I can't speak highly enough about the team from Say Hue Que in Buenos Aires, Micaela, Mila and Camilla. You ladies are fantastic. You made our trip from planning to execution to emergency hospital visit run so smoothly. You also linked us up with some amazing guides, in particular Carlos from Condor Travel in Peru, who was with us for six days, including four days walking the Inca Trail. His knowledge of Incan history, flora and fauna was exceptional. And a huge shout to our chef, Wilbur and his team of porters who made it possible for us to complete the Inca Trail. Who thought we could eat restaurant quality food in the middle of the Andes, miles from anywhere. You always had smiles on your faces and your speed and agility on the trail was mind blowing.
Lake Titicaca was also a beautiful place, but more than the floating reed islands of Uros, which were fascinating. Our guide, Abad, also from Condor Travel, lead us for two days hiking Taquile Island, cycling the Luquina Peninsula and kayaking along the coast of the lake. He helped us create memories of a lifetime!
Our guides in Buenos Aires and Iguazu Falls also did a good job but as we had small group tours (we had private tours in Peru) we didn't get to know them so well.
Activity Reviews
Our guide Abad made the two days a memorable experience. Viewing the lake from different perspectives gives Lake Titicaca more life. Everyone goes to see the Uros Islands, the floating reed islands, which are incredible, as are the people who live on them. But Lake Titicaca at 4000m, is more than that and to experience it hiking, cycling and kayaking is a great experience as you get to see different perspectives of the region. The home stay was also great to do.
I'd rate it 10 star if I could. Carlos Z our guide was superb as were Wilbur, our chef, and his team of porters.
This kayak on Laguna Puiray was excellent. The guide supplied us with quality kayaks as well as good quality wetsuits and booties. We explored the lake and heard about the history and geography of the area. The picnic lunch was far more than a picnic. It was an amazing spread of local dishes prepared on site just for us. A great day out. Highly recommend the adventure.
Rainbow Mountain is beautiful as is Red Valley. A must see natural phenomena.
A good overview of Buenos Aires. Our guide was knowledgeable and interesting. We learned a lot about buenos Aires in the 4 hours with him.
The night was marred by it taking 75 minutes to get there as we were the first to be picked up and others weren't in the lobby on time, so we did a lot of waiting, and then 50 minutes to get home as we were the last to be dropped off. Mu husband then got sick afterwards (he never gets sick)
A great day out. The falls are immense and spectacular, with so many different vantage points. Plenty of time to walk the trails and take loads of photos.
So much fun. worth the money for the experience. Well organized.
The Brazillian side of the falls gives you a totally different perspective and so worth doing.
