Quechua Treks
We decided to combine our talents and build our dream together, and so Quechua treks was born. Having both worked as tour guides for many years, we have a wide mix of knowledge and a hunger for adventure.
Our inspiration is our beautiful country and it’s remarkable people, which makes us believe there is always more to see and discover. We live our dream, constantly exploring and uncovering new refuges that we can then share with our clients. We will take you to the places less touched by tourism so you can truly encounter Peru and discover more of yourself.
We want to listen to what you are searching for and what kind of experience you are looking for from your adventure into Peru. With our years of experience, local knowledge and superb team we will be able to create a trip perfectly tailored to you.

Let me start by explaining that I made this as difficult as I possibly could. Not intentionally, of course, it just happened that way. I started planning this trip in January of 2018, with intention of paying it off (they offer simple payment plans) by the end of the year, with departure the first week of January 2019. I set up an itinerary and began the payment process. Half way through the year, however, life happened, throwing a giant roadblock in my way. I had already been working with... read more

Our guides Arturo, Wilson and Ronald were very good. We enjoyed all parts of the trip. The food tour in Lima was great and a lot of fun. The hotel in Sacred valley was amazing, and we found the tours of the different Inca sites and Macchu Picchu to be interesting and informative. The only negative was the hotel in Cusco - Hotel Palacio Manco Capac. We felt the rooms were too small, the wifi was weak inside of the room and the service was very slow in that particular hotel.

Thank you for you comments Omar!
We are really happy to know that you enjoyed your trip in Perú and thank you for the feedback regarding your hotel in Cusco, we will take your comments to the manager.
All the best,
Carla

We just completed a fantastic trip to Peru where Carla planned three tours in one. It was quite complicated, but it went off without a hitch. Everything was taken care of from the moment Arturo picked us up at the airport in Lima until Ronald dropped us off at the airport in Cusco. Arturo is a great tour guide and loved showing us around Lima including a really great restaurant for lunch. Then it was off to Cusco, where Ronald greeted us with hot coca tea at the airport and Zac met us at... read more

Hello John,
Sorry for the delay responding your amazing review! and we are really happy to know that you and your family had a great time!
Zac, Arturo, Wilson and Ronald are the best in what they do and they enjoy doing it!
The tour planning was complicated but you got to visit amazing sites and had great adventures and it was really my pleasure to help you plan it.

My guide and driver were great.
The only issues would be the hotels in Machu Picchu and urabamba.
In Machu Picchu I was right next to the train which made its way every 2 hours not allowing for any sleep nor peace.
The setting in Urubamba was beautiful but the entry door was completely sealed making it loud for people walking bye and bugs were ever present.
Thanks

It is difficult to state the most memorable attractions because there were so many. Every attraction was unbelievable and at times jaw dropping. The attractions and scenery were something to behold!The adventure gave us a briliant insight into the geography, geology, history , culture, cuisine and lifestyle of Peruvians, both past and present.
I should state at this stage that our original reason to come to Peru was to learn about the Inca civilisation and we came away with an indepth... read more

This trip was planned to perfection by Carla at the KimKim Team. She found a great company, Quechua Treks. Our guide, Johann, was above and beyond amazing! We did the Choquerquiro hike and ran into other hikers who did not have a great experience. Ours was perfect. We had 4 people doing this hike. One person, (me!) had trouble on the last day because of the heat. Johann was very attentive without being obnoxious, to make sure I was safe.
The KimKim team was also flexible when our... read more

Hello Anna,
We are really happy to know that you had a great time during your trek!
The Choquequirao trek is a hard hike and we are glad to know that you didn´t have any problems at the end; Johan is a great guide and so considerate, you were in good hands.
It was my pleasure to help you plan your trip!
All the best,

The local agent Quechua Treks did a great job, we love all the details they arrange, like the snakes on the bus food restaurant our guide Zacarias pick was all amazing. Zac makes the trip even more enjoyable he is great tour guides full knowledge of the sites and plannings the trip in perfect timing. And our drive also did a great job.
Zip lining was very adventurous but not for everyone our group enjoyed.
Scared dreams lodge is beautiful hotel to stay, we loved it a lot.

While Carla was great planning the trip, our guide, Rolfi, left much to be desired. Rolfi was rude, uninformed, unpleasant, unhelpful and unprofessional.
He was late picking us up by almost 20 minutes. When he finally arrived, he muttered something like the flight was early (by 10 minutes), it's only 10 minutes you had to wait. No apologies. Nothing. At lunch, Rolfi insisted that we order the baked Guinea Pig (which was very expensive) and reminded us that our drinks were on our own but... read more

Dear Anne,
We are trully sorry that Rolfi did not accomplished your spectations as a tour guide, we have never had a bad feedback from him, totally the oposite we always had great reviews about him, you can read them in our reviews. We will talk to him about the meals so he can be more carefull about what we want to cover in the meals included in our trips. We apologize for that inconvenience . About Machu Picchu, is still difficult to deal with the new regulations they are changing their... read more

An absolutely awesome trip. The W Trek was simply remarkable. Mayra and Quechua did an amazing job of arranging everything. All our transfers came off without a hitch. Hotels and guides were wonderful. Will definitely work with them again on my next trip to South America.

Thanks Mark, a pleasure to have you with us for a second time. Hope to see you guys soon !

My trek to Ausangate was the trip of a lifetime and Quechua Treks is a first-class company. Quechua was extremely responsive immediately after my first email inquiry and provided me with three great trek options. They are incredibly knowledgeable about the area and their crew couldn't have been better. Rolfi, my guide, was beyond personable, funny, flexible and extremely experienced. Always felt safe and like I was experiencing and learning so much about the area and culture because of... read more

Once again another absolutely amazing trip with Quechua Treks. Our guide, Wilson was amazing, as were every single one of our porters (whose names, unfortunately I can't remember). Wilson was a gem, took extra time with my daughter, who has never been to Peru. He got some truly exceptional photos of us along the trek. The planning was seamless and tons of fun thanks to all the hard work from Haley and crew at Quechua Treks. The food was beyond amazing, I always look forward to the food... read more

We had a fantastic trip, trip of a lifetime really. Everyone was super helpful from the early stages of planning, a number of changes in dates and people right down to the actual trip where everything was organized well and worked out pretty much exactly how I imagined it. Northern Peru was amazing, super interesting and off the beaten path. The guides were amazing and we learned so much. English guides were hard to come by in the North, but all the Peruvians we met were super friendly and... read more

From start to finish, this was an incredible experience. Trip planning was super easy. Trekking was super hard and completely worth it. Our guide, Rolfi, was fantastic, the food was fantastic (thanks to Edgar), the landscapes and people are fantastic.

Thanks Kristin!! I am so glad you enjoyed your trip!!!

We just took three teenage boys on an adventure in Peru. We used KimKim to start the trip and Quechua Treks. I can not express what an amazing trip this was. James and Haley were amazing at changing details and getting the trip just right, and Quechua Treks were the best. From hotels, to amazing food, great adventures, and the best guides we have had on any trip. They were also extremely accommodating when we had to make a change mid trip. This was such an amazing company. We could not have done what we did without them. Thank you for making such an amazing memory for our family.

Hi Holly, many thanks for letting us help you plan your trip. I really enjoyed helping you put your trip together and you were great fun to work with. I'm pleased Hayley was able to help take over whilst I was on leave. The crew all loved having you here & I'm delighted you got the most of your stay, the photos look awesome!! Keep in touch Holly, best regards, James

Once again, another amazing trip with Quechua Treks. Their attention to detail is just amazing. Haley and James did a fabulous job planning the trip. Zac offered a great alternative route to our like that was spot on. Daniel, our guide, is a gem, took us around the Sacred Valley showing us some of the amazing locations in the Sacred Valley. Our hotel in Lamay, Nunu, was one of the best I have ever stayed at. Hiking Lares was a real joy with Daniel leading the way. The food Quechua... read more

I could not have asked for a more amazing experience on the Lares Trek! Our guide Daniel was phenomenal - it felt like traveling with a good friend. He was incredibly knowledgeable about the land, the history, and the people, and he kept the pace of our journey challenging yet rewarding. Our porters were lovely and our camp cook was an absolute artist. I couldn't believe the meals that were being served to us; they were easily worthy of very expensive restaurants in the US, and here he was... read more

Hi Caro, I'm really pleased you enjoyed the trip I planned for yourself & Kristin. It sounds like it was an ideal way to celebrate your hen-do! Hope to see you back in Peru, best James

Kimkim did not reply to emails. This was frustrating. James switched to Haley three weeks before the trip - we were not happy to have our specialist changed at the last minute without warning. We were disappointed in several aspects of the trip - neither James or Haley properly dealt with the following:
1. Informing us of luggage restrictions within Peru and our trip in particular
2. Informing us of the need for extra Peruvian currency in the small towns (and I asked about cash in... read more

Hi Nancy, I think we covered most of the points of your review, much of it was down to your failure to refer to much of the documentation and information provided over an extensive and lengthy trip planning process. It's a shame you felt it necessary to leave your review, but we're pleased to hear the set-up of the operation and overall trip planning execution went as expected. Best James

Rolfi (Guide) was exceptional. His knowledge of the places we visited and his personality made for a memorable experience. He is easygoing, has a great sense of humor and was extremely flexible when we needed/wanted to make adjustments to the schedule. He was our guide when we arrived July 1st and our friend when we left July 7th.
Juan Carlos (driver) also took great care to make sure we got everywhere safely and even though his english is limited, we were able to have some good... read more

Hi Bob, thanks for your review, we're glad you enjoyed the tour we put together. The rest of your review is largely inaccurate as all the information was supplied in a very long & extensive trip planning conversation. Hope to see you back in Peru, best James

I highly recommend using this site to plan your trip. It saves a lot of headache and hassle and definitely worth the extra free for some piece of mind. They picked really authentic places that were very high quality, but not crowded by typical tourists. The Lares Trek + Machu Picchu plan was a very good combination for us since it provided a nice challenge through the trek and an amazing experience with the historic world wonder. If you are hesitating, look no further for an easy to use method of booking your next trip.

Hi Sean, we are glad you enjoy your trip and that you found it easy to plan your trip with us and KimKim. It was our pleasure to help you.
You can always try KimKim for your next Adventure!!!
