very good job with planning the entire trekking trip to ausangate and to Machupicchu. This is our second time working with him. Juan Carlos is the best. Do recommend him if you are in Cusco Peru.

Best experience in life with Exceptional team
This was our first trip to Peru which our family wanted to do it for long time with our kids. We had two families with kids ages 11.12 and 14 . JC made it memorable and wonderful experience from pick up and drop to and from airport , day trip to machu pichu along with getting train tickets and taking our time to visit and explain everything in detail. We also did 3 day hike on ausangate trail to rainbow mountain. Jc and team went above and beyond to take care of us and help us since this was our first hike and we didn’t realize it was so hard but they made it memorable by not only getting horse ride but providing us with hot water, hot water bags to sleep comfortably and most importantly made us vegetarian food. They had great team who even came to help us after sunset to keep kids warm and provide oxygen when needed. They did not rush us.
It was once in lifetime experience and we cannot believe that we hiked one of the hardest trails. Jc also recommended good vegetation food options wherever we went. We did Cusco and salt valley tour with him as well. Highly recommend this company for their outstanding service who went above and beyond to make it memorable for us.

We are thrilled you had such a great experience and it was our pleasure to give you such a memorable experience. We hope you can visit us again in the future and we will always make sure JC is your tour guide : )
