Peru Travel Review: Machu Picchu, Rainbow Mountains, Hiking, City Visit, 8 Nights

The trip was fantastic. Zicasso's travel expert was great at communicating during the whole process, arranging the trip to suit us and preparing us for the trip. They really went above and beyond to help us when one person in our group had medical issues prior to departing. The guide they arranged was one of the best guides we have had anywhere we have traveled. Peru is an amazing place to visit and Zicasso's travel company really made sure it was a spectacular trip. Thanks.
