This tour was full of culture and community. We loved the range of activities offered in the cities and the mining tour was a real highlight, run by ex miners who have an amazing sense of humour!

Great way to see Bolivia, Chile and Argentina. The Bolivian Salt Flats were an unexpected highlight. So beautiful. Patagonia was also stunning. I really enjoyed understanding the lives of the indigenous people. Thank you.

This was my first big trip and I wanted the safety of a group and to meet new people. This soloish adventure was exactly what I wanted. I felt safe to explore and connected to Peru and to the other group members. It was a phenomenal experience that I will always cherish.

The Choquequiro trek was a trek of a lifetime. A strenuous but scenically rewarding hike with the final visit to the site a wonderfully rewarding experience. Amazing cooks/porters and logistics along the way.

This was a trip of a lifetime! G adventures and our CEO's, Felipe and Gustavo, made everything so enjoyable and easy! Getting to the Galapagos was no easy feat and our CEO's handled everything with professionalism and enthusiasm. I felt like I was able to show up and not have to think about anything. I will definitely be booking Gluxe adventures again!

Our 22nd Explore trip. Fantastic trip, outstanding tour leader and wonderful country. Its so much more than Macchu Picchu. Incredible history, great local guides and local people. Loved the Condors in Colca canyon, Arequipa, Lake Titikaka and the lake people on the floating villages and La Taquile Island. Some precious memories and on top of all this Macchu Pitchu and the Sacred Valley. Loved it.

Arturo was a fantastic leader and guide. Knowledgable, helpful, caring, experienced and amusing. This was my 11th Explore holiday and Arturo is up there with the best guides. The porters and cooks are heroes - we were very happy to tip them generously. The itinerary was perfect, though no one should underestimate the challenge of around ten hours walking on day three. Cusco hotel staff were fine but the layout around a central atrium means the rooms are very noisy. The hotel near Machu Picchu was lovely but the staff were rude, unhelpful and disinterested. Overall I’d fully recommend this trip - but be sure to get into shape beforehand and consider your kit carefully.
