Our adventure with Joyce and the team of porters and chef’s was outstanding. They provided excellent service and Joyce was able to explain the history of our trek in clear fluent English. The food was amazing and always plentiful. Joyce had so much patience when I felt ill, provided extra care and answered all our questions. I highly recommend this trip!

"The tour was amazing. We had a smaller, more intimate group and an amazing Guide "Roger" who was very knowledgable of all the areas we journeyed. You could tell he really was passionate about his work and loves what he does. The landscapes were stunningly beautiful and different day to day. The food was amazing and plenty of it thanks to Chef Bertrand and A/Chef Cenobio. I felt completely supported and taken care of. Everything was organized and well operated. I would highly recommend this experience. 5/5.

"This was an excellent day-hike to a scenic lake about 3 hours from Cusco and provided a good warmup hike in preparation for the Inca Trail. Our English-speaking guide (David) was very supportive of the hikers in our group and provided ample time at the lake for photos, exploration (i.e. up on the ridge above Humantay Lake), snacking, and conversation. Everything about this tour was top-notch and deserves to be on your itinerary when visiting Cusco!
