“It really exceeded all expectations, we could not imagine how successful the choice was, it was a trip organized by Mystery Peru, very well executed without any complaints from its guides and driver who took us from Lima to Nazca passing through Pachacamac ruins and its activities all included, Just like in Huacachina, and of course the Nazca lines with an overflight. It should be noted that before the flight, Enrique gave us a masterful talk at his Lodge about what we would see on the flight and that made the visit much more useful, a very good experience!”
M. Kairey / Brooklyn NY.
Peru is an incredibly beautiful and interesting country, one that you need to visit several times. On my most recent trip to Peru I booked a 2-day, 1-night excursion with Mystery Peru. All arrangements were made on-line and via e-mail from USA.
We had a wonderful experience with Mystery Peru on a 2-day trip from Lima to Nazca. They praised prompt communication, clean accommodations, and friendly staff. Highlights included visiting Pachacamac Ruins, sampling Pisco at a winery, thrilling dune buggy rides, and a mesmerizing flight over the Nazca Lines.
