What people are saying about Andes Mountains, Peru

We booked with Haku travel but was transferred to a trek with Marvelous adventure, so we can t say anything about Haku travels' tours, only the booking part. We got booked on the cheapest Machu Picchu circuit and not the same circuit or entrance time as the rest of our Group and guide through 4 days, so that was a big disappointment. We only got our tickets the night before our Machu Picchu day. Also the communication was not great in advance, but they answered pretty quickly. All in all we had a good trek but that was thanks to our great guide from Marvelous adventure. We recommended booking at an Office in Cusco rather than online if you want the better and cheaper deal and to be certain about the specifics of your trek. Be sure to request the circuit and entrance time you wish for!!

Legit service. I was a bit scare but everything turned out good. We didn’t receive tickets in 48 hours but the company reached out to us to explain the situation so we were aware of a little delay. They also responded very quickly to every concern that we had. Def would recommend if you buy last minute tickets

Broley, our tour guide was amazing and took such good care of all of us! This was a tough hike with the altitude but so cool to do.

Very good and organized trip. Tour guide was able to answer any question and made sure we were all prepared for the trip.

Simple trip. Transport was great, guide also and the mountain was exceptional. Lunch and breakfast were great :)
