A fun short walk - The transportation journey took a bit longer than expected as the place is quite far away. However, the hike is short and fun! At the end of the journey, the tour took us for pisco tasting but didn't force us to buy anything. It was a nice tour.

Incredible - I am pleased to take this opportunity to express my most sincere gratitude to the Machu Picchu Peru tours travel agency for making it possible for us to enjoy such an extraordinary experience as visiting the impressive Canyon of the Lost.

Great Hike - The ride took longer than we expected but the view is great! Our guide is caring and friendly. Although his English was limited, he tried to share info with us ahead of the tour to know more about the place. At the end, there is a Pisco tasting session which we found it interesting.

Worst Tour Ever - Went on their "Butt Buster" tour to the Lost Canyon. We rode in this rickety Toyota over all these bumps and it was awful. I got the worst seat in the van and my butt hurt so bad I couldn't sit down. Plus, my head hit the side of the van 3 times. Worst tour ever! This company is unprepared, doesn't plan out your tours, and doesn't care about their customers. We had 3 big issues with their tour, but the "Butt Buster" part was the worst. The other issues were: - Almost missing our bus back to Lima because the guides decided to do a random "Pisco" Tasting. - Not getting our bus tickets in time. - Not being told that I needed a physical passport to take the bus. I've traveled the world and used a photo of my passport to take buses everywhere else. - Dealing with an unprofessional guide in Huacachina to take the Sand Buggiest. Use a different tour company. Or, take the bus to Ica and book the tours and hotel individually. Machu Picchu Peru Tours sucks as a tour company.
