“What a fun day! David and Gabriel made our zip lining and rafting trip an awesome experience! They were puntual in picking us up from our hotel in Cusco and transportation was great! Zip lining was first and it was a blast (and very safe 😄)! David and Gabriel were thorough with the safety instructions and ensured we felt safe throughout the adventure. The commands were easy to follow and although we got to level 3+ rapids, no one fell out. Well, unintentionally that is. LOL We even stopped along the way to jump off a rock into the very cold water. Believe or not, the cold temps didn’t bother…”

“Really enjoyed the Adventure Hike, lots of pros with only a few cons, see below breakdown of the 4 days (I travelled early June 2024), some tips and a packing list of what to take. Day 1, Bike and Raft: Bike was great fun, very easy/beginner friendly as mostly downhill but get to pick up some speed while catching the views. Rafting was excellent with a few decent rapids. Accommodation was terrible, very basic shared hostel with only cold water shower (not ideal after rafting), food was average but didn't go hungry. Day 2, Hike: I'd class myself intermediate hiker and I found it pretty easy, there's a few hills…”

You begin with one group which covers the ATV trip, Moray, and Maras. Our guide, Floyd, was amazing, and he gave us a super fun ATV ride AND amazingly detailed and insightful notes on the history behind the historical sites.
