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!

My wife and I had a great time with Pablo and Cesar. This tour was fantastic; not too much walking, great history, and of course AMAZING food. We went to places that they went to as children; it was an immersive experience. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone looking to eat where the locals do.

We then walked to her appartment which is nice and cosy and cooked various healthy and delicious dishes together. It really was a hands on experience ! We had an amazing time. Margaret is so kind and shared so many great tips with us; she also speaks english perfectly. Highly recommended !

During my time in Peru, we did Instagram photo tour and cooking classes. I had a great time pretending to be a professional model. We visited the most photogenic places in Arequipa. Cooking class was super fun because we prepared local drinks and meals. The chef loves his job which makes his picanteria really authentic. You can feel the soul of the Peruvian predecessors in this place! I can truly reccomend!

The distillery sits amongst orchards, vermillion flycatchers and pink peppercorn trees, so our tour is the perfect way to escape the hustle and bustle of Lima. Our gin is one of only a handful worldwide that are distilled from grapes, and the only one which uses a Pisco (which we distil ourselves) as the base spirit. So hand-crafted takes on a whole different meaning when it comes to our gin. From spending nights curled up in a sleeping bag next to the stills, to collecting glacial water by hand at over 4000m up in the Cordillera Blanca mountain range; Alex (Founder, Distiller and CEO) retains a level of detail and a hands-on approach that is simply unparalleled. So we are offering a unique insight into how one of the world's most exclusive gins is made and the incredible story behind it.

Inclusions: 1 Free Gin & Tonic upon arrival

Exclusions: Lunch post tour is optional and can be laid on at the distillery at an additional cost. Otherwise, visitors are more than welcome to bring a picnic and enjoy it atop our Padgoda.

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!!
