For the second time, I've chosen the team at Unuraymi, and again, I've not been disappointed. James and Edwin are outstanding and cared for us above and beyond expectations. The whole walk and the navigating the process of acquiring tickets for Machu Picchu became a surprising, exciting part of the memorable experience. For anyone wishing to travel with confidence in a local team, James and Edwin are the way to go. Their connections are knowledgeable, kind, and willing to share their passion for their communities and cultures. We are blessed to be invited to encounter the people and nature in such a unique way. Thank you for everything, team! I will be back!
