Great time in Peru
highmpgscoot, October 2026
This was a great trip. Juancho made this trip. He was good at keeping the group together and navigating. It would have been nice to have had goggles for the dunes part og the trip. We did so many things in just one day. Juancho made it so fun at each stop. Juancho was very patient when calming nerves of guest that wanted to do the dune slide but was scared. This trip filled every emotion. This was exciting and full of anticipation for the next stop. The inclusiveness of everyone in the group.

Overall experience
T9016HQjoelm, October 2026
Our guide Juancho was one of the genuinely best tour guides we have ever had in our travels. He was very serious with safety and timing when it came to the different excursions we did. Showing me he genuinely cared about our experience and ensuring we’d get the most out of it but also remain safe. He communicated extremely well and was very easy to talk to when you had questions. His charism made everything flow naturally and helped everyone be at ease and enjoy themselves. I will definitely always suggest this tour and Juancho!
