Well-organized and paced trip to see the highlights of Peru in a week. Knowledgeable guide and friendly people to make the trip memorable. Hotels were enough as we did not spend much time in each.

Great experience—pack plenty of flexibility—then your money and other items. You will get lots out of this trip, more than you thought! Note it is safe, clean, yet budget accommodations, however. You will gain new friends, experience lots of understanding.
