As a solo traveler I did not had any issues other than enjoying and relaxing. - I went for plant medicine, and a tour. I went to the rainbow mountain. I indeed challenged myself to climb to the top which was a phenomenal experience I had. I went to sacred Valley. I went to Machu Picchu. The food was on point the people were very friendly, as a solo traveler I was worried but Zahra and her husband were amazing human beings. They make sure I was comfortable and safe. Overall I had a magnificent time.

Nice tour guide and driver& Buffet lunch - We booked a private tour for five people and the tour company picked us up from the hotel on time. However, when we were dropped off at Ollantaytambo, we encountered some issues with our train tickets to Machu Picchu. Fortunately, our tour guide was extremely helpful and helped us to resolve the problem. Overall, it was a great trip and we really enjoyed the company of our tour guide and the driver. Our trip includes the buffet lunch. Nice restaurant and food. We really love it.

An experience of a lifetime - I’m a retired attorney raised in the Midwest (now in Oxnard, CA). Even though I am a somewhat conservative 64 year old guy not prone to expressing superlatives, I describe my experience as nothing short of amazing and life changing. Zahra and Balentine are new friends for life. They treated me as family (even enjoyed an extended-family lunch gathering). In short, they care. The retreat checks off all the boxes in what to look for in a retreat. Safety, focus, knowledge, confidence, attention (maximum 4 guests, which is very important), and pleasant comfortable surroundings all contribute to a very positive experience. Shaman Balentine and Zaher create, purify, and concentrate their own ayahuasca tea, leaving nothing to chance regarding the quality and potency. They were so attentive and intuitive to my needs, they even anticipated needs I didn’t think of. They both took a day from their busy schedules to personally guide me on a trip to some very unique and relaxing hot springs, allowing me to truly experience the local people and culture. My desired sleep schedule, motivation level, and mood at the moment (as shifting as it might be) controlled. The breakfasts they made at the retreat were so tasty, I didn’t care that I was being a glutton. The unique and local plant-ripened fruit such as papaya, cactus flower buds, and another that they “just thought that you would like” (I did) showed me how wholesome, nutritious, and most of all delicious, a vegetarian diet can be. For a lifetime “meat and taters” guy now working to eat more healthy, my friends have dubbed it as a verifiable miracle. Being lousy at foreign languages, I was reassured by Shaman Balentine’s command of English. His knowledge of Peruvian history, culture, and current politics/social dynamics is encyclopedic. He is a very personable and humble man-of-all-seasons who mastered his ayahuasca skills through a lifetime of training, hard work, and apprenticeship with his grandfather, a longtime and respected shaman. Having lived his entire life (so far) in the region, his knowledge of interesting things to see and do leaves the alternative of just relaxing and hanging out in the idyllic retreat an unlikely choice, but I managed some time for that, too. Zahra, Ballentine’s wife and mother of their three months old daughter, grew up near Paris and spent summers in Boston. Her English is flawless. She spearheads the nuts and bolts, logistics, and business end of the operation, arranging the tours of the Sacred Valley, Rainbow Mountain, and Machu Picchu. The tours, lodging, and food were top notch. Zahra was also integral in the ceremonies, debriefings, and in setting goals for each ceremony. She followed up on everything, leaving nothing to chance, to assure every detail was as it should be. She offered guidance and practical information throughout the entire process to make sure my experience was as best as it could be. I seldom, if ever, revisit places that I’ve toured, there being plenty more world to see. However, my experience was so exceptional that I probably will break this rule and return to my “new second home.” Thank you for an experience of a lifetime!

very good！highly recommend！ - 1. Reply was very timely. They communicated with me in detail and solved many of my problems! 2. On-site service is very professional and considerate. Everything was arranged when we arrived in Cusco! 3. Tour guides are very professional and can speak English very well. Special praise needs to be given to the tour guide of the Sacred Valley on Dec 22. We spend a perfect day in the Sacred Valley! 4. The agent is also very nice in person! I needed to find some local romantic restaurants to have dinner with my girlfriend, agent sent me the perfect restaurant!

Worry free tour of the Cusco area - It was an excellent experience! The tour guide and the driver are professional and friendly. The tour was so well planned. She picked us up at 7am from our hotel in Cusco and in one day we visited Miras salt mine, Moray, Pisac, Chinchero, and Ollentaytambo. We were on time for the train from there to Machu Picchu. Lunch was excellent too. Both adults and kids had a great time. Thank you!

Simply the best - From the beginning till the end they arranged everything and always available for questions and any other tips. Excellent service and such warm and caring persons. I have a new family in Peru!

The Best - It was amazing! Thank you for organising all my scheduling and bookings. All I had to do was show up and have fun! So grateful!

A Perfect Exploration into Peru & Myself - I had been planning a trip for a long while and I didn't want to have a "touristic" experience. That's why I searched a lot before choosing my tour company. That's how I met the lovely couple Zahra and Valentin and of course PUNQU. They call themselves Inner Travel Agency and this is so true! It was a great opportunity to discuss and talk a lot about my tour with Zahra. She is very helpful and shares all the information, not in a "touristic" way. And Valentin is a native and he knows all the secrets about Peru. We travelled Machu Picchu, Cusco, Sacred Valley and Rainbow Mountain. Then, I went into a plant medicine retreat which was a very unique experience. With such pricing, sincerity and friendship, this was really the perfect vacation for me. Completely recommended!!
