Intense and once in a lifetime
Gregory_R, Jul 2022
This was an incredible trip but I wish Viator was more clear about how strenuous and difficult it would be. I also wish they had sent out a list of things we would need at the time of booking instead of the night before when we were already in Cusco, had to buy a bunch of stuff, and then had to be up at 4am. That being said, if you go, make sure you get Jorge Q. As your guide. He was the absolute best and helped us survive.
