Jose the guide was knowledgeable, funny and encouraging. Our cooker Pedro made the best ceviche I’ve ever had, the porters were kind and helpful. I honestly can’t think on a single thing they could do to improve, looking forward for our next trip. | Diego
They thought of everything. I felt well taken care of before, during and after the trek. Our guide Elio was superb and seemed to know what each individual on the trek needed at every point. Our chef Tani and his assistant Nacalio were absolutely amazing. Their meals were jaw-dropping in taste and presentation. I can't imagine how they made it all happen in a makeshift tent kitchen. The porters are truly angels on earth and the most hard-working people I have ever met. If this is on your bucket list - just go! | Tina
