Nuestras experiencias con Leidy fueron increíbles, paseamos por lugares muy lindos, interesantes, y ella nos contó sus historias y curiosidades, con su toque de humor. Visitamos Chinchero, Maras y Machu Pichu. Todo el grupo la pasó genial, lo recomiendo de verdad.

Con mi grupo de estudiantes elegimos a Terra Quechua Peru

Con mi grupo de estudiantes elegimos a Terra Quechua Peru para nuestro viaje a Arequipa y el Cañón del Colca. Visitamos el Monasterio de Santa Catalina, disfrutamos de la vista del Misti y vimos cóndores sobrevolando el cañón. La organización fue impecable y aprendimos mucho sobre la cultura y geografía del Perú.

Tuvimos una experiencia inolvidable en el tour Inca Jungle con Terra Quechua

La combinación de actividades al aire libre, como el ciclismo de montaña, la caminata por la selva, el rafting y la tirolesa, fue perfecta para nosotros. Cada actividad estuvo bien planificada y ejecutada con un alto nivel de seguridad. Las vistas panorámicas y la biodiversidad de la selva nos dejaron asombrados.
