One of the best tours I have ever been on. Our guide made this a trip of a lifetime. His knowledge and passion for the Inca culture is amazing. He is really patient and makes sure the entire group is well taken care of. Another great feature of Kusa Treks is how great they treat their porters/staff. You could tell that they really care about the community and the locals in that area. The food was also top notch! The courses were plentiful and also amazingly decorated/garnished. I did a lot of research before this trip and Kusa Treks blew away all my expectations.

What make a great yacht lies beneath the core concept. It should be solid and, at the same time, light. We work closely with the engineering team and finally get the perfect combination. This yacht is the gems we all are looking forward to.
