5.00EXCELLENT!!! Very grateful to have found them. Impressive how professional they are, impeccable logistics, a lot of knowledge of both the wonderful place and the sport. The exact physical recommendations (e.g. how to breathe, how to step) to climb without major issue. Woow I loved the experience and everything learned. Thank you very much. I will definitely go back to Peru and look for them for other expeditions and keep getting to know them. Thank you very much for everything, it was an excellent experience:) Dany, you're the ultimate, thank you for sharing your wisdom.
The best experience!

5.00Santu totally professional! Everything was operated in time and form and even with unplanned setbacks resolved perfectly. Dani no talk, the best guide, with all the experience to spare about the sport and about Peru. We were in the best hands, a great climber! I'll definitely be back with them.

5.00We had a great experience in Perú thanks to Guliana! We booked tours to Paracas, Ica and Nazca lines. Also had a great time in Cusco, Machu Pichu, Valle Sagrado and Montaña de los 7 colores. She managed to make our trip easy going, full of details and all very well coordinated. We met very kind and knowledgeable guides in all the touristy sites. I recommend to search and plan your visit with Guliana‘s help.
