What can I say about Conquer Peru. The trip was super organized. Matilde is a true professional. Always making sure we were taking care of. We were picked up on time, and I always felt I had them watching making sure I got to places ok. I will use Matilde again for any future adventures.

This was a spure-of-the-moment trip for me, and my first trip with Matilde. I have to say that I was beyond impressed with the whole trip! Matilde and her team are Very professional! So easy to work with and so much fun! Our group was perfectly matched. Every thing was arranged to our best interests and we never felt like being a tour, it was more like visiting a host family. I'm going to go back again next year! Thank you Conqure Peru for the memories of a life time.
