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.
