Ecuador and Peru Tours and Trips

This tour was a fabulous introduction to this beautiful country with friendly people show casing their lifestyle. The landscape is very dramatic and changes quite quickly. I had never trekked at these altitudes and found the gradual introduction very helpful. Can't quite believe I made it to over 5000m on Chimborazo. The carefully chosen indigenous communities we visited showed the variety of cultures and lifestyles but essential showed people have the same problems the world over it's all about how they choose to deal with those issues. In the main the accomodation was good but I would have preferred to stay another night in Quito rather than return to our first hotel the San Jose, which was a little isolated. I wasn't very keen on the hotel in Rio Bamba + rocky toilet not great- and feel sure more appropriate accomodation could be found closer to Chimborazo. All the Guides were excellent - all the ladies showed a wicked sense of humour. Special shout out to Jason at le Jardin Aleman - his knowledge and field craft were remarkable. Dario and his trusty driver Wilson played such a key role in make Ng this such a memorable trip. Their passion for their country shines through and this together withe their kindness, humour and patience made them the dream team. We also fell lucky with the mix of our fellow explorers as we all seemed to have a similar focus (we weren't a shopping focused group It was a fairly full itinerary but aprming coffee break would have been appreciated and if it was possible to extend by a few days to include a vodysl dot it would be perfect.

where do I start!!! Peru is a country with many different places to visit, every region that we visited was totally different to the last, from seeing the Galapagos of Peru with is cute sea lions and adorable penguins to the mystery of the Nazca lines to the quiet beauty of the Inca trail, its a country that I will return to in a heartbeat.

A very good trip and well organized! Luis was our guide and a two thumbs up to him and everyone involved with our daily activities! I admit the trip to Peru was physically challenging for someone in their 70’s but I wouldn’t change anything I experienced during our adventure! A well done to Trafalgar and my wife and I look forward to our next adventure with Trafalgar to New Zealand in January!

All the members we encountered of the Trafalgar team were friendly, helpful and went beyond expectations on several occasions. The buses were comfortable, the tours were interesting (sometimes too in depth!) Hotels were very nice, food was plentiful and good. There was free time to explore on our own. It was a memorable trip.

This trip is a little more physically demanding than most other Trafalgar trips. Also, be sure to get a prescription for altitude sickness medication before you go. Walking sticks are helpful, and you can buy them cheaply after arriving.

Itinerary was very comprehensive. You're on the go alot and see many fascinating sights besides Machu Picchu. Coordination of planes, trains and busses were seamless and organized. Use of What'sApp was extremely helpful and would recommend for all trips. Tour director was amazing..very customer oriented, professional and caring.
