This trip was an excellent experience, from planning and booking it - Juve was so accommodating in our change of plans, to the trip itself. We do not speak Spanish and we had bilingual guides that were always there for us and I noticed that they were in contact with each other at all times.
Everything was organized perfectly, the meals included were at amazing restaurants, and the trip itself was an experience of a lifetime. And I fell in love with the people of Peru! Thank you!

We had an incredible 2 day hike to Palccoyo rainbwo mountain and Waqrapukara. Juve designed a fantastic itinerary that included both attractions with camping at Pomacanchi lake, I was concerned because I had never gone camping before, but there was always someone around to answer questions and make things easy for us.
Juve was our tour leader, and he did an outstanding job; I definitely suggest him.
