          Inca Jungle Trek to Machu Picchu!!
          A wonderful tour to Machu Picchu! We had the pleasure of being led by Vidal, who is the owner of this company. He is an excellent guide and friend who helped us organise all the details for our tour. We decided on the Inca Jungle Trail because this was a combination of different activities such as mountain biking, water rafting, hiking, and zip-lining. Vidal Expeditions did a great job providing us with what they had offered us. Pick up from the hotel on the first day; transportation, bike, and equipment were provided in good condition; raf and zip were very safe with professional instructors; our accommodations were always private and with a bathroom; food along the tour was varied and with local ingredients. All included services were provided during this tour: tickets, a guide, transportation, extra activities, and a train ticket. It was more than what I expected. Honestly, Vidal Expeditions offered great service during this four-day trip. Highly recommended!!

          Experience along the Inca Trail
          We had a wonderful time hiking along the Classic Inca Trail with our best guide, friend, and leader, Vidal, who made this trip a memorable experience for me. I had been part of a small group (5 people); it was the perfect size, and everyone in the group was of similar age. The agency organised everything for me, from the Machu Picchu ticket to the camping gear. I had included everything and was not worried about anything. Our guide came to meet with me at the hotel and provide me the entire details of what to expect about the trek. They collected me from my hotel on the first day; the transport was included, the guide, and a personal duffel bag with 7 kg was allowed the entire trek. Food was very tasty from beginning to end; they always prepared different varieties and cared about the dietary needs of someone in the group. I had my own personal tent for myself, which was great; drinks were included after the second day. The hike itself was pretty nice but challenging, especially the second day climbing up to 4,215 meters, but the views were worthwhile. The entire trail is completely steep going up and down with some slope sections, which makes it challenging for someone who feels vertigo; however, the views are incredible. That is why it is one of the best trails in the world. Recommend preparing properly for this trek due to the elevation, and physical condition can be challenging for someone who is not used to doing outdoor activities; packing smart also has great benefits. Honestly, I highly recommend hiking on this trail, and what a best way if you make a deal with Vidal Expeditions to organise your lifetime experience.

          Machu Picchu through the Inca Jungle
          The Inca Jungle Trail to Machu Picchu was one of my favorite tours in Cusco. From the beginning to the end, it was well organized, especially the guide, Urbano, making this an experience of a lifetime.  We took the full package, which includes the extra activities rafting and ziplining; these were very fun.  We did biking from the high altitude to the lush forest, where the landscapes changed drastically from dry and cold mountains to want and rainforest.  Rafting was great even for me, who doesn't know how to swim, but the guides were very professional.  Hiking for several hours in the forest was also great; it was not a very demanding hike due to the many stops on the way.  Zipline and Machu Picchu were great; we had the best guide with us who took incredible photos on the way and provided such great information.  Highly recommend this tour to everyone and get Urbano as your guide.

          The jungle tour was full of activities.
          We chose the Inca Jungle tour with TERRA QUECHUA and it was an excellent choice. From the exciting biking down the mountains to the rafting and ziplining adventures, every part of the trip was full of excitement and discovery. The jungle hike was an educational experience, with a guide who shared his knowledge of the local fauna and flora. We really enjoyed the natural hot springs, which allowed us to relax after days full of activities. The visit to Machu Picchu was the highlight of the trip, leaving us with unforgettable memories.

          Great 4 days around the Ausangate
          I went for the 4 days Ausangate with Rainbow Mountain with Vidal Expeditions, and things couldn't have gone better. Our guide Urbano was both patient and flexible when the weather turned bad or when we got too tired to cross 2 paths on day 2, but we still managed to stick to the original itinerary and see everything along the was. As a vegetarian, the food really stood out as they made sure I had protein at every meal. Quantities were also very generous. Everything was really well organised, and all the staff was always ready to help with little details.

          Great trekking experience
          I really wanted to do a four day Ausangate trek but was having trouble finding an agency that had a group I could join. I contacted Vidal Expeditions and they were able to find others to join so we could form a group. Customer service was excellent and responsive. The trek itself was also fabulous. Urbano is a fantastic guide encouraging me to take things at my own pace when the altitude was hitting me. He also shared knowledge about Quechq culture. The cook and horse man were also great and I felt like they took such good care of us. I highly recommend trekking with Vidal Expeditions

          Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu tour
          Wonderful experience exploring the highlights of Cusco. We have done the two days tour (Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu) with Urbano as our guide, he was very kind making of this trip one of the best experience. They been very professional from the pick up til the drop off, we visited Chinchero, Moray, Salt Mines and Ollantaytambo on the first day, then we visit Machu Picchu early in the morning before the large group arrive, this was great plan to avoid the crowds. Vidal Expeditions team have organized very well everything what they offered us during the booking. We highly appreciate what they did for us during these days spent in Cusco and Machu Picchu. Thank you again and definitely recommend it to everyone.

          Perfect guided Trek in all aspects
          The guided Trek in Ausangate was just amazing in all aspects. Started with a reliable and easy communication before the Trek, perfect and delicious food for every meal and unique insights and information about the local mountain lifestyle, Peruvian culture and flora&fauna. The provided equipment was in hood condition and kept me warm and dry in all conditions. Also the guiding itself was perfect. Definitely recommend to go with Vidal Expeditions!

          Perfect 2 day hiking trip to Ausangate
          I went on the short 2 day Ausangate Trek, and I can’t say enough positive things about my experience! I’ve done many guided hikes with other agencies, and I’ve never met a guide so passionate about their work, the mountains, and sharing their culture. My guide, Chino, was also a great photographer, helping with poses and capturing the memories from the weekend. The food was delicious, and I’m not sure how they were able to create such healthy and fun options in a tent. The sleeping gear was also good quality. This views are amazing in Ausungate, and it is well worth the walk. We got to see 12+ lakes, glaciers, alpacas, and several mountains. This is a nice option if you’re tight on time, and I wish I could’ve had more time to do the 5 day version with this agency :)

        I had incredible days in Cusco with the service of Vidal Expeditions, we were 2 people traveling around South America and in Cusco we contacted to Vidal the owner of Vidal Expeditions, he was very fast replying our emails to book the tours, we just manage the whole steps to book two tours, rock climbing and Jampa mountain climb, they gave us a reasonable price for us.
        When we arrived to Cusco they contacted us and our guide came to the hotel to provide us the briefing before each trip.
        Rock climbing was fun, I never had experience climbing in outdoor, however Alex our instructor made of this a good experience teaching us the basic gear, knots and techniques to get good perfomance on the rock. They also had good climbing gears, harnesses, ropes and whole things you need to be safe.

        The Jampa climbing was my favorite, we hike between some amazing lakes mostly green and turquoise, our guide was Chino who is very professional from the beginning to end, he always looked after us, and very good photographer, he loves his job specially the mountains, his knowledge about mountaineering is excellent, the most important for him is safety.
        After a few hours climbing the second day at the morning we reach the summit of 5520 meters and happy to be there as the first time.
        I am proud of myself to climb such high altitude. and happy to have Chino and Vidal Expeditions part of this experience. They are very serious when it is about safety and work with people life.

        I did a full day of rock climbing and it has been one of my favorite experiences since arriving in Peru over a month ago. Booking was easy through the website and communication was seamless over email and WhatsApp.

        As for the tour, I was very fortunate enough to have Vidal as the guide and he made the tour better than I ever could’ve imagined. He is just an incredibly kind, motivating, professional, easygoing, and funny human being.

        The first bit consisted of reviewing equipment and safety as well as learning knots. Then, he was kind enough to allow me to climb a wide variety of routes based on my level. The location and rock is beautiful without any approach required.

        I would highly recommend this experience and tour agency to anybody visiting Cusco, especially if you’re looking for more unique things to do like rock climbing. The price is beyond justified for all that is included and the care and coordination of the agency. Vidal and the people behind the organization are incredible, so please support them :)!

        I had an incredible day doing rock climbing in Cusco with Chino, he is really proffesional!!
        This is a pretty place upper part of Cusco easy going and very safe for eveyone who wants to learn about climbing activity, all the gears and equipment are very safe and climbing with Chino I felt safe in his hands...I am a person who only climb in indoors places and Vidal Expeditions where a great company where you can learn many many things about outdoor climbing since the basic climbing course and the different routes to try in their spot.

        If you have a day free in Cusco after some tours i highlight recommend to go with Vidal Expeditions for some outdoor activities, they always has something to offer you.

        If you decide for rock climbing ask for Urbano(Chino) who will provide you all the safety you need to enjoy this sport.

        Nice day doing some rock climbing with Vidal Expeditions, I had chance to had Vidal as my climbing partner. We went for a nice spot located little away from Cusco and he was really knowledgeable.
        He firstly has taught me the basic climbing course and learned about the knots, climbing equipment and types of climbing...Whole gears were really safe and recommend brand.
        They came to pick me up from my hotel in Cusco and drove to a climbing spot for 30 minutes, there Vidal provide me the safety talk and show me the climbing gears one by one, the same he taught me some first aid courses and rescues. Then we began with the knots and climb some easy routes at the rock.

        We also tried some advanced routes, it is really difficult because need to have some very well trained and some exercises to be on shape...I am sure I will return to try again these routes after train more.
        If you are going to do some outdoor activity in Cusco, ask for Vidal, he will teach you the best of Cusco.

        What a nice day doing Rock Climbing in Cusco with Vinerson, I had a free day in Cusco after visit Machu Picchu, so I decided to take a tour of climbing, after searching in google i found Vidal Expeditions and contact then for this tour. They were fast answering all my wuestion and took a tour of them, The next day in the morning Vinerson came to my hotel with his transport and drive to Cachimayo where they had a great spot for rock climbing, after 30 minutes drive we hike for 10 minutes and began our climbing, Vinerson is a excellent climbing instructor he taught me every single way (safety, climbing gears, routes, theniques, and some exercises) The route was different levels and great for beginners, We climbing about 3 hours in total, after tried many times the different routes we decide to back to Cusco.

        Overall the day climbing was great to learn many things about this extreme activity and if you have an excellent instructor with very patience for sure you will become a great climber, Thank you so much Vinerson and whole team of Vidal Expeditions to work with love teaching people about this kind of activities, I definitely recommend Vidal Expeditions to everyone.

        I did the rock climbing day tour with Chino who was my instructor, he was super professional from the beginning to end. He provide me some first aid course teaching me how to act incase someone suffers injury, the equipment were great and safe for this kind of activities, the climbing spot also is safe for beginners has different routes which you can try and see how is your skill. The tour was great they complied with what was offered one day before to book the tour. However i want to recommemd to bring your own climbing shoes some times they don't have the exactly size your are.
        overall whole trip was great and better with Chino.

        Chino is hands down the best guide in Cusco area. He is accommodating and willing to go out of his way to make things happen. I was a solo traveler and it is somewhat difficult to find a group for some activities but Chino was willing to organize a trip for just me. We did the full day rock climbing trip and he is very professional and made me feel safe during the process. The prices of Vital Expeditions are also very reasonable compared to other agencies. I also did Rainbow Mountain trip with Chino and it's around 1/3 of the price of other agencies. Considering Rainbow Mountain is a easy trek and only takes a day, you are mostly paying for transportation. I think Vidal's price is the most reasonable price out there. I 100% recommend this agency and Chino if you are looking for outdoor activities other than trekking, such as kayaking, rock climbing, mountain biking, etc,.

        We had planned a family rock climbing experience during our stay in Cusco and we had a great day at Salkantay Mountain, about 30 minutes away. (Not to be confused with Salkantay Trekking). Urbano was our guide, he is very knowledgeable and concerned for our safety. The gear was like new and in great shape (worth mentioning due to the safety associated with it) . As a travel advisor I would highly recommend this activity for my clients looking for something different and more adventurous. Precious experience is not required as your guide will go over a safety briefing before the climb, but recommended so you know what to expect.

        This was a great day of fun and challenging climbing. Our guide took the beginning to do some knot practice and then we started off with top rope and then lead climb as well. I got 8 climbs in and was very grateful for the experience.

        I had come in with climbing experience and got to do some lead climbing and sharpen some skills.

        Definitely recommend as it was fun and all very safe.

        Had a great day of top rope climbing with Urbano, who was professional and experienced. Both safety and vibes were strong! I was new to outdoor rock climbing so the explanations and routes were tailored appropriately with this in mind. We wrapped up at the crag slightly early so checked out a cave nearby. Would definitely recommend going with Urbano if you’re wanting to get outdoors around Cusco.
