Just returned from the most fantastic holiday to Peru with Explore.Everything went perfectly and I was lucky enough to share my experience with the nicest group of people( 11 of us) you could ever hope to spend time with. Our Explore leader ,Erikson, was just fantastic. He was so organised,kind interesting and just a really nice person all round.He showed such care for all our group and because of this we all achieved the 4 day Inca trail to reach Macchu Pittchu which was absolutely fantastic. Our brilliant team of porters ,cooks and deputy guide Emile were excellent. I cannot recommend this trip enough- it was the experience of a lifetime. I went 3 days earlier and really recommend doing this as Cusco is so wonderful with so much to see and do.It also felt incredibly safe on my own.

One of my best ever adventures, made special by a caring group and Julio our experienced and knowledgeable guide who was full of enthusiasm and cared about everyone. My top highlights were Taquile Island, particularly the singing and dancing around the fire, and camping above the clouds on the Inca Trail. Other high points included the Lima v Arequippa football match, Huacachina Oasis, the floating islands, the hot springs and Ollantayambo.
