Muchas gracias a todo el equipo de Aventuraquechua por habernos ayudado a cumplir nuestro sueño.
Hemos pasado 11 días maravillosos recorriendo la cordillera Huayhuash, la atención recibida, el mimo con el que habéis cuidado todos los detalles han hecho que un trekking "duro" se nos hiciese un paseo.
Gracias por todo

Our group used Aventura Quechua for a custom climbing and trekking trip of 11 days through the Vilcanota Range. Carlos and his crew covered every detail without fail. He handled everything from airport pick-up and Machu Picchu tickets to all of the logistics or a trek from Tinqui through to Pitumarca. Our cook, Domingo, surpassed the skill of all prior cooks we've hired over the course of 6 prior trips to the Andes. Arrieros Leo and Rocque covered every pack train need and many more tasks that just made the trip come together. Driver and facilitator John covered road transportation and miscellaneous needs on time, on route, and without a hitch, every time.
Simply said, Carlos and his crew met every logistical need and constructed a smooth custom trip, from airport pick-up to airport drop-off. I recommend him without reservation. For additional details as to our experience with Aventura Quechua please see the peru 2011 narrative at www.climbingwithbob.com.

Bonjour à toute l'équipe de Carlos (surtout sa maman adorable hôtesse de Mi Casa à Huaraz!)
Nous étions 4 pour ce séjour de 4 semaines au Pérou de juin à juillet 2010, 10 jours de tourisme ou de transfert de ville à ville et 18 jours de trekking. Le sud d'abord avec son surprenant et grandiose canyon de Colca avec ses ramasseurs de cochenille; une étape farniente sur le lac Titicaca avec l'hospitalité chaleureuse des habitants de l'Ile d'Aman Tani; puis le trek de Choquequiraw, véritable enchantement des yeux, visite d'un site Inca très peu connu des touristes car il n'est accessible qu'après 2 jours de marche et se situe à 3000 m d'altitude, dépaysement total dans ses immensités sauvages et les sommets majestueux de la cordillère Vilcabamba. Nous découvrons aussi le chaleureux accueil des péruviens qui sont prêts à tout pour nous satisfaire alors que leur vie est très rude. La fin du trek nous emmène dans la vallée de l'Urubamba qui a été dévastée par les pluies diluviennes du printemps; le Machu Pichu nous apparaît au lever du soleil pour nous dévoiler tous ses secrets. Retour à Cuzco, ville royale dont le rues ont conservés des murs incas et où l'architecture espagnole est dominante comme dans beaucoup de villes du Pérou. Départ pour Lima, puis Huaraz, départ de notre trek dans la cordillère blanche. Malgré la pluie, les magnifiques sommets glaciaires à 6000m comme l'Alpamayo nous ont émerveillés.
Grand bravo aux guides, à l'équipe des muletiers et des cuisiniers, à Suzanna et bien sûr à Carlos qui nous a accueilli dans ce pays magique. Je reviendrais et ne manquerais pas de faire appel à vous. Marie-Aimée
