Roberto was an excellent tour leader with a wealth of information about architecture, history, flora and fauna. He was a walking Google! He was enthusiastic and made the tour a lot of fun. He was also genuinely caring of each one of us (always carrying water and reminding us to hydrate and apply sun block, among other things!) The highlights of the tour include Cuicocha lake, Cotopaxi volcano, Mindo, and most definitely the Galapagos for its abundance of animals. Everyday was a new adventure during the 2 week tour. I thoroughly enjoyed it!

One of the most unforgettable trips of my life. The Salkantay trek was breathtaking — snow-capped peaks, changing landscapes, and finally arriving at Machu Picchu made every step worth it. Alpaca Expedition handled every detail, from camping to meals, so we could just enjoy the journey.

This was one of our best vacation/trips. Insight Vacations did an excellent job with our itinerary and the amount of places we visited and things we did. Really saw a lot of the cultural that we would have missed as just a tourist on our own. Hotels and food were the best. Bring a 220V converter for the room and a phone charging cord with a USB end as that was what is available on most busses and train.

I had a wonderful adventure in Peru . Our lovely group saw interesting and exciting things every day. The food and accommodation were excellent and the transport was spacious and comfortable. The experience was greatly enhanced by the humour and patience of our excellent tour leader Julio Cezar Yabar - we all appreciated his hard work and professionalism. A highlight for me was seeing condors in Colca Canyon. Thank you Explore . I will travel with you again
