“We had a great experience with Peru Baby Llama! I received a long detailed message prior detailing what to expect and this was again reviewed with the entire group once we started.

“This daytrip with David to the Colca-canyon was amazing. David told is lots of interesting facts of the places, it was worth to ask him questions since he used to live in the mountains. The only thing we didn’t like is that on the way back we needed to be hurry because of one person who has to reach her airplane. We didn’t find it fair since no one asked the group about it and the whole group had to adapt to one single person. All together I really recommend this trip to everyone who only has 1 day for the Colca Canyon.”
