We really enjoyed the class with Adrian, he is so passionate and knowledgable about all things chocolate, we’ve taken away a lot of new knowledge and will definitely try to make our own back home, sourcing only the best ingredients! Thank you :)

Colca Canyon

Reviewed By spospk - Seattle, United States

We did an overnight trip thru Colca Canyon with a guide - it was 22ish km the first day and about 6ish km straight up the next day. This hike is unbelievably gorgeous. We trekked into a small village where they served us local cuisine and then we stayed in a different slightly bigger village where we were served a scrumptious dinner. The basic room had no electricity and we had to walk to a toilet and sink, also with no electrical. The next morning, we had to leave at 4:30am to begin our trek out of the canyon - it was such a cool thing to see all the flashlights and headlamps zigzagging up the trail. Our boys, ages 9-13, did great and think it's one of the coolest backpacking trips we've ever done.

Monasterio de la Recoleta

This 17th century convent has been rebuilt several times due to earthquake damage. Now a museum, its rooms contain mummies, masks and souvenirs collected on missionary travels.

Reviewed By P4239YHmariap - London, United Kingdom

Our guide suggested we visited here on our free afternoon and it was a really great way to spend a couple of hours. Very quiet, we had most galleries and the church to ourselves. Lots of interesting and unusual things on display, definitely worth going to.
