Delvis arrangert. Fine opplevelser kombinert med “egne dager”. Vi ble hentet som avtalt på hotellene og kjørt til neste steder. Det var alltid hyggelige folk som møtte oss og hjalp med det vi trengte hjelp til. google g2024-10-28Verificada Beware of Poor Communications but experience Great Guides We had Pacha Explorers set up 10 days for us including Arequipa, Cusco, Sacred Valley, Machu Picchu and the Amazon and a few other stops. Our guides were very very good! We were greeted on time at every stop and that is comforting when as we do not speak Spanish. A couple of the hotels were disappointing but OK. We were very disappointed that communication on payments (by credit card) would cost us extra and was not disclosed. Also, beware of your Machu Picchu itinerary. Ours was very confusing and disappointing.
