My family and I did the full day Rainbow Mountain Hike. Kusa Treks provided us with 5 people to accompany us on our hike. They are 5 of the most genuine people I have ever met. The hike was phenomenal. Freshly prepared breakfast and lunch was provided (and was very delicious). Everything we needed, and even things we didn't know we needed, were provided by Kusa Treks for this hike. Kusa Treks made our trip very stress-free and enjoyable and I HIGHLY recommend this company and hike to anyone that is considering visiting Peru.

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.
