This was the worst travel...

claudia_t, Jan 2026

This was the worst travel agency I had in Peru out of three that I hired. First, the driver they use was really reckless (even for Peru standards). Second, the agency is unprofessional (not to say dishonest). They take you to a very expensive restaurant for lunch which is in the middle of nowhere and the food is BAD and of dubious quality. I ate tasteless oily pasta and felt hungry the whole day. The Huacachina oasis is not worth it. Apparently, it is not even real anymore and there are some pipes feeding water into the little pond.

Gracias por tomarse el tiempo de dejarnos su comentario. Lamentamos sinceramente que su experiencia no haya sido la que esperaba. La seguridad de nuestros pasajeros es una prioridad, por lo que tomamos muy en serio cualquier comentario relacionado con la conducción y lo revisaremos internamente con el conductor. Asimismo, lamentamos que el restaurante no haya sido de su agrado; trabajamos con establecimientos locales previamente evaluados, pero entendemos que las percepciones pueden variar y su comentario nos ayuda a mejorar. En cuanto a Huacachina, es un entorno natural que ha cambiado con el paso del tiempo debido a factores ambientales ajenos a nuestra gestión. Aun así, comprendemos que esto haya influido en su percepción del tour. Agradecemos sus comentarios, ya que nos permite seguir revisando, evaluando y mejorando para a brindar una mejor experiencia a nuestros viajeros.

Interesting but not impressive

The walk is quite long, but with the stops along the way ends up the time passes fast. The return, as it is direct, becomes a tiring journey. At the first stop we took a boat to some islands to see penguins and sea lions, they are very few. What you see most are the local birds. The second stop is at the restaurant with good food and price ok. The taste of pisco was pretty cool! Finally we went to the desert for an interesting Buggy tour and lots of photos.

Obrigado por compartilhar sua experiência conosco Ficamos felizes em saber que, apesar de ser um passeio longo, as paradas tornaram a viagem mais agradável e que você aproveitou as atividades ao longo do dia. A observação sobre o retorno é muito válida, já que o trajeto é direto e pode realmente parecer mais cansativo. Quanto à fauna, a quantidade de animais pode variar conforme a época e as condições naturais, mas é ótimo saber que a experiência nas ilhas e a observação das aves foram positivas para você. Também nos alegra saber que gostou do restaurante, da degustação de pisco e do passeio de buggy no deserto — momentos que costumam marcar bastante nossos viajantes. Agradecemos seu feedback, que nos ajuda a aprimorar continuamente a experiência oferecida. Esperamos recebê-lo novamente em uma próxima viagem!
