I was absolutely thrilled with the tour I booked with Travel Peru Agency to Choquequirao. I felt like Indiana Jones crossing the valleys and arriving at the lost city of the Incas. It was a wild adventure, and they didn't miss a single detail. If you love wild and authentic experiences, don't hesitate to book this tour.

With this agency, we did three tours.... the best one was the Salkantay trek (4 days: a beautiful experience). Wilfredo was fantastic: he explained to us everything about the itinerary and the different possibilities to get the Machu Picchu tickets; he answered via whatsapp to our additional questions; we could rent the sticks and the sleeping bags in the same agency and we had all the assistence also at the end of the trekking to get back to Cusco. Other two important things: the cooker was very goos and during the trekking we ate very well; in the price of the tour were also included two nights in Aguas Calientes at the end of the trekking. We definitely recomend this agency, especially Wilfredo.
