Cochahuasi Animal Sanctuary Tickets and Tours

Two Days Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu Adventure Private Tour

Highly recommending South Adventure Peru Tours for your visit in Peru

Ruben and Tatiana (owner operators of South Adventure Peru Tours) are the pinnacle of professionalism and of caring about the customer's experience; you simply won't find anyone better in this field in the Cusco region or beyond. Their attention to detail is impeccable, they keep their customers in the know with ample and very responsive communication, and with full preparedness. E.g. we received the planned route prior to our arrival, and the details included a clear description of what to expect (what time we would be picked up, what activities to expect for the day, what's included and not included in the program, when we would be back in the hotel, etc.) This was a major stress relief as we knew how to prepare for the trip (we took the combined, two-week itinerary that included Cusco, Machu Picchu, Sacred Valley, Rainbow Mountain, Puno, Lake Titicaca, Nazca, and Lima). Ruben and Tati took care of all the hotel reservations, transportation needs, admission tickets, and arranged for local guides whom they hand-selected and evaluated themselves. Once the trip was underway, they checked with us at the beginning and at the end of every day, making sure that the pickup driver was on time, the guide was up to our expectations, and if there were any contingencies that they would need to react to. If we had any questions, we could count on their quick-turnaround answers and recommendations, be it for restaurants or local events, etc. On the days when there were multiple transportation methods in the plan, we received a personalized packet of bus tickets, train tickets, admission tickets, etc. in sequence, and Ruben took the time to walk us through every detail in advance, just to make sure we were in the clear. They were knowledgeable about local conditions and were flexible to meet unforeseeable challenges, like bus routes starting earlier due to road construction. I have never seen anyone so organized in a world that can be so chaotic and fast-paced for the customer, they provided the calm and grounding touch. This left us free to concentrate on the actual experience because we could trust that the nitty-gritty details are all thought of, and are taken care of, by Ruben and Tatiana. In summary, we couldn't have asked for a better trip organizer and operator - we are very happy with their services and we left having made new friends in Peru. We picked them out of hundreds of competitors in the Cusco region based on a friend's recommendation, and having just returned from our trip, now we can see how they earned such high opinion. I highly recommend South Adventure Peru Tours to anyone who likes to have all the travel details taken care of in a professional and thorough manner, no matter where they travel in the beautiful country of Peru.

Voluntering at the Cochahuasi Sanctuary

A wonderful opportunity to do some good with wonderful people

This was amazing! There were only a couple reviews so I was a bit unsure, but definitely why I wanted to leave one. If you love animals and don’t mind getting a little dirty, this is great! The sanctuary is doing lovely work, and will tell you the stories of the different animals they’ve rescued. The stories are heartbreaking. It is so uplifting to know they are now with people who care for them, and some of them may even be released with rehabilitation. Even though I was only able to volunteer for one day, I had far more contact with the animals than I expected. It was lovely to also meet other volunteers who were there on a longer basis. The transport was easy and the people were incredibly friendly. I loved it! I absolutely recommend it.

The guide is an excellent person and it is amazing the care they give to the animals, you can feel the connection between the animals and the guides. Very nice experience
