SUPER - The tour with Mario was great. Being a small group of 6 people, we had plenty of time for explanations, questions, and photos.
Two of the participants did not speak Spanish very well. But thanks to Mario's expressive and gesticulated storytelling, it was an understandable experience for everyone: truly a Super-Mario.

Traveling to the sanctuary of Pachacamac - I want to highlight and deeply thank Mario, our guide, for the clear, warm and passionate way in which he explained every detail. It not only conveys knowledge, but also a true love and respect for the ancestors and for the history of ancestrality.
Hearing it was much more than a guided tour: it was connecting with living history, with the roots and with the courage of those who were before us. His stories move, teach and leave their mark.
Mario makes every word meaningful and every place soulful. Undoubtedly an unforgettable experience thanks to his dedication and his unique way of sharing history.
Fully recommended for those who seek not only to know, but to feel and deeply understand the essence of our ancestors.

Mario, the Magnificent! - Mario is a great guide. He is enthusiastic, knowledgeable and personable. The tour was well paced, and he frequently asked if we needed to rest while trekking up steep hills. And, he shared his wi-fi. It was great.
