    The tours of Machu Picchu and the Sacred Valley were the highlight of our 2 weeks in Peru. Huaynas Expeditions arranged everything for us and everything went without problems. Brandon was a fantastic guide the whole time and Miguel gave us a great experience during our hike to Rainbow Mountain. We have made a number of private tours in Peru and elsewhere in the world. This was by far our best tour experience and would 100% recommend Huaynas Expeditions!

  • Fantastic !

    My husband and I were stuck in Lima for an extra day and a half due to flights being canceled, Juve arranged a private tour. Our flight was delayed three more hours- the tour guide stayed!!!! We only had one day in Cusco due to the fight mess and I was going to be so sad if we didn’t see rainbow mountain. Juve sent Pole and Javier to help us on this adventure. They were knowledge, funny, passionate and extremely understanding. My husband and I would recommended this tour to anyone. Rainbow mountain is amazing but pick your tour guides here it will be an intimidate and amazing experience plus the food was amazing!!!!!
