5.00Everything about this experience, from start to finish, was great. Do Adventures organized an experience I will never forget. Their communication was excellent in the planning phase, and the team that led the trek ensured the best possible experience. The cook somehow orchestrated amazing meals, the guide was incredibly friendly, entertaining and informative, and the Lares trek itself is breathtakingly beautiful. I cannot recommend Do Adventures highly enough.
Lares and Machu Picchu with guide Soledad

5.00We had an amazing tour in the Lares Valley and then Machu Picchu. The food, prepared by Florencia the cook, was outstanding, even better than in many restaurants, not to mention the pachamanca. Our horseman Segundino organized the transportation of our things to perfection. And our guide Soledad was amazing, she planned everything according to our condition and speed. I highly recommend this company and Soledad, Florencia and Segundino.
I highly recommend

5.00The guide Wilian was phenomenal as well as the rest of the team, The tents and facilities were excellent and made us comfortable on cold nights with hot drinks and blankets. The views along the hike were amazing with so many lagoons. I could not have asked for more from this company and our wonderful team, especially Wilian. The guide told us that the company is new from a tour guide born in a local village, and for that reason they employ locals along their excursions giving them more opportunities. For a young company they are very knowledgeable about what they do and will surely have more success.
Fantastic experience - highly recommend

5.00I can highly recommend Do Adventures. Our guide Soledad made us feel at home, and was very friendly and accommodating to everyone in our group. Soledad supported me on the hike giving me moral support all the time when things got a little more difficult on the hike. The chef was amazing and the food exceeded expectations.
A tourism company that is a cut above the rest

5.00Everything was phenomenal. However, a special thanks to the amazing staff, the chefs and porters went out of their way to make the stay comfortable and delicious. I also wanted to give a special commemoration to my tour guide Wilian. He was so phenomenal, not only did he provide the group with a great understanding of the history and culture of both the Inca and pre-Inca civilization. But he did it all with great enjoyment and fun. His sincerity is contagious and you can't help but admire the care he takes in his work. Wilian was constantly checking up on us, seeing how we were feeling and making jokes along the way to keep our spirits up to 100%. The work that Do Adventures team does is truly above and beyond the rest.

5.00Walter, Raymundo, the cook, porters and riders were hospitable and helpful! We booked this trip approximately with one month in advance, we had an excellent time, Mariluz made the booking easy and Walter and his group exceeded our expectations every step of the way on the Lares trek! The food was delicious and the attention of the porters was exceptional. thank you again for a great experience and we look forward to visiting Peru once again thanks to Walter and Do Adventures!
Impressive experience

5.00Everything was far past my assumptions. None of the feelings of trepidation I had prior to beginning did at any point appear (with respect to food, the camping areas, the latrines). Our aide Soledad is the most delightful man, so quiet and kind, and the doormen were sweet! The work they do is noteworthy and it makes the path conceivable.
Unforgettable experience in Lares
Daniel T,Sep 9, 2022

5.00Me and my family hiked the Lares trek. Bathing in Lares hot springs before the trek was an incredible experience. After that we visited a local family who taught us all about life up in the Andes incl. a weaving demonstration, crop production and traditional local clothing. The continued walk up passes by breathtaking landscapes, highland communities surrounded by spectacular snowpeak mountains where the melting water formed wonderful colorful lagoons. This adventure could not have been so exciting without Segundino, a speed muleteer. German, the best cook in the Andes who prepared the most delicious food one could imagine. And our guide, Walter who made this unforgettable adventure possible showing us the marvels of mother earth. Thanks for this memorable experience. We highly recommend this team to anyone considering visiting Cusco.
