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!

Aliza was very friendly and arranged two tours for us. She even spoke a few words in Dutch, which is always fun and appreciated. We did a sand buggy / sand boarding tour in the desert of Huancachina, and it was awesome! So much fun in a 2 hour tour, great! The next day we went on a Wine & Pisco tour. We visited 2 wineries, where we got an interesting tour on the process of wine & pisco making. After both there was a tasting, so we got our fair share of alcohol before lunch. Transportation to the wineries was arranged by a private taxi, which was nice.

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!!

I worked with Huacachina Tours to set up the perfect bachelor/bachelorette experience for my best friend, her future husband, and 20 of our closest friends. From start to finish the experience was incredible! We booked the Ica pisco and wine tasting, followed by the dune buggy and sandboarding experience, as well as private glamping for the night. They set up a lunch spot, prepared dinner at our campsite, and took us to breakfast and the food at all 3 locations was great! We were very pleased with everything. Everyone from the Huacachina Tours team was so kind, helpful, and really went above and beyond to make our experience unforgettable. We had an amazing time and we're all blown away with how much fun we had and how well everything was set up. I highly recommend this company!

We had a great trip to Machu Picchu booked with Cusco Unique Experience. It was a private tour, which I highly recommend for this important site. Karina and Brian worked with us to plan the perfect trip for us. They are flexible and will plan the trip that you want. Prior to the trip they sent the itinerary so we knew what we were going to do. We were met at the airport, even though out flight was very late, and driven to our hotel in the sacred valley that used to be a hacienda. Our guide for the sacred valley and Cusco was Rina, and we felt we saw and learned so much about the Incas. Our guide for Machu Picchu was Alex. He met with us the night before we were going to Machu to tell us what to bring, what not to bring, and what to expect. He met us at our hotel on Machu Picchu morning to walk to the bus with us. He explained so much about the Incas and Machu Pichu. He helped us with our photos and suggested good places to take photos. It was so great to have a private tour. We spent two more days touring with Rina ending in Cusco. We were offered one more activity to end our tour and we chose a cooking class. That was a riot because the chef spoke Spanish but the restaurant provided a someone to translate for us. The food was delicious. Our driver picked us up at 4:30AM for our vert early flight to Santiago, Chile. Overall, it was a wonderful trip. We loved Peru and we were totally satisfied with Cusco Unique Experience.

Arrived by cruise ship with the Port some distance from the town. Our guide Olenka was their to meet us at the bottom of the gangway. Drive into town to join our speedboat. Thankfully the only one with a cover to keep off the sun. A stop was made to take pictures of the mysterious ‘El Candelabra’. Then cruised around the Ballestas Islands with plenty of time to take photos. Thousands of birds & sealions not too mention a few Humbolt Penguins. Olenka gave a good commentary the whole time. A magical experience. A short time to look around in Paracas before we boarded the coach (11 people in a 26 seater) & spent a couple of hours touring the National Reserve. Again Olenka was very good with her commentary. Recommended trip & good value compared with ship tours.
