    After Peru I went on to Uyuni, Bolivia to see the salt flats. View Peru was my tour company there as well. Once again, I had a private tour and my tour guides were awesome. So was lunch in the middle of the salt flats!! 

  • Joanne G
    Friends

    We had a once in a lifetime experience with View Peru!!! I can’t say enough good things and reflecting on the experience now, it still seems surreal. In addition to the epic experience of the hikes, scenery, and Machu Picchu, everything we needed, every little detail was thought of and then some. It was a luxury camping, and cultural experience that I highly, highly recommend and want to do again!
