What travelers are saying

"Thank you for diligently planning and coordinating my travels during a crazy time. I didn't think I would feel comfortable traveling internationally, but after going through it, I'm ready to go on my next trip abroad. The Argentinian side of Patagonia was spectacular and the weather and views to/from Fitz Roy completed my vision of the Patagonian mountains. Our group felt very accomplished. Ushuaia was a completely different environment, reminding me of San Francisco - cooler and with beautiful mountains. The team at Ushuaia (Jorge & Marcella) were super accommodating and they made my excursions more enjoyable. The other group participants were all local Argentinians and made me feel welcomed - I've made new friends along the way. I will definitely recommend Ushuaia to anyone traveling to the region. The hikes were equally challenging and the service they provided was excellent. It was a great way to end the trip! Thank you again for the adventures and I hope to see you again soon."

What travelers are saying

"I just returned from Aurora’s NW passage trip from Greenland to Nome Alaska. I wish to warn potential passengers that out of 26 sea days, we had 10 landings, out of which we were free to walk on our own once. The director,Ashley, told passengers on day one that if they disobeyed her, they would be confined to their cabin. When we got to Alaska, Aurora had not hired sufficient personnel with US licenses to allow for any landings. So we were 60 miles out at sea for almost a week and could not even see the shoreline. Much of the controlling behavior of Ashley was in the guise of safety from the polar bears, but her behavior was over the top. Also the head bear rifle guy, Nils, screamed at passengers on shore at the top of his lungs when they were a few feet off a poorly marked trail in a flat landscape with at least a mile visibility in all directions. He also screamed at passengers to rush over uneven ground because of a bear in the distance. This is just plain dangerous for 70 -80 year old passengers. I have traveled extensively, including an Antarctic cruise, and never had such an unpleasant experience. Even considered bailing out from Cambridge Bay partway through the cruise. Customers beware. You have been warned."

What travelers are saying

"The 4 day inca trail trek is an experience of a lifetime. We were lucky with the weather - cold in the early morning starts, but luckily no rain or snow. Certianly need to dress for all seasons as it does warm up during the day. The overnight stays in the tents were basic but with the nice touch of warm water delivered in the morning for a quick wake-up wash. So many stairs but worth it for the scenery..Thanks Action Peru Treks."

"I had an amazing time on the Costa Rica starter trip. This was my first time traveling solo and U30X was a great way for me to safely see another part of the world and meet new people. Our trip leaders were Adrian and Delphine; they were very knowledgeable and fun. It felt more like we were just hanging out with our friends who happened to know a lot about the country rather than following around tour guides."

Highlights

  • The Moonstone trek is a fantastic alternative trek to the classic Inca Trail. This is an isolated route with unexplored ruins, discovery at every turn great mountain views, and an excellent introduction to high Andes and local indigenous people.
  • The 5-day and 4-day trek starts in a quiet, rural valley between Cuzco and the Sacred Valley and finishes in Ollantaytambo. It passes through seldom-visited Andean villages, Inca and pre-Inca ruins, and heads onto a beautiful altiplano plateau surrounded by glaciated peaks.
  • Your 5-day adventure finishes with a visit and guided tour of the lost city of the Incas Machu Picchu.

Highlights

  • Ideal to avoid most of the other people on the classic Inca Trail. This is well after the hordes on the 4-day classic Inca Trail trek have departed very early in the morning, sometimes waiting in line for up to an hour to start the trek. Allowing them to clear out means you can hike and camp the whole trail in relative solitude away from the masses, as you’re always about half a day behind, and half a day in front of the people on the 4-day Classic Inca Trail trek.
  • This 5-day Inca Trail trek version is recommended for photographers, friends, and families with younger kids, this itinerary of the Inca Trail hike moves at a slightly slower pace. While following the same path as the classic 4-day trek, you will stop at quiet campsites to avoid crowds and have more time to enjoy the amazing ruins and scenery along the 28 miles. This 5 day Inca Trail trek also gives you a night at a nice and comfortable hotel in Aguas Calientes town so you can shower and clean up for a second visit to Machu Picchu on day 5 and have the opportunity to climb Huayna Picchu mountain after you have concluded your guided tour of the city.
