Sandaval lake was an ideal location to experience our first trip to the amazon. Our guide, Soledad was knowledgeable,accomodating and filled with passion and commitment for the rainforest and went above and beyond to make our experience a fantastic one. Raoul our canoe rower worked determidly to make our experience a great one and he worked in sync with Soledad so well. I highly recommend Soledad as a guide. All of the staff at sandaval were lovely and couldn’t be more accomodating however, I felt the manager at sandaval was a little insincere and far more accomodating once larger groups arrived. The food was ample and the fresh morning juices fresh and delightful. My only critique might be the mosquito nets and hammocks needed a good wash as they were quite dusty. I would rate our guide 10/10. Our canoe rower 10/10. The wildlife and activities 10/10.

We are a family of 3 including a 12-year old boy who wanted to hike portions of the Inca trail but not for four days. This itinerary allows us to acclimate to the high altitude in and around Cusco, introduced us to various ruins and villages around Sacred Valley, and prepared us with daily walks for the final one day Inca trail to Machu Picchu. Our guide Henri has many years of experience, speaks good english with a good sense of humor, and is always energetic and enthusiastic. Overall the tour was fantastic. If there is anything less than ideal, lodging in Ollyantytambo is quite rustic. Given the cost of tour it's somewhat disappointing. Elsewhere Casa Andina chain hotels are very comfortable.
