Quechuas Expeditions Reviews 

I booked a 4-day Amazon forest trip through them, but unfortunately it was not what I expected. It felt like 4 days of vacation wasted.

We stayed in a forest lodge that was only about one hour from the city, so it didn’t really feel like the Amazon rainforest. It was close to towns and villages, and most of the tours were just short walks around the lodge—morning and evening—with a guide. To me, it felt quite underwhelming and disappointing.

We also had two excursions: Monkey Island and a butterfly place. Both were disappointing. Monkey Island was just a small rescue center where a few monkeys are kept—you basically see them like in a zoo. The butterfly place was like a small school project, with a tiny greenhouse where maybe 4–5 butterflies were flying around in a very small space.

The lodge was all-inclusive. Breakfast was mostly omelets and basic coffee—surprisingly something like Arabic coffee, even though we were in the Amazon. I would have preferred local Peruvian organic coffee. Lunch and dinner were mainly chicken and fish. The food tasted good, but it didn’t feel very local. I asked them to serve local food one day, and they did—that was actually one of the few highlights.

The only time I really enjoyed the trip was during a boat tour on the lake, which was beautiful.

The tour guide had poor English and talked too much, often very loudly, which made it hard to relax and enjoy the experience.

Overall, this was not the Amazon experience I was hoping for. I would instead recommend going to Iquitos, staying at a proper forest lodge, and experiencing a more authentic Amazon lifestyle. Don’t buy this kind of packaged tour.

I decided to celebrate my birthday in Cusco so i book the Classic Inca Trail tour with Quechuas Expeditions and it was the perfect choice! From day one, everything was smooth and well organized, the team was punctual, friendly, and always attentive to the little details that make a big difference.

The views were breathtaking, but what truly made the experience unique was how connected I felt to the history and spirit of the Andes. Sleeping under the stars and reaching the Sun Gate at sunrise to see Machu Picchu appear through the mist. Thank you Quechuas Expeditions, for giving me a birthday I’ll always remember!

We had a great time on our salkantay trek.

Our guide Jose was very knowledgeable and was able to give us good information throughout the 5 day trek. Especially at machu picchu.

The domes we stayed in throughout the trek were well kept clean and confortable.

The chef for our trip made great food also.

They did it again. This trip was very special for me since it was the first time I was taking my daughter visit Machu Picchu. Decided that my tour operator would be QE. Everything was on point. Airport pick up, hotel stay, Inti Raymi, Vinicunca (7 color mountain), Inca trail and Machu Picchu. The set up was definitely there. They even took us to Saqsaywaman, not near the citadel, and experience a traditional feast where we ate Huatia. A special way to cook food above ground from clods of earth. Really impressing. And this folks, is what I'm talking about, experience something that is not common. No tourists were present on this site. With this, I can say QE has an original view on experience and this separates them from the other operators. This is my third time with QE and I'm glad I trust them with my adventures in Peru. If you want a new experience with on point customer service, Quechuas Expeditions is the operator you're looking for, without a doubt. Thank you Wistman and Dina!
