Is it still considered safe to travel to Peru now given the political situation?

The political situation is somewhat unstable, there is an amnesty in strikes and protests until the new year. It may last a few weeks I suspect into the new year. We have a confirmed departure for this trip in July if that interests you.

Is there a single room supplement and is there no charge for this?

There is no group departure for this trip plan but we can operate as a solo departure for you.

I feel like my Andean experience got richer because of the plan B. The best part about getting a 'complete package' with Unu Raymi, was that I never needed to pay the various taxes or fees.

My experience with Unu Raymi was great! I chose the "South Peru adventure" and added a visit to the Ballestas/Huacachina at the start and one extra day in the Amazon at the end. Tailoring the trip and negotiating about the different activities before and during the trip was easy and done in good spirit. All the different trips around Cusco (and Ica) as well as the main trip to Choquequirao and Machu Picchu were well organized and I felt like I got to see the best parts of the Andean region. The guides were all experts and I felt safe and part of the team at all places I visited. My guide for the main trek (Choquequirao trek) was Teo, and one might think going alone with a guide that hardly speaks english as a foreigner who hardly speaks spanish would be difficult, but we got along very well and I put a lot of trust on him, for which he delivered fully. - I also thought I needed to buy my own snacks for the hikes, but Teo kept handing me different healthy varieties on each day of the hike..! Another shoutout to our guide Ana in the Ica region, for the ability to take care of the group with different cultures and ages so well. I'm sure nobody felt like an outsider on that day! The hotels were good budget level hotels, apart from two. The first one in Lima was luxurious, even had their own doorman! The one that fell a bit behind, due to a small insect problem was in Santa Teresa, but that was not part of the original itinerary. It got selected on the same day because I got ill and needed to stop the hike to recover. The illness (salmonella) prevented me from going to Amazon, which was a decision we did together with the organizor. So my review is excluding the Amazon activities. For the same price, I got to experience the Q’eswachaka Rope Bridge (great for someone who wants a little break from the car circus in Cusco;)), Pisac/Ollantaytambo tour and a sunrise in Tres Cruces/tour in Paucartambo. I feel like my Andean experience got richer because of the plan B. I also got an extra free day in Cusco, which I used to wander around the north side of the city (Saqsaywaman, Q'enqo, Zona X) The plan B activities were agreed together with the Unu Raymi team (James and Edwin) and in a similar situation, another traveller could choose something else. For me though, it was a good alternative and I feel like I saw everything in Cusco I desired and on my next South American adventure I can focus fully on Amazon. The best part about getting a "complete package" with Unu Raymi, was that I never needed to pay the various taxes or fees for entering the different activities, which were clearly not taken care of in the majority of the local "walk-in" operator tours. I often shared a car with people using other operators, and heared the "Okay it is time to collect the entry fees, except for you, you are already paid in advance", which made me feel special :D The missing star is from just a handful of occasions when I wasn't sure what is to happen next, if there is a car coming for me now or in an hour. Those situations were not many and always got sorted out, but at heat of the moment, an European traveller felt a bit lost in the big country. I think for an adventurous soul, who has some urge of getting off the beaten everyday-tourist path, Unu Raymi is a great choice! MikkoShow more

Reply from: Unu Raymi Expeditions
Hola Mikko, thanks for your honest appraisal of your trip! For the available budget you had I think we delivered an interesting & challenging adventure for you and we're delighted you got the most from it. It was a shame you contracted Salmonella with a week left of your trip, but we acted swiftly to put another plan place which incorporated some of the things you told us you wanted to do. We hope you left with some lifelong memories and we look forward to keeping in touch, Best regards from all of us at Tour Radar & Unu Raymi Expeditions.
