Had a great time on the 4 day jungle trek. - Had an amazing time, the guide Roger was supper, he'd stop and tell us about all the plants animals and insects we saw along the way, a concern we had before booking was that we wouldn't be fit enough to do all the walking, though we were maybe a bit slow we were able to do it all, the views were amazing and the experience is like nothing else, the food was delicious and healthy.

Roger was patient, encouraging, entertaining and so very knowledgeable about so many things regarding the Peruvian history, culture, flora, fauna and wildlife. Thank you for helping us create special memories.

Awesome Adventure - Wow what an experience! My husband and I went with our 3 adult children. And it was so much fun. Mostly because of our tour guide Vincent he was our leader and I trusted him with my family. He was not only knowledgeable about the history but the adventure part as well.

Loved The Trip! - This trip was one of the best guided experiences ever. Vincente was our guide and he was so much fun getting to know throughout the trip. He was very knowledgeable and showed us some of the most amazing places that we would have never found on our own.

Highly recommend. Roger was an absolutely incredible tour guide. Once in a lifetime trip! - Where to begin. This tour was so much fun. So many different sights and scenic routes in such a short time period. Roger was the best tour guide we could have asked for. He was incredibly kind, patient, informative, and a overall joy to be around. This tour is perfect for those looking for more stable accommodations and a trail thats not as intense as the Classic Inka trail. My wife and I will never forget the memories we made along this trip. Thank you Roger!
