The trip was really good with lots of standout places and experiences. Our trip manager was brilliant. He was friendly and knowledgeable and made everything easy. Some of the accommodation wasn’t the best (poor showers, uncomfortable beds, no safety lock box, no elevator) but for the most part acceptable.

Wow, the Huayhuash Circuit is an amazing expedition, I had a blast. Of course, the trek had to end, well because it's pretty hard and it's a loop, but there were so many magical moments, I wanted it to just keep going… Everything was so well organized with great attention to all the logistics, the guides Javier and Virgilio were exceptional, the cooks and the wranglers were so awesome, it was a trek of a lifetime for me !!!!! I’m sure you’ll be hearing from me again with interest in another World Expedition down the road!!!

Mysteries of Peru's Sacred Valley

(4 reviews )

Trip customizable

Best price guaranteed

The travel team designed a solo trip to Buenos Aires and Patagonia for me last year which was outstanding, so when I decided to go to Peru and Machu Picchu, I asked them to design a tour for me again. And again I was thrilled with their services! They tailored the trip to my specific interests and made adjustments as we went through the initial planning stagings until the trip was exactly what I wanted. When I travel alone in foreign countries, I don't want to have to worry about issues with transportation, safety, or unexpected changes to the itinerary. They arranged everything for me - transportation from each location with a driver and a bilingual guide to explain that portion of my trip. There were heavy rains in Machu Picchu before my arrival so some trails were closed and they made last minute arrangements for alternatives without problem. They provide you with multiple ways to contact them 24/7 while you're traveling, and I had to contact them once in the middle of the night to confirm a pickup time - they responded on What's App within 2 minutes and got the issue sorted immediately. I will use their company for any of my travels to South America - they are local experts, professional, and extremely easy to work with. Highly recommend!
