Rivers wind their way through the lush rainforest of the Amazon whilst glaciers slowly inch their way through dramatic mountain ranges in Patagonia and perfectly formed volcanoes reflect their images in pristine lakes.

Our guide was friendly, knowledgeable and approachable.”
Overall, I enjoyed the tour. The accommodations throughout the tour were satisfactory. I especially liked the hotel in the Sacred Valley. Inkaterra Hacienda Concepcion was a very pleasant stay as well. I wish we had more time to explore the area around Ollantaytambo. For the sites we visited in and around Cusco, I wished we had more time to explore each site. ”
Sebastian in Lima and Jose in Cusco we’re both amazing, they had a wealth of knowledge and a lovely disposition.”
