OUR CUSTOMERS RECOMMEND US
Posted on Bowen OVerified Recomiendo Sara y Machulas Journey. Mi guía, Sara, es muy paciente, conocedora y divertida. Ella fue muy comprensiva con todos en nuestro grupo y se aseguró de que todas nuestras solicitudes fueran atendidas. Por ejemplo, cuidó a una persona que tenía problemas estomacales: le proporcionó sales de hidratación, se aseguró de que tuviera comidas alternativas y permaneció con ellas durante todo el viaje. También le encanta bromear con todos, incluyendo el grupo, chefs y porteadores, lo que hizo que la experiencia fuera muy memorable y divertida. También evaluó bien nuestras habilidades grupales y manejó las expectativas a lo largo de todo el año. Recomiendo Sara y Machulas Journey.Posted on Caitlyn KVerified Inka Trail 4d/3n con Sara Sara una guía increíble. Ella es increíblemente conocedora de la historia, la naturaleza, la cultura y más, y respondió a todas las preguntas que hicimos. Además de eso, era amable, comprensiva y muy divertida. Ella ayudó a d con cada pregunta y problema antes de que nos dimos cuenta de que el problema estaba allí. ¡Cualquier excursión con Sarah será increíble!Posted on chapelhill2004Verified More than guiding—LIFE SAVING David was the most incredible guide. I was very ill prepared for this trek. David set a pace I could manage; and he made accommodations for transit while still pushing me to challenge myself. He basically carried me (and my bag) up the first part of the mountain because I was struggling to keep up. He didn’t shame me or rush me. He just adjusted to ensure that me and other members had a good trek. He knew the whole path and town of Cusco like the back of his hand. I’ve told several of my friends to consider him for their upcoming trips.Posted on Cam ClarkVerified Diversión y aventura con un verdadero experto regional Tuve un tiempo INCREÍBLE con Davíd. Él es tan, tan conocedor de la zona — sus plantas, historia y gente — y realmente apasionado por el desarrollo de la región de Cusco también. Es hilarante, amable, paciente y un gran guía en general. Habla muy bien Inglés, y está muy contento de enseñar quechua también. Lo recomiendo altamente!Posted on G SVerified Caminata fenomenal a Salkantay inkachiriaska pass Increíble experiencia con el equipo de Machulas. Sara nuestro guía y su equipo, incluyendo Sekar y Félix hicieron que nuestra caminata fuera muy agradable. Contrataría a su equipo para futuras excursiones en Perú.Posted on Vibhas DVerified Increíble caminata por el sendero inca! Acabo de regresar de la caminata de 4 días por el sendero inca con nuestra guía Sara (Sarita). Ha sido una experiencia absolutamente increíble, ha sido todo lo que esperábamos y mucho más. El sendero en sí, las montañas, las vistas, y finalmente llegar a Machu Picchu como la niebla de la mañana temprano se levantó para revelar la ciudad perdida! Caminar por el sendero con Sara fue súper. Sara es una guía muy conocedora - ha crecido a lo largo del sendero, caminado por el sendero cientos de veces, y después de haber estudiado historia, fue una gran fuente de información y orientación en el sendero. Sara gestionó todo el grupo súper bien - nosotros los visitantes y el equipo de apoyo: gestión de horarios, coordinación de actividades y gestión del grupo de senderismo según las habilidades de cada excursionista. Sara claramente es muy popular en el sendero también - por lo que muchos de los lugareños parecían conocerla. También es divertida y llena de bromas. Los niños disfrutaron mucho caminando con Sara. ¡Recomiendo Sara como guía para tu caminata por el sendero Inca!Posted on nickfellowVerified Notable ruta fuera de la red a Machu Picchu Este tour único “Salkantay Plus” fue una experiencia extremadamente memorable. La caminata es físicamente exigente, pero el resultado es altamente gratificante. Sara, nuestra guía, era conocedora y profesional. Ella adaptó la experiencia a las necesidades y habilidades de nuestro grupo. Trabajó en estrecha colaboración con César, el maestro chef, y Félix, el luchador de caballos. Una vez que llegamos a Machu Picchu, Sara demostró ser extremadamente conocedora de la historia del sitio. Recomendaría esta aventura a cualquiera que busque un camino único, fuera de la red a Machu Picchu.Posted on Cameron BVerified Salkantay Trek Experience julio 2025 David era un guía excepcional, increíblemente conocedor de la historia inca y apasionado por compartir su cultura con nosotros. Las habitaciones eran excelentes, y aunque la caminata fue un desafío, las impresionantes vistas y la gran compañía hicieron que valiera la pena. Recomendaría encarecidamente este viaje!Posted on girl81408Verified El Camino Inca a Machu Picchu vale la IT David fue un excelente guía que hizo que toda la caminata por el Camino Inca se sintiera segura y agradable. Sus explicaciones del ITes fueron detalladas y minuciosas, y siempre se tomaba el tiempo para responder a cada pregunta — nos encantó cuando dijo: “¡Las preguntas están incluidas en este tour!” 🤣Más allá del itinerario, la interacción con David fue fantástica. Nos divertimos charlando, jugando y compartiendo una experiencia de senderismo realmente memorable juntos. Si planeas visitar IT Machu Picchu, te recomiendo hacer el Camino Inca — es increíblemente gratificante llegar a Machu Picchu a pie. ¡Y tener a David como guía es algo que recomiendo encarecidamente!Posted on floorioVerified Wij hebben de Lares trek gedaan en het was een geweldige ervaring. Ayde Carrion was een sterke,zorgzame,aardige en enthousiaste gids. Zij had veel kennis over de trektocht en de historie van de incacultuur en queasy gebruiken. Zij hielp waar nodig en was altijd stipt op tijd aanwezig en betrokken.Zij stond met haar team klaar toen mijn vrouw last had van hoogteziekte. Zelfs midden in de nacht kwam Ayde Carrion uit haar bed om te helpen met een Peruaans geneesmiddel wat hielp. Ook het eten werd er geheel op aangepast dankzij haar en haar team. Het was bijzonder om te zien hoe zij haar team aanstuurde en hoe alle mannen naar haar luisterden. Ook was zij een prima motivator tijdens de tocht.Wij hebben genoten van de fijne gesprekken, de spellen, het tekenen en wat er op ons pad kwam. Het was een onvergetelijke trekking.
