Can’t wait to return to South America and plan another vacation with Kuoda Travel! We just had a perfect vacation to Peru (May 2017). They are an excellent tour company dedicated to providing the traveler with specialized and optimal experiences while supporting the local community. If you don’t know exactly what you want to see and do, they have pre-planned itineraries to choose from.But if you have significant interest in something, as we did, they can design a personalized trip with your interests in mind — no group tour company can provide the personalized service that they do. Jesus designed a great 16-day tour focusing on Incan and pre-Incan cultures in and around Lima, the Sacred Valley, Machu Picchu, and Cusco.

We had excellent guides, Bart in Lima and Holger in the Andes. My husband and I have different physical abilities. I have a fear of heights and Holger optimized the hiking experiences for each of us. His knowledge of history, politics, and Quechua-speaking cultures was exceptional. The entire experience was as we requested and above expectations. All of the drivers were wonderful and the support team was reassuring and attentive. Kuoda took care of all the hassles of planning a trip as well as the difficulties of navigating in a country when you can’t speak the language. Mery, the founder of Kuoda, adds her personal touch to an awesome experience.
