Great option to visit the south of Peru - Great experience: culture, gastronomy, adventure... has everything. I wish I had had the time to do one of the longer tours. Special mention for Angela for her great customer service throughout the excursion and even helping me with an emergency already near the end. Six stars for her.

The best way to experience Peru is Peru Hop. - My family had the best time Peru hop to extent that my 10 year old twins were very sad when finished our journey with them. I especially want to thank Jose and Julio who made our trip memorable! They catered to all passengers from those wanted to party to those with families! Just great hospitality all around! I can only imagine all the logistics with so many people and Peru hop delivered! Thanks guys!!

Boris!!!! - Boris was great!!! We only first met him for the ride back to Lima from Huacachina but he has a lot of energy and enough one liners to make the 3+ hour ride seem like a stroll around the block.

Better than expected large tour - To start: I hate large tours, I will 99% pay extra for private tours, but this was nice The islands were surprisingly cool! Bus was solid, AC was nice. If you stop at Paracas I highly dont recommend the coffee there. It tasted like it was made with salt water. I also was not the biggest fan of the buffet. For the boat tour If you like birds or bird photography a 70-200mm will do you just fine. The Inca Terns were sooo cool!! In Huacachina i suggest getting food at the Banana hostel. We ate there 3 times, 2 dinner and 1 breakfast. It was FIRE. I loved the Caramalized Burger, i added pineapple and Avocado. I would also recommend booking accommodation at Banana Hostel, Wild Rover did not have AC and is pretty loud most of the time. Banana was booked but so I ended up staying at DM Hoteles, AC was nice but everything else was mid. For the dune buggy I went with a 4 other friends, all 6’. The buggies seat 10 people, so we thought it would be rough if it was full. In all honesty it really was not that bad. Even with the full 10seats taken up. I highly recommend sun glasses, or eye protection in general, I didnt have them and my eyes were getting dominated. We wanted to drive initially but after the tour we are glad we didnt, the drivers are crazy but safe! Definitely an awesome time. Wine tour was not my thing personally. I dont think it was necessary, Im not a fan of Pisco, but if you are you’ll enjoy it. GET UP FOR SUNRISE. Go hike to the top of one of the dunes and enjoy the view. If you fly drones this is the best time! Much better than sunset!
