    This shop was amazing. The artists were super friendly and very talented. Love my new tattoo to commemorate my trip to Peru.

    We have just completed a two week visit to Peru organised by Cultura Viva Peru. The trip included a week in Bolivia inserted into the middle and most tours were private.

    Transfers. There were many for this trip as we were in and out of locations frequently either via road, boat or air. On the whole transfers were seamlessly integrated with each other. Of particular note was the day we were entering Bolivia. Towards the border, two sections of road were being upgraded which required the road to be closed for two hours in each location. Our driver found a detour for the first road closure, saving us a huge amount of time. Unfortunately, the second road closure was the last two or so kilometres from the Bolivia border so we had to get out of the car and walk. Our guide assisted with the luggage and arranged to have two trikes available for us at the end of the roadworks to ferry us to the border. Brilliant service and coordination with the Bolivian agents.

    The tours were all first class. Guides were knowledgeable, the subject matter interesting and drivers were adept at getting us around safely. If you haven’t been to Peru, it’s time to start thinking about it. Incredible scenery, good food and of course Pisco Sour make it a fine destination…just be prepared for the altitude.

    We also threw a few curve balls at the agency. Both of us came down sick at one point and they advised us on finding a doctor and then continued to check in on us throughout the journey. There was one tour we decided to cancel (Rainbow Mountain) and without any expectation from our side, the company offered us an option of using a driver to do a half day self guided tour for no extra cost. This type of service is above and beyond anything we had expected which is why we have no hesitation in recommending Cultura Viva Peru Chay to anyone visiting Peru.

    Made a last minute booking with Carlos, we were worried that we wouldn’t get the proper circuit for Machu Picchu because everything was last minute. But Carlos and his team made it happen. The tour was amazing, from the pick ups to the very end. Everything was so smooth and the team helped us every step of the way. Machu Picchu guide was amazing, informative and gave us tons of time for photos and to admire the scenery.
    We did the 2 day tour(highly recommend this one) and the hotel they put us in was perfect. Our trip to Machu Picchu was amazing because of this group. Thank you!

    Aula Artesana's one day weaving workshop is the hidden gem of the Cusco region. Whether you are a professional weaver, crafter, novice or just someone enthusiastic about art and culture, you will enjoy this workshop. My husband and I spent 15 days in Peru, hiking the Inca Trail, sand-boarding in Huacachina, wildlife viewing in Tambopata, and we both agree that the one day we spent with Aula in Patcancha was the highlight of our trip. Even with the language barrier, we felt so welcome and at home with the community. It was the most authentic experience of our trip and we feel so grateful to have been able to witness and learn the process of traditional textile making from the locals. We not only brought home our own tapestries that we made (with assistance) but also 3 pieces from the community which we will cherish forever. Being able to purchase these items directly from the women who made them felt 1000x better than purchasing anything from any of the surrounding markets.

    Shout out to Sonya, the owner of Aula who will also be your amazing guide/translator and her lovely dog. I wish we could have spent more time with Aula in Patacancha.

    This has been an excellent experience all around. During the design of the tour, the owner and the agents listened fully and custom created a package that met my needs and wants.

    During the trip every detail was well planned and executed. The guides, the drivers and the agents were all friendly, attentive and exceeded my expectations.

    It is so important to choose an expert agency such as Tucano that knows Peru inside out and designs and executes trips and tours in such an exceptional way.

    I am very thankful to the owner, the agents, the guides, the drivers and everyone who worked tirelessly to make this such a formidable and unforgettable experience.

    Highly recommended!

    Personal Travel Experience is a one-of-a-kind tourist agency in Cusco. Silvia Uscamaita, one of the founders, is a leader in the tourism sector of Cusco and the Sacred Valley and is all about upholding the social responsibility that tourism holds to giving back to the people of the local communities. She's the real deal!! I highly recommend a visit with her if you want a unique experience of the region. I was there with my two young sons in April and May 2019, and we had some experiences in upper Huilloc, a small village at 3,800m that were truly authentic and engaging. We met local people, shared a meal, danced, and learned about their natural weaving techniques. Sure, you can find this anywhere on a standard tour package from many Cusco agencies - they're a dime a doze - but they feel so contrived. This was an amazing travel experience that was really beneficial for all!
