“Really enjoyed the Adventure Hike, lots of pros with only a few cons, see below breakdown of the 4 days (I travelled early June 2024), some tips and a packing list of what to take. Day 1, Bike and Raft: Bike was great fun, very easy/beginner friendly as mostly downhill but get to pick up some speed while catching the views. Rafting was excellent with a few decent rapids. Accommodation was terrible, very basic shared hostel with only cold water shower (not ideal after rafting), food was average but didn't go hungry. Day 2, Hike: I'd class myself intermediate hiker and I found it pretty easy, there's a few hills…”

“So, this probably didn’t have a ton of reviews yet because it’s technically two separate tours - BUT they’re both awesome, and as long as you’re OK going with the flow, it’ll be a wonderful way to see some of the amazing elements of the Sacred Valley and Moray! You begin with one group which covers the ATV trip, Moray, and Maras. Our guide, Floyd, was amazing, and he gave us a super fun ATV ride AND amazingly detailed and insightful notes on the history behind the historical sites.
