ATTITUDE:

In all our tours we make everything possible to avoid any kind of problems, Peru is a very nice country BUT sometimes can be blocked by unexpected Landslides or by strikes in that case we can slightly alter our program. We have taken all these possibilities into account when planning our expeditions and have allowed sufficient leeway to enable us to successfully run these exceptional trips. A positive attitude is essential traveling in Peru. We will do our best to make things “happen” Don’t expect this country to be like home!
