Great Tour and amazing Yure - We booked full day tour via Viator and got Peru Trek 4. Yure is such as an amazing tour guide, he was punctual, toured us the valley, took us to amazing roads, places and was very informative. He knows the area and roads well and tour still reminds us of what a great time we had in Peru.
