We LOVED this spot...it was the highlight of our trip and we are so glad that we did it! Highly recommend the experience! Our family did not do a guided tour so I can't speak to that. We were in our personal vehicle and drove from Huanuco to Huallay. The drive took about 3 hours and most of it was the Carretera Central, the heavily-trafficked 2-lane highway that links Lima to the jungle side of Peru. We went up to 14366 feet but dropped back down to about 13500ish when we got to Huallay. Huallay is a national park with an exorbitant s/2 (about 75 cents) entrance fee,. There is parking next to the entrance. You can also request a guide for the hikes that they offer...one is a 3-hour route and the other is 5 hours. Our group preferred to just take off on our own...the route is marked fairly clearly and honestly there is a lot of just open plain so it's not hard to get your bearings and head back to the entrance. It was about 40 degrees, I think...our jungle crew was not well equipped--we were in layers with a fleece, tennis shoes, and wool hats and gloves purchased in Huanuco--but we were not too cold. The ground is marshy, so be prepared for damp feet. We also took in thermoses with hot water for mate de coca, as well as snacks. The park itself is amazing! Our kids had a fantastic time climbing and exploring and hiking. Thankfully no one got altitude sickness although we were all developing headaches by the time we left about 4 hours later. We are so very glad that we went!

The city tour was AWFUL. Our guide Diego was unprofessional, our van had 15 people and NO ac or windows he didn’t seem concerned that we were all uncomfortable. Rather he sat up front with the driver listening to music and didn’t interact with the clients. There were very few times during the hour car rides when he would point anything out at all; and when we asked questions he gave minimal responses. His knowledge on the sites appeared limited and he majority of topics circled back to global warming or aliens. He shouldn’t have this job. Period. The entire group was disappointed, at least we were all able to connect through that. He wasn’t physically able to Guide us through some of the physical sites, as a result we were received minimal information about these areas. So incredibly disappointed. We had a great experience with the trekking portion with Fredy Zapata, please see post on that.

My friend and I had a great experience with Sam. The day started off with getting picked up at the bus station. The car we drove in was very nice and comfortable, the air-conditioning kept the car at a cool temperature. Sam was very informative throughout the drive. The Tacama vineyard was absolutely beautiful and breathtaking. The tour was nice and thoughtfully planned out. The next destination was good as well. Lunch was included and it was delicious (but you will have to pay for the drinks you order). The Dune buggy through the desert and Sand boarding was the best part of our day. It was a great experience and quite the adventure. Highly recommended!!

We will leave the traditional way of visiting sculptures, old houses, city, to live a Historical and Cultural experience. We will have a day full of new routes and have a broad idea of one of the most recognized pre-Inca cultures worldwide. It will be very important to relax and forget about the classic to enter a mystical and enigmatic panorama. The best thing is that your camera will be filled with funny photos and videos and we will interact with all the people who go with us, we will make new friends. You cannot miss the opportunity to know the south of Lima and visit the famous Nazca Lines. This tour is unique!
Inclusions: I pick up and return to your accommodation with mobility, All Fees and Taxes, 1 Box Breakfast in the morning, 1 typical a la carte lunch per person, Entrance tickets to observe the Nazca Lines, Tourist Bus from Lima - Nazca - Lima

A great day with lots to see and do. The boat ride to start the day where we went to the islands of Paracus and saw the seals and penguins was excellent. Lots of history to enjoy while taking a comfy boat ride. (BRING SUNSCREEN) Following this, we headed to Huacachina. We were overwhelmed by the size of the dunes, and had an awesome time riding down them and riding the wild buggies. Excellent photos and great memories. Highly recommend to all. (AGAIN- SUNSCREEN NEEDED). The guides were great and very prompt.

Where do I start? I’m a solo traveler who booked a ticket to Peru 4 days before the flight and I’ve never been to South America and nor can I speak Spanish which made me anxious. Peru Hop was the first company I contacted via email and they have been super helpful!! From all the communication, the arrangements, Peru hop made it so so easy!! It’s not like the hop on hop off buses in Europe, this is a tour full of experiences and I’m always skeptical for paying to travel around but this is well worth it. More importantly the guides were great in particular Ricardo!! This guy made me feel so welcomed, talked to me like we’ve know each other for ages. He answered all my questions, made enquirer for me, and looked after me. Alex have such good insight to the national reserve. I met wonderful people and had the best time of my life. I’m booking Peru Hop again for Cusco to lake titicaca. I don’t usually write reviews but I had to share how good they were.
