My wife and I went on a day trip with Elistan to visit the mountains of the 7 colors on our honeymoon, everything went perfectly.
Elistan recommended that we get up very early so we could enjoy the mountains alone. He knew the area and the weather situation perfectly, so in the early morning he picked us up with a driver and a private car (for the 4 of us), he arrived 10 minutes before the start. hour to wait for us at the door, and gave us each a pillow, two blankets and two boxes with breakfast, so that we could sleep during the journey and have breakfast when we arrived at the destination.
Once there we had breakfast while it began to get light and we climbed following his advice on height and physical performance.
We enjoyed almost two hours of the mountains exclusively for ourselves and he explained many things to us.
Afterwards we went to eat at a restaurant that I knew, it was buffet style but of quality.
In the afternoon on the way to Cusco, he was explaining to us everything we wanted to know, and we stopped at a delicious bakery where we bought a loaf of chocolate-filled bread for 9 soles (€2.5) and they gave us bread and water.
Finally he dropped us off at the hotel.
It is highly recommended, it was like taking a trip with two friends, I hope we can return to Peru to repeat.
PS: he knows about photography, the photos I upload were taken by him.

Our decision to book our tours with Eli through Allyn Pacha was the best choice we have ever made while traveling. This decision made our entire experience in Peru absolutely unforgettable. From the beginning research phase, Eli was extremely responsive, answering any and all questions and offering suggestions to make the most of our itinerary and time in Peru. We (my fiance and I) ended up spending 6 days in total with Eli, touring the Sacred Valley, going on a city ruins tour around Cusco, and embarking on the 4-day Inca Trail to Machu Picchu. Eli is extremely knowledgable, funny, kind-hearted, and genuinely cares about offering amazing experiences. He has worked 20 years in the industry, and knows the ins and outs of not just history and site-seeing, but how to make experiences the most enjoyable for his guests.
The service Eli provided to us on the Inca Trail was above and beyond what we saw other companies offering. We signed up for a private tour, and Eli, his chef, and team of porters took excellent care of us. Porters play an important roll on the trail, carrying food, cooking materials, sleeping tents, eating tents, and anything used on the trail. They carry heavy bags daily to ensure the guests experience is nothing short of amazing. In other companies, it is known that porters are not always treated well, or compensated fairly. It was seen that Eli takes excellent care of his porters. He noted that he was once a porter, and understands how hard they work. He makes sure they feel like an equal part of the team. Multiple times throughout the trek, porters from other companies would greet and talk to Eli. Most porters work for more than one company at a time, and many asked Eli when they could come work for him next. This to me just proves how Eli's service is phenomenal not only for his guests, but his staff as well.
Before the trek, I had some nerves about how difficult it would be to complete. Eli provided me constant reassurance and explained how each day would look. We had plenty of breaks, and walked at a comfortable pace. Being just the two of us, we had complete control of our speed, and were able to slow down or speed up when needed. Additionally, Eli even helped my fiance in surprising me with a proposal at the Sun Gate! He kept the secret for the entire trek, and they secretly planned the proposal without me suspecting a thing. I cannot recommend Eli with Allyn Pacha enough. If you are looking for a small group, individualized experience, please give Allyn Pacha a chance. You will not be disappointed!

I can’t say enough great things about our experience with allyn pacha. My fiancé and I did the 4 day Spiritual lares trek + short Inca trail. Our guide, Elistan, was so knowledgeable about everything - plants, people, history of Peru and the Incan empire, and so much more. Each experience was so authentic and although the hike was challenging, Elistan and his crew made sure we always had everything we needed. Our chef was incredible…we ate better at 15k feet in a tent than at any nice restaurant in a city. It was truly incredible. Also, this company is 100% Peruvian owned, and they treat their crew very well (which isn’t always the case with some of the tour companies). Book with allyn pacha, you will not regret it!!

We had the absolute pleasure of meeting Eli from Allyn Pacha tours for our 9 day trip in Cusco Peru. Eli is extremely knowledgeable and so accommodating! He truly goes above and beyond for his travelers and assures you have a wonderful experience! He is excited to show you around and share his knowledge and secretes in order to miss the crowds and see incredible views. I cannot say enough how impressed I was with his hospitality. Our decision to book our tours with Eli through Allyn Pacha was the best choice we have ever made while traveling. This decision made our entire experience in Peru absolutely unforgettable. From the beginning research phase, Eli was extremely responsive, answering any and all questions and offering suggestions to make the most of our itinerary and time in Peru. During our trip my fiancé came down with altitude sickness and with no hesitation, Eli rushed over and nursed my fiancé back to health with his natural herb remedies. From start to finish Eli went above and beyond to continue to amaze us. Whether it be him nursing us back to health, surprising us with pillows and blankets for the car rides, making sure we were ok every step of our journey, and or being a phenomenal photographer, the list could go on and on. We are so thankful to have met Eli and to be in such great hands. Eli is extremely knowledgable, funny, kind-hearted, and genuinely cares about offering amazing experiences. He has worked 20+ years in the industry and knows the ins and outs of not just history and site-seeing’s, but how to make experiences the most enjoyable for his guests. I would 1000% recommend booking your Peru trip with Eli from Allyn Pacha. It’s never a goodbye, it’s see you later. Thank you Eli, until next time!

I'd heard about the Inca Trail, wanted to do it, but didn't have the four days needed for it...and then I stumbled across the one day option that Allyn Pacha offers, and I'm so glad that I did. The last 7.5 miles of the trek are stunning, and coming to Machu Picchu through the Sun Gate was nothing short of magical. Initially I'd been a little worried about being the only person on the trek...what if the guide was awkward and I was stuck with them ALL day?!...but Eli is the BEST. He's funny, sweet, engaging, and so knowledgable. Was able to answer every question I had, he is a wealth of information. We hiked on a day when there was a lot of mist, and he was like a mist ninja - knew exactly when and where to wait, for how long, so that I could see all the sights and get all the pictures that one dreams of when going on this journey. This is going to sound cheesy, but - it was truly an experience of a lifetime.

If you’re planning to go to Peru then stop looking for a tour guide and book your trip with Elistan at Allyn Pacha. My wife and I have traveled quite a bit throughout the US and several other countries. I don’t think we’ve ever come across anyone as kind and hospitable as Elistan. From the moment we met him it was very clear that his main goal was to make our trip as enjoyable as possible. We booked the four day Incan Trail with Elistan. The day before we departed for our hike on the Incan Trail we visited Rainbow Mountain, which was beautiful. It was a fairly long and bumpy drive to and from Rainbow Mountain but we thought it was worth it. Hiking the trail was pretty demanding physically for our group (3 couples in our late 30s to early 40s). Make sure you are in decent shape before you come. Elistan did a wonderful job of making sure we pushed ourselves, but kept us from pushing ourselves to the point of exhaustion. Each day of the hike was a bit different and the views we were rewarded with were amazing. Finishing the 4 day journey at Machu Pichu was the perfect way to end a once in a lifetime adventure. Elistan and his team of porters did a wonderful job keeping us comfortable at our campsites and kept our bellies full with delicious meals every day—it was really amazing the meals that they were able to prepare for us considering they had to haul all of our food and the camp kitchen on their backs every night. Elistan was already doing an amazing job of taking care of us but went even further above and beyond when my wife and I learned on the last night that our son, who was staying with grandparents back home in the USA, had developed appendicitis and needed emergency surgery. Elistan worked tirelessly that evening to help us find a way to get home faster and held our hands as we prayed for our son that night while he was in surgery thousands of miles away. Thankfully, our son did very well with surgery. With 4 wonderful grandparents and a team of friends back home watching over him we decided to go ahead and finish the hike. We spent our last day enjoying Machu Pichu, a wonderful lunch in Aguas Calientes and then a train and bus ride back to the beautiful city of Cuscos to rest and enjoy a hot shower (feels amazing after 4 days hiking on the trail) before heading home to the states. I would definitely rate Elistan and his team a 10/10 and would strongly encourage you to book your trip with him today before someone else does. It’s an experience few will be fortunate enough to have and one you will never forget.

We're especially touched by your kind words about Elistan. He truly goes above and beyond to make sure every guest has the best experience possible, and we're so glad you felt cared for throughout your journey. It’s wonderful to know that despite the unexpected news about your son, you were able to complete the hike and enjoy the beauty of Machu Picchu.
Thank you for trusting us with your adventure and for sharing such a heartfelt review. We hope to welcome you back to Peru someday for more incredible experiences!

Allyn Pacha delivered a world class experience for us as we hiked through the Andes and made our way to Machu Picchu. From the incredible meals to the good company, we felt we were in great hands for the entirety of our trek. I can’t recommend Elistan enough as a guide and his company enough for a tour. They truly made the experience one to remember.

Wow! If you want an unforgettable bucket list trip then book a trip with Allyn Pacha Peru Tours. I promise you won’t regret it. We did the Classic Inca Trail 4 day hike. The hike was challenging, but Elistan does such a phenomenal job of balancing hiking and break time. Now, let me tell you about the food. I was blown away with the gourmet meals they were able to prepare for us atop a mountain! Breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks in between were all SUCH a treat! I’m a shower loving girl and I was worried how I was going to make it 3 nights without a shower. The warm water and washcloths made me feel refreshed each day. That was a nice surprise! The views and beauty you experience at every turn on this hike cannot be captured by a photo! You truly must come to experience with your own eyes. Also, you MUST book with the best guide out there… Elistan at Allyn Pacha. We have made a lifelong friend in him. He and his family are world class. Book the trip! You won’t regret it!

Wow, I can't say enough great things about Allyn Pacha. Our guide, Elistan, was loaded with knowledge about the areas we visited, history, and culture. He was extremely fun to be around the couple days we toured the Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu. Had it not been for him, we would not have been able to visit Machu Picchu due to our last minute planning. I am beyond thankful for their expertise and guidance on this trip. I cannot wait to come back and explore more. Thank you!!
