    ¡Increíble Perú! Mi experiencia con Inka Peru Travel fue absolutamente excepcional. Su equipo era profesional, receptivo y se preocupaba genuinamente por adaptar el viaje a mis necesidades. Durante el viaje, nuestro guía fue increíblemente conocedor, paciente y apasionado por la historia y la cultura peruana. Compartieron historias e ideas que hicieron que sitios como Machu Picchu, Valle Sagrado y Cusco cobraran vida. Aprecié especialmente lo organizado que estaba todo. Lo que más destacaba era su toque personal. Fueron más allá para garantizar la comodidad y la seguridad, incluso se registraron durante todo el viaje para asegurarse de que todo era perfecto. Me sentí como algo más que un turista — me sentí como un huésped valioso descubriendo Perú a través de los ojos locales. Christian (nuestro guía) hizo nuestro viaje tan especial, pregunta por él. . tiene mucho que ofrecer : ) Recomendaría 100% Inka Perú Viajar a cualquiera que busque una experiencia peruana auténtica, libre de preocupaciones y bellamente curada y más allá! En el aspecto físico de las cosas: Esto fue difícil debido a la altitud, realmente necesitas entrenar antes de hacer esto. Entrena con tu propia maleta que quieras llevar. En su mayor parte, esto es glamping ya que tienes porteadores montando tus tiendas, quitándolas y asegurándote de tener comidas calientes 3 veces al día. - #desafíoAceptado#leyasBucketList
