The tour was excellent: beautiful and very interesting scenery. Excellent guide speaking good English, very attentive to each person’s skills. I am senior and had slight difficulties with adjusting to altitude but the guide helped me to climb, waited for those who wanted to rest or take photos. He gave very good information about the area. The stone forest is spectacular and waterfalls worth seeing. Food was good. Organization excellent. Good value for the money. Highly recommend the trip. The tour exceeded my expectations!

This day trip ist perfect to get out of the city for a while. It's just about an hours ride outside of Arequipa. We visited Yura Viejo first which ist very small but in a beautiful sourrounding. Then went on a hike through a small canyon to a waterfall. You have to wade through the water quite a bit which was a lot of fun for our six year old. He did not even ask once 'are we there yet' ;-) The waterfall is beautiful as is the landscape. Our guide was great and our driver very relaxed, too. The termal baths are ok, maybe not a must-do, but our son loved the warm water. Overall a great Tour.

We had 2 nights in the Amazon at Amazona Posadas. We packed in a lot to very little time. The lodge was beautiful and very comfortable, food was excellent. Our guide was very good but seemed a bit disinterested at times. Very knowledgeable. We then went to Cusco, had a walking tour and cooking class. Our new guide, Albero was excellent. Our cooking class with Jesus was fun, very accommodating. We then moved on to the Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu. Highly recommend the hike at MP Mountain. Our guide was very supportive and patient! Next we then went to the Rainbow Mountain. Unfortunately, though I requested we NOT go to Vinicunca, that is where we were taken. It was very beautiful, but very crowded. I did not understand why we did not go to Palcoyo. Was told later it was not accessible due to landslides. This may have been the case, but was unhappy about the lack of transparency prior to embarking. Overall, we were very happy with our experience and grateful to have completed it before the travel restrictions were set in place for the COVID pandemic.

We spent three terrific days in Colca Canyon with a private guide from Perou Voyage. Breathtaking scenery, informative and fun hikes, condors galore, good food and surprises in town, a unique home stay on a small farm - it was a densely rewarding experience and for me the highlight of our trip to Peru.
