1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your vacation?
Every minute of our action packed 3 weeks was just amazing and wonderful. Arriving at the peak of the Red Valley was breath taking and then traversing along to Rainbow mountain was magical. Machu Picchu is indescribable, despite seeing hundreds of photos before going, seeing the real thing was an almost spiritual experience. Lake Titikaka was beautifully serene and staying with a family there was so interesting and fun..... I could go on...2. What tips would you give other travelers booking this vacation?
There is so much to see. Take the extra time and see as much of it as you can. There are so many world class things to see and do in Peru.3. Did you feel that your vacation benefited local people, reduced environmental impacts or supported conservation?
Using this operator was definitely the right thing for us to do. We loved the fact that we dealt with locals who not only contributed to us having a more genuine experience but we were able to make a small contribution to locals rather than a large corporation!4. Finally, how would you rate your vacation overall?
We had an incredible memorable vacation. The operator were brilliant combining looking after us with a personal experience. We were never part of a big group tour and their suggestions were better than anything I would have found if I had tried to arrange the vacation myself. 10/10Pratibha Nirodi review 2 Sep 2018
1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your vacation?
We loved Lençóis The scenery and the treks are amazing. The waterfalls and rock pools increadible to swim in. We would also suggest the trip to Pantanal - Caiman ecolodge , although not offered by this operator it should be included as an option since the Onçafari project is well worth a visit. It was incredible We also loved Rio and Salvador. Sadly although the waterfalls at Iguazu are incredible we were totally rained out and soaked to the bone and couldn’t fully enjoy due to thunder storms2. What tips would you give other travelers booking this vacation?
Do Caiman and Onçafari. Well worth doing Lençóis. Bring waterproofs and some warm gear for July August vacations. It’s cold at night and on safari at Pantanal You definitely need two days to do Igua?u properly. We only had one and due to torrential rain we had to quit after doing Argentinian side and missed the Brazilian side. Our soaked through trainers couldn’t take any more walking Do take long waterproofs or waterproof ponchos Brazil Is expensive and I would take some Real to start with at least. ATM Lençóis didn’t work so take money out in bigger places and cities Lots internal flights but Rio airports are easy to go through Buy your gifts in markets the airports are extortionate Return flight works out very long if leaving from Salvador3. Did you feel that your vacation benefited local people, reduced environmental impacts or supported conservation?
Yes Onçafari definitely did benefit conservation and I felt the Lençóis trip also was glorious and environment impact low since we took bus from Salvador Most of hotels were eco friendly4. Finally, how would you rate your vacation overall?
We loved every minute. The self drive in Bonito and Pantanal was super exciting It’s good to be independent travelers for a bit. All local guides were very good and helpful. We would definitely travel with this operator again. I would perhaps do fewer centers since packing and unpacking every day or so was very tiring A Memorable vacation enjoyed by adults and kids alike Perhaps could have done with a few days chilling at the end on the beach if we had few extra days vacation dayGary Wright review 30 Apr 2018

Hi Gary
Thanks so much for your great review, always nice to help and never a problem to put together a last minute trip even with two days before your departure.
We certainly pride ourselves on attentional to detail and quick prompt service and am so glad it paid off for you. We are very happy Sheila and you both enjoyed your champagne surprise.
I'd love to book you both on another trip to another exciting destination, it's never too early to start planning, imagine what we can do with plenty of notice. Haha.
Warm regards,
Ceri
