Review of Peru Hop’s Lima day trip to Paracas and Huacachina, with Ballestas wildlife, pisco tasting, dune buggy rides, sandboarding, and sunset.
“I’ve known of Paracas for awhile but finally went and it’s a great tour. The tour guide was knowledgeable and interested in the tour and showing it to others. You do meet early in the morning but it is truly an ALL DAY tour. You get you money’s worth. We got to see and do a lot and we’re on the go all day. The boast tour was good and seeing the sea lion, penguins and bird life. Of course the event of the day is the dune biggies and sliding down the sand dunes in boards if you so choose but the drive getting there is exciting. The drivers…”

Review of Lima’s Paracas and Huacachina day tour, with Ballestas wildlife, pisco tasting, dune buggies, sandboarding, costs, and practical tips.
“This tour is about fun, not education. It’s a very long day if you depart from Lima, six am to midnight. The activities are well planned and organized, no lineup. I recommend buying the meal at the wine tasting, it was very good. Bring water and toilet paper.”
Review of the 4-day Salkantay Trek to Machu Picchu, with Sky Camp, Humantay Lake, mountain views, meals, transport, and practical tips.
“This is a breath-taking trek, both physically and visually. Marcos our guide was fantastic and truly poured all his energy and heart into giving us the best and most memorable trip possible. The trek is challenging, but some parts can be made easier with the aid of horses, etc, but this will cost extra. An amazing trip, definitely make time for it!”

Review of Cusco’s Rainbow Mountain and Red Valley day trip, with early pickup, meals, transport, altitude advice, costs, and practical tips.
“This is a really good company that arranges the best timing for visiting the place! You really want to be early bc the weather can be changeable and unpredictable. We were early so we get to see the sunny side of the beautiful colours (late comers saw snow and wind and grey mountains :P). Our guides, Carlos and Dionel, had plenty of experience and were supportive, making the hike less challenging (it's important to have 2 guides as the altitude can be dangerous). The drive by Cesar was good, too. Rec!”
Review of Cusco’s Sacred Valley and Maras tour, with Chinchero, Moray, salt ponds, Ollantaytambo, Pisac, lunch, costs, and tips.
“The tour was great, I enjoyed every minute of it, the only thing I can say is that I wish I had more time and even more information at each sight, but because I only had 3 days in total in the valley, I chose to do the tour that has most sights included in 1 day. And I am happy I did. If you want to have more time in each place, maybe it's a good idea to split the tour in 2 days. Anyway, my tour guide Lili was great and everything was very well organized, I was contacted beforehand with all necessary information and everything went super…”

From the Inca stonework to the dune fields, and the best of each.
