We had an amazing experience with Peru Hop! The pickup was smooth and hassle-free, and the bus was incredibly comfortable and kept nice and cool throughout the trip. Our guide, Anayeli, did a fantastic job keeping our group of 47 organized, punctual, and on schedule. The boat ride was enjoyable! We wished we could have seen more penguins, but it was still a great experience. Lunch was also really good. The highlight of the trip was definitely the dune buggies! Racing through the desert, going up and down massive dunes, was an absolute blast. Sandboarding down the steep hills was exhilarating and made the experience even more memorable. Overall, Peru Hop did a great job organizing everything and making the day fun and stress-free. **Definitely recommend Peru Hop to anyone looking for an adventure in Peru!**
