From the very first WhatsApp message, the service was flawless. Our archaeological guide at the citadel was phenomenal, deeply knowledgeable, and wonderfully welcoming. 100% recommended!
Flawless coordination. They provided hiking poles, energy snacks, and emergency oxygen. The Andean breakfast and buffet lunch were delicious. The turquoise lake view takes your breath away.
