    This was an amazing trip. Explore ensured that the itinerary helped members acclimatize to the high altitudes. Overall 10 ot of 10 for the trip, the guides, staff and Explore.
    Explore! commented on this review
    Thanks for the fabulous review! On all altitude trips we aim to provide the right level of acclimatisation, and I'm glad to hear that it's working in Peru. It's such a magical destination, so we're happy that our trip could do it justice.

    We had a few mornings where we were with a local guide. To enjoy the morning sessions more, each person commented that there really needed to be a half hour break built into these days. By doing so, we are less exhaused, able to process all we are being told and more importantly better able to enjoy the rest of the guided too. They seemed rushed and certainly my husband and I did not enjoy them as much as we would have liked because of the pace. My husband had not been feeling well, so he felt he was just working to keep up. Breaks were definitely needed. That being said, it was an amazing trip.
