Sacred Valley Tour

From start to finish every aspect of Peru Summit Adventures was superb I booked our adult family of 4 for tours throughout the Sacred Valley Pisac Ollantaytambo Moray Chinchero Tambomachay Pukapukara Qenqo and Sacsayhuaman Carlos worked with me to perfect our itinerary and make our trip effortless We were picked up from Cusco airport in a beautiful van by our amazing driver Franco and our tours were led by Juan Carlos JC The knowledge JC had of each of our sights was fantastic Our family loves the history culture and ecological aspects of the region and JC answered our many questions with depth and clear knowledge A great tour guide is one that not only has a keen understanding of the area but also works their best to accommodate everyone in the group JC was truly remarkable He was flexible and accommodating even when things were not on the original itinerary our famished group needed lunch in Urambamba We were also so grateful to Carlos and his family for arranging the pachamanca lunch---our best meal of the trip This was definitely an experience that we will never forget I have no hesitations and will definitely be arranging future trips through Peru Summit Adventures Btw their prices were extremely reasonable especially for this level of service Thank you for taking such wonderful care of our family

I highly recommend Peru Summit

I highly recommend Peru Summit Adventures we had an amazing time on the 5 day Manu Reserve trip Our guide Thomas was very knowledgeable and helped us spot many species of monkeys and birds The chef was amazing and even created a birthday cake for me in the middle of the jungle Our car and boat driver were very friendly and professional It was a great experience We had pre-booked the Inca Hike with a different tour operator and after comparing the service and professionalism of Peru Summit Adventures I will only use for any future trips to Peru

Awesome 3 week trip - Machu Picchu sacred Valley Choquequirao Ausangate

orking with Carlos to plan the trip was awesome He was very patient and helpful and answered tons of questions Ultimately we created a trip that included 4 day tours in Sacred Valley needed time to adjust to the altitude 3 days visiting hiking Machu Picchu 5 day Choquequirao trek and finally 5 day trek to Asaungante See the trips below We wanted to experience the culture the scenery with some adventure history and minimal crowds We opted for the less travelled treks while still including a few days of Machu Picchu Our family of 4 - 24 27 56 and 61 loved the whole experience JC our travel guide was awesome We travelled with him for 3 weeks and never tired of his playfulness He is very knowledgeable patient and had a great sense of humor He also took great photos that were very creative A tour guide can make or break the experience We were the first totally vegan group to travel with them Our chef and his assistant did an amazing job providing a variety of plant based dishes that were really tasty and creative I appreciated all the fruits and vegetables they lugged up the mountains on horseback The 2 muleteers worked incredibly hard delivering our luggage to each location and setting up camp each day Such luxury just to travel with a day pack They did everything so joyously and were so helpful The quality of the crew was top notch and really enhanced our experience JC referred to us a family The trips were well thought out to allow us a balance of hiking and sightseeing while avoiding large crowds where possible The trips we did were Sacred valley tour - Maras and Moray - fascinating Urquillos hike - with a gorgeous waterfallWilloc community tour - great connecting with the local weaving community Pumamarca hike - very scenicOlantytambo and Pisac1 day hike to Machu Picchu from km 104Tour of Machu Picchu Hike up Machu Picchu mountain - hundred of steps to get the classic view of MPTour of Cusco5 day hike of Choquequirao - lovely hike5 day trek to Ausangate - stunningI am glad we just did the 1 day hike to Machu Picchu to enter through the Sun Gate The next day we did the full tour and the last day we Hiked up the crowded Machu Picchu mountain it consists of hundred of steps to get the classic view of MP - worth it IF you have time We were glad to spend more time hiking Choquequirao It was definitely challenging But it was much quieter We stayed at very scenic campsites as well The highlight of our trip unexpectedly was definitely Ausangate The scenery was incredible and less physically challenging than Choquequirao but the very very cold temperatures at night and the high altitudes of 16 000 ft were very challenging for even the 2 strongest in our group It was an unknown as to how your body would react and we all reacted differently Fortunately with diamox and walking slower than you ever thought possible it was manageable and totally worth it Some people do have to exit early due to altitude sickness The solitude of this less travelled route combined with the most beautiful mountains and lakes we have ever seen it changed daily was the best hike we have ever done We would definitely book with them again They really focused on the details Carlos would call us after each trip to check in Very personalized service I was glad to be supporting a local company and this one is tops

The Ausangate Trek 5D

The Ausangate Trek 5D including Rainbow Mountain was the highlight of my trip to Peru This non-touristy trail has stunning scenery across 5 passes at high altitude It is truly an authentic hiking experience and a perfect escape into the mountains Glaciers high peaks vast valleys lakes and wildlife - it is rugged and beautiful terrain made all the more rewarding by the moderately challenging hiking conditions Peru Summit are an elite outfit and offered timely communication top quality gear and a highly capable hiking crew guide chef and horsemen An impressive truly local business that is growing It was also more than a hike The tour guide took the time to educate us on Peruvian history and Andean culture enriching the experience and providing a special connection to the local area I would recommend this trek to all hiking lovers as part of their visit to Cusco

Best tour company in Peru

Words cannot even begin to tell you how amazing this company is If I could give them seven stars I would I did the six day trek on the Ausangate trail and it was incredible It started by having the owner of the company come see me a couple days before the trip and fill me in on what I could expect That in of itself was amazing However the trip itself far exceeded my expectations and was undersold by the owner My guide Ruben was amazing He allowed me to go at my pace and he also made it so easy to do more difficult trails The trip was really tailored to me Every single day he allowed us to go further off the itinerary to cover more mileage If I wanted to point at a different trail and go off course to do some thing else he was all in Those two things in themselves would ve been more than enough for me Yet the two Horseman and cook were 7 stars all the way Their positive attitude and energy made for such an enjoyable trip I really wasn t expecting anything from the food and it was far better than anything I had on that whole I was in Peru They had so little to work with and yet all three meals each day were amazing I read reviews all the time and the reviews for this company were spot on I can honestly say this is the first time I ve ever written anything and I m telling you if you come to the area you must use this Peru Summit Adventures

Fantastic Tour with Peru Summit Adventures

I had been wanting to travel to Peru to hike the Inca Trail and visit the Amazon for some time A google search lead me to Peru Summit Adventures which I selected for my trip due to their ethos ethics and approach to the tour I had am amazing experience over 9 days The 5 day Inca hike was grueling at times but Ruben my guide was patient supportive and encouraging He is has a wealth of knowledge and passion about Incan history and shared that throughout the hike He also gave me several small breaks which helped to build my confidence in completing the hike I highly recommend the 5 day vs 4 day Inca Hike as you get more time along the hike to complete it and you see all of the the Inca sites along the way You also have time to enjoy the scenery and a day in Aguas Calientes which is not to be missed I noticed the other tour companies rushed through the hike and the individual Incan sites including the tour of Machu Picchu But Ruben spent much time explaining the history of the entire region along the hike so that by the time I reached Machu Picchu I had a better understanding of its significance The porters and chef were phenomenal as well I arrived to a large tent ready for me delicious regional foods and daily snacks to keep me going I was amazed at what the chef prepared each day And there was plenty of food to keep you energized The four days in the Amazon at Refugios Amazonas was spectacular I highly recommend at least four days to see this amazing part of the world Our guide Lucia was fantastic demonstrating so much knowledge and passion for the region She takes many pictures and videos for you using her high powered binocular so no need to bring extra lenses if you don t want to the weight In all I HIGHLY recommend Peru Summit Adventures for your trip to Peru It is worth every penny

Amazing and Attentive

We had three days with Edwin two days and Juan Carlos one day and the experiences ranged from climbing Huayna Picchu to doing a Cusco City tour They were both very attentive tour guides especially Edwin who took such good care of my mom while we were hiking Huayna Picchu They also always try to go above and beyond including asking us if we had another day in Machu Picchu to make sure that we re able to see everything If not they volunteered to meet us as early as 6am given ticket restrictions to give us a more elaborate tour My parents english levels are not the best but they could understand Edwin and Juan Carlos really well as they talked with great English and at a slower pace adjusting to my parents ability to understand them They were more than happy to be pestered with questions that my dad had haha All in all we didn t have to worry about anything from picking up to food options to questions and tickets Everything was taken care of at the private tour and we felt very safe all throughout our trip Thank you so much for a great time

We recently went on a 3 day small group

We recently went on a 3 day small group tour with Peru summit tours Normally we explore on our own but not knowing the local language and needing to get around we decided to go on the tour The tour group consisted of a driver a guide and the two of us We visited Maras Salt Pans The Moray Ruins Ollantaytambo Machu Pichu and Cusco and its surrounds It was fabulous The guide was local with huge in-depth knowledge excellent English and enjoyed explaining his fabulous culture with us They were very reliable in organising the whole tour adjusting it to suit us This was an excellent way to explore the Inca culture and this part of Peru We really enjoyed our tour with them
