Review of Peru Hop’s 3-day Lima tour to Paracas, Huacachina, and the Nazca Lines, with costs, timing, highlights, drawbacks, and practical tips.
“The first 2 days of the 3 days trips at Paracas and Huccachina which led by the guide named Jose was very well coordinated and done extremely well. But the 3rd days of the Nazca Line Flight led by a lady was terribly done. We arrived at Nazca Airport at about 1030 hrs and we.were then informed that we missed the 1100 hrs. We.were.then told that we would take the 1200 hrs, but we were then.waited and waited for 3 hours and took the 1400 hrs. We had a terrible experience of waiting and waiting, but without hear any explanation from that guide. While on the.way back Huacachina to Lima,…”
Explore Tambopata in three days with ziplining, Lake Sandoval, wildlife cruises, night walks, a clay lick, meals, and lodging.
“The whole experience was a once in a lifetime experience. The condition of the lodging took us by surprise (no AC, little electricity, not very clean), but I think it is the best they can do in the jungle. Our guide Say was amazing and made the experience. He was very knowledgeable about everything in the jungle and also very friendly and caring. Would very much recommend for anyone that wants to connect with nature and doesn’t mind a little heat and dirt.”
Review of the 3-day Colca Canyon trek from Arequipa, with condors, canyon villages, Sangalle Oasis, meals, lodging, costs, and hiking advice.
“The three day Colca Canyon trek was so special! The hiking and the views were absolutely spectacular. Our guide Carlos was such a kind and patient person and he shared his knowledge of the animals, plants, and culture along the way. I highly recommend the 3 day vs the 2 day if you have the time, as you will have more opportunities to stop to take photos, try local fruit, and relax at the sweet accommodations in the canyon. The whole tour was extremely well organized and well worth the price.”

“The tour lacked proper safety measures, including no life jackets for boat trips. When activities were canceled due to weather, no alternatives were offered. The guide was silent during the 8-hour drives and couldn’t answer basic questions. A group member was also injured during a walk, and the situation was handled very poorly.”

Review of a 3-day Amazon adventure from Iquitos, with river trips, pink dolphins, piranha fishing, jungle walks, and a Yahuas village visit.
“We had the absolute best time on our 3d2n Amazon tour. Our tour guide was Danny, a local from the area who went above and beyond to show us what the Amazon had to offer and share his wealth of knowledge with us. We visited in October which was just at the tail end of the dry season, so the water levels were low but Danny knew all the spots to try and help us find wildlife. We still managed to see sloths, monkeys, caimans, snakes, insects, spiders and a wide range of exotic birds and fish. The lodge was spacious and comfortable with netting to keep insects out and…”
