Incredible Part of Peru

Richard_H, Jul 2024
Condors were the highlight, but the tour was so professionally done, and there was so much more ancient and impressive Peru to see from the comfortable bus and from horseback. Hot springs, hotel, and coordination were outstanding. Highly recommended.

Unforgettable memory

Tour guide is very help and nice . He introduced Inca history and all things happen during the tour. Horse man is very experienced and care about us a lot , horse are all trained well . It was all a unforgettable memory.

Excellent overnight tour, all around

Mark_B, Aug 2018
Awesome tour of Colca Canyon and the Colca Valley. Our guide, Juan Carlos, was great, especially since we were the only English speakers in the group. He made sure to single us out and explain things that we might have missed in Spanish. Plus the sights and stops along the way were well-chosen... the horseback ride was beautiful... and the overnight stay in Chivay was nice as well.The food was mediocre at best (buffets, price not included, chosen by the tour company), but the rest of the tour more than made up for it. Transportation was on time and the pickup and drop-off were super close to our hotel in Arequipa. Overall, a great find!

Very good trip, everything went well...

Very good trip, everything went well and we even saw 7 condors close to us. You can overcome the altitude effects with some tea and coca candies.

spotten van dieren in de colca canyon

nico_r, May 2024
we hebben een leuke 2 daagse achter de rug gehad waarbij het nationaal park bezocht hebben en waar we verschillende lama's, alpaca's en vacunja's in het wild gezien hebben. In de namiddag hebben dan nog een leuke paardrit in de bergen mogen meemaken en nadien onze spieren laten ontspannen in de warmwaterbronnen. De dag nadien hebben we bijna gans de dag de Condroz kunnen spotten. Een zeer leuke en verrassende é-daagse, een aanrader
