We just returned from a trip to Peru (Machu Picchu and the Sacred Valley). Sometimes using the internet to book a trip like this can be risky. In this case, Global Basecamps GREATLY exceeded our expectations. The local guide service that they booked us through was fabulous. When we booked the trip, the cost seemed very reasonable for what we expected. In actual fact, we almost felt a little decadent for how we were treated. We just had three of us in our group but we ended up with a total of 7 porters (1 head porter and 6 porters), a chef (who was amazing!) and a guide. The guide was fluent in English, Spanish and Quechua so communication was completely easy. He advised us every step of the way but made sure to tailor his advice to the specific interests we had. This was truly a trip of a lifetime and we owe a huge debt of thanks to Global Basecamps and InkaNaturaTrails (the company Global booked us with in Peru). I would not hesitate an instant to use Global Basecamps again.
