KUNTUR PERU

  If you want a more personalised experience trekking the Inca trail, go with Ruben!

I was recommended to get in touch with Ruben by a friend and am... read more so thankful my husband and I decided to go ahead with Kuntur Peru. Ruben loves storytelling and is very passionate about Incas and history so you'll learn a lot and have fun at the same time. Aside from this he also offers a more boutique service so while you'll notice a few large operators on the trek have 10-16 people in each group, Ruben took just us two and generally takes groups no larger than six to eight people. The benefits of this are that you can travel at your own pace and enjoy some peace and quiet. You won't have to wait for others in your group who may not be as fit or aren't coping with the altitude as well giving you ample time to enjoy all the Inca ruins along the way.

The meals were also simply incredible and varied. I had no idea cooking could be so creative and gourmet when camping!

Thanks for an incredible experience Ruben!

  Thank you Ruben and team for the great time at Machu Picchu!! We had an amazing time and Ruben was a great guide. He told us enthousiastic about the Inca's... read more and it was very interesting to be in such a beautiful place. The chef prepared the most deliciuos meals and there was more than enough food for everybody. It was really the best tour ever!!

  I have been to Peru a few times now, including the famous Inca Trails in Cusco. And have had great experiences. But this was a special trip. 2016 was a... read more hard year for our family, especially my mother. Her mother (my grandmother) had passed in the spring, and my father had suddenly passed as the year ended. I wanted to treat my mother to a trip to get away for awhile. And I thought of the beautiful sites and delicious foods of Peru. My mother was hesitant, as she had never been to South America before. (Actually, the question was "Why can't we go to Paris??") But after some coaxing, off we went. Ruben, who took care of us during the trip, was amazing and attentive. He took special care in the itinerary to make sure my 67 yr old mother can enjoy the tour at a comfortable pace and explained everything in wonderful detail. He is an excellent storyteller and made us laugh. It was nice to see my mother enjoying herself.

When I came down with altitude sickness (I didn't have the time to get my prescription of diamox and I stupidly thought I may be ok since I have been in Cusco before. How wrong I was!) Ruben ran to the pharmacy and got the acetazolamide for me and delivered it to the hotel. (Note: It worked fine for me but please purchase at your own discretion.) We spent 5D/4N, first walking around the beautiful city of Cusco, then a day around the Sacred Valley. We spent the night at Ollantaytambo, which was nice since we were able to wake up leisurely and was a short walk away from our train to the climax of our trip: Machu Picchu!

The hotels booked for us were clean and the staff friendly (and included free wifi and breakfast!). Our driver, David, was really sweet. By the end of the trip, my mother went from "Why not Paris??" to wanting to come back and do the Nazca Lines next.

Thank you Ruben for everything.

  Ruben is one of the best guides I have ever seen. He made sure everything was according to our needs and wishes. We had a perfect lunch at Inca Trail... read more while all the others were having sandwiches. He was friendly and funny. He even helped us organize other tours outside of Peru and took care of everything we needed even after we left. He will do anything to make your travels enjoyable....
