Peru - Macaws & Machu Picchu

Pepe was one of the best local bird leaders I’ve come across in South America. He worked hard to make sure the trip ran smoothly and was a good organiser, was an outstanding birder and worked hard to make sure everyone got onto birds.

Pepe was an excellent guide who ensured that the needs of all of the group were met. Any problems were dealt with swiftly and efficiently.

Pepe Rojas was such a talented leader from my point of view he made an excellent itinerary perfect. This was the best Naturetrek holiday I have been on. All the local guides were of a very high calibre.

Having an overall interest in both the wildlife and culture of Peru, we especially enjoyed the Inca Trail and Machu Picchu. Nick and Juan ensured we had a fabulous and unforgettable experience. Please pass on our genuine thanks and best wishes.

This was a stunning holiday! The itinerary was excellently planned, enabling us to see a huge variety of habitats and their denizens – from desert to rainforest to cloud forest to the high Andes – a truly amazing panorama of a very diverse and rich country… Without hesitation I would say he (Pepe) is the best Naturetrek leader we have encountered so far. We felt privileged to have him as our guide.

This was a fabulous trip, greatly enhanced by the trip leader, Andy Smith, who had great energy, knowledge and enthusiasm.

The main holiday was wonderful and we were among the lucky few in place when the bear appeared. The extension worked like clockwork and everything was perfect. The Inca Tours guides were really helpful and the MP guide also knew the bird species! The Inkaterra hotel was also excellent. We particularly like the mix of wildlife and cultural attractions. Thank you for all your help in organising this. Andy Smith was a very knowledgeable and helpful leader.

Jose Antonio was an excellent leader. His range of knowledge, his helpfulness, his professionalism and organisational skills married with obvious enthusiasm and friendliness really made this a wonderful overall experience. He was ably assisted by other local guides who were also excellent. Some fantastic birding, a fascinating country and all topped off with the Inca Trail on a trip that felt like three separate fantastic holidays (coast, Amazon basin and Inca Trail).

Jose Antonio’s enthusiasm, good humour and in-depth knowledge about the birds, the wildlife and his country as a whole contributed enormously to my enjoyment of the trip. The local guides were also outstanding. For example, one of our local guides on the Inca Trail was both an archaeologist and a first-class mountain guide. Who could ask for anything better? The great variety was the main benefit of the holiday for me. Although I enjoy the birds, my interests are much more general. That is why I chose this holiday and it did not disappoint. We saw a lot of beautiful birds, but I was also able to enjoy the country as a whole. This was largely due to Jose Antonio, who was happy to talk about his country as well as the wildlife. It was also because ALL the local guides spoke such excellent English and were so knowledgeable. We were able to get to know them as people and enjoy their company as well as benefit from their expertise. We were very well looked after at every stage, including the trek.

The itinerary was well planned with the three different focus areas. I particularly enjoyed the jungle section during which the local guides were able to give us a lot of insight into living in such a fascinating area. I also enjoyed the Inca Trail and I thought all the logistics were well planned.
