We did a full week with them with Carlos as our guide. The entire experience from pickup to drop off was excellent. We visited everything the Machu Picchu area had to offer and Carlos filled us with so much knowledge. Valentin, the owner, opened up his home and gave us a tour of his farm with an amazing lunch. What made this even more special is the amount he gives back to his community. We came home feeling fulfilled and that we didn't miss a thing. Highly recommend to book them for any length, but with a week, you really get to know the people of Valentin's and how great they are.

I had an incredible experience with Valentin and his guides. The love for their sacred land is evident in their delivery of the ancient wisdom. My group really enjoyed the gourmet lunch and visiting the farm. There was so much to learn and marvel at. We were so happy to see him for our adventures and I look forward to seeing him again in the future.

My husband and I booked a tour with Valentine's Pachamama Journeys and couldn't have been happier. It was truly an amazing cultural experience. Our guide Carlos was incredibly knowledgeable and friendly. We also had a driver (Julio) who took photos and videos of our trip and then sent them to us, which was totally unexpected. This allowed us to just enjoy the experience. I highly recommend booking a tour with this company. They are very professional, friendly, and knowledgeable.
