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 Santa Catalina

Considered a masterpiece of colonial architecture, this monastery is a large complex of rooms, picturesque plazas, ornate fountains and a maze of narrow, cobblestone streets.

Reviewed By Mihamarko - Zagreb, Croatia

Beautiful monastery in Arequipa where we spent 2-3 hours just gazing at the architecture and taking in all the history and trying to understand the lives of people inside the monastery.
