We arranged our 2-week Peru trip with Exploor for our family (3 teens). From the very beginning, we could tell it’s a great company. Erik worked with our budget ensuring that we got to see as much of Peru as we could and considered our needs as a family through the scheduled zoom call. The initial contact from the Peru Exploor group was later than expected, but afterward they were in constant contact for all of our questions. In addition to the detailed daily itinerary ahead of travel, the near daily WhatsApp contact was needed and appreciated since there were so many moving parts, with new locations and local points of contact. The pickups, accommodations, and guides were all first class. We started in Lima, then Tambopata in the Amazon, followed by Cusco, Sacred Valley, 2-Day Inca Trail to Manchu Picchu, Rainbow Mountain (Vinicunca), and ended our tour on Lake Titicaca (a perfect finale).
End of June and early July period was a great time to come. It enabled great views, especially for Manchu Picchu, Cusco, and Vinicunca. We needed to prepare for the different climates since we started in the jungle and ended in the altiplano at nearly 13,000 ft on Lake Titicaca. It’s a good idea to plan for altitude sickness, 2 out of 5 of us were affected— especially at Rainbow Mountain. Aside from the obvious sites, we considered the Mountain View Experience Lodge and the Titicaca Lodge Peru a must!
Our family had a once in a life time experience with the great people of Peru and their amazing cuisine. We had a deeper appreciation for its history and culture, especially due to the knowledge and enthusiasm of all our guides. We are so grateful for the whole Exploor Peru team for making this trip so seamless and unforgettable! THANK YOU!!
