Second time is a charm

We have a catered trips from our day of arrival uo to last day of our trip. This is my second time in Peru. The first one was 11 years ago where I did the Inca Trail Trek to MACCHU PICCHU from a different agency where I met our Guide Evert for the very first time. The trek was hard but with the help of Evert and the other guide we made it and reached our destination safely. Having said that I promised that if I have to go back to Peru and do it all over again I will only request one of the best guide in Peru where I know I will safely reach my destination.This time I brought my daugther and her friends and used Evert private owned company where he catered our 8 day trip from Cusco /Sacred Valley/Machu Picchu,Raibow Mountain/Humantay Lake,and lake Titicaca.Our trip was fruitful, we fully emersed ourselves to the culture and the beauty of the country and the people of the Andes.As for Evert, he remains an excellent guide and I feel safer with him showing us the all the beauty of the Andes has to offer. I highly recommend his company for your future plan or travel to Peru if you prefer catered trip with family or friends ,solo traveller or just a day trip.You will enjoy the very best of your trip.

The beauty of the Seven Colors Mountain is stunning!

It was an incredible experience that I had in the Seven Colors Mountain, with guide Evert Quispe. I knew the historical context of the place I was visiting. During the journey he always motivated me and stimulated me, in addition to showing himself always requested. I loved the experience I had! Thank you Evert!

An amazing experience !

An amazing experience with Evert Quispe, the guide. The whole activity was very well prepared by him. He was able to give me information about this rainbow mountain, and help me take pictures! We can see that the guide was really used to and ready to face any situation. In summary, an incredible experience, and thanks again to Evert for this beautiful discovery !!
