- ALucy· June 27th, 2023The highlight was visiting Taquile Island - the boat trip on Titicaca was calm and beautiful. We hiked to watch the sunset with our knowledgable local guide Ivan. Staying at Valentino's guest house and being fed by his family was a priviledge.Trip date: June 2023Review collected by Explore!

- AEvdokia· September 25th, 2023The highlights are too numerous to mention here. Of course, the Matchu Pitchu, the floating island, Arrequippa as a town was super interesting too.Trip date: September 2023Review collected by Explore!
- APhilios· September 25th, 2023The visit to Machu Pichu was definitely a highlight, seeing an incredibly unique archaeological site with great views and good tour guide. Ollantaytambo was another highlight, especially the day where we saw Moray and Maras (optional extras), which were fascinating, followed by going up Ollantaytambo ruins, finishing with the Misminay community visit. Was a great combination of sites and activities on that day.Show moreTrip date: September 2023Review collected by Explore!
- AIoannis· September 25th, 2023The stay at Tequile island and the experience of the way that people live was a very pleasant experience. The visit at Machu Picchu was brilliant as expected. However, the visits at all the other towns and cities always offered another characteristic of Peru, which was very satisfactory to see.Show moreTrip date: September 2023Review collected by Explore!
