Nos armo un itinerario que funcionó perfecto y no podriamos recomendarlo mas!Publicado en vicentetbg24 Mayo 2026Verificada Magia, energía y una organización de 10 con Illa Kuntur Nuestra ruta de 13 días por Perú (Lima, Puerto Maldonado, Cusco, Valle Sagrado, Machu Picchu y Puno) ha sido una de las experiencias más hermosas y enriquecedoras de nuestras vidas. La energía y la magia mística de esta tierra te atrapan desde el primer momento, pero lo que realmente ha marcado la diferencia ha sido la calidad humana y el servicio de Illa Kuntur Travel & Wellness. Queremos resaltar de manera muy especial la dedicación, el cariño y la absoluta profesionalidad de Ricardo Ticona y de todo su equipo (guías, transfers y coordinadores). La planificación y la organización han sido impecables, un auténtico relojito. Viajar con esa paz mental, sabiendo que cada detalle está perfectamente coordinado, nos permitió desconectar de las preocupaciones y conectar al 100% con la esencia y el espíritu de cada lugar. Nos hemos sentido cuidados, respetados y acompañados en todo momento. Si buscas descubrir el Perú profundo con el alma, pero con la tranquilidad de una organización perfecta, esta es la agencia ideal. ¡Los recomendaremos a familiares y amigos sin dudarlo! ¡Gracias por todo, Ricardo! Bendiciones y buenos caminos.Publicado en H J13 Mayo 2026Verificada 15 day Peru Tour Our tour in Peru with Ricardo and Illa Kuntur was truly unforgettable. From the moment we arrived, we felt completely at home. It was absolutely worth the price, and honestly the first time we experienced such hospitality, care, and attention from a travel agency. The entire 15 day trip of South Peru was unbelievable. We enjoyed an exciting buggy ride and sandboarding adventure, flew over the breathtaking Nazca Lines, visited beautiful cities, and explored incredible historical sites — not just Machu Picchu. Every part of the journey was well organized and full of amazing experiences. Ricardo and the Illa Kuntur team made sure everything was perfect and always made us feel comfortable and welcomed. We highly recommend them to anyone planning a trip to Peru. It was an experience we will never forget!Publicado en H J12 Mayo 2026Verificada Peru tour Ricardo and Illa Kuntur gave us the trip and experience of a lifetime. We completely fell in love with Peru. From the very beginning, they made us feel welcome and truly at home. The care and attention we received were unlike anything we had ever experienced from a travel agency. Ricardo’s level of commitment, kindness, and professionalism was unbelievable — he went above and beyond in every way to make sure our trip was perfect. Every activity was unforgettable. The buggy ride through the dunes and sandboarding were absolutely thrilling, the flight over the Nasca Lines was surreal, and of course Machu Picchu was breathtaking. We expected Machu Picchu to be the highlight of the trip, but what surprised us most was how many other incredible experiences exceeded our expectations and made the journey even more special. Everything was perfectly organized, stress-free, and offered at a very reasonable price for the quality and experiences we received. The value was truly outstanding. We are so grateful to Ricardo and the Illa Kuntur team for making this journey so amazing and unforgettable. Highly recommended!Publicado en Ursula L7 Mayo 2026Verificada Nuestra aventura en Cuzco Mi familia y yo fuimos a Cuzco por 5 días con ILLA KUNTUR Travel. Nuestra experiencia fue excelente.

From start to finish, every detail was perfectly organized, allowing us to fully immerse ourselves in the beauty and history of this incredible region. The Sacred Valley tour was breathtaking—stunning landscapes, fascinating cultural insights, and knowledgeable guides who truly brought the history of the Incas to life. Every stop felt meaningful and well-paced, giving us enough time to explore while still covering so much. Machu Picchu itself exceeded all expectations. Seeing it in person is an unforgettable experience, and our guide Pavel made it even more special with engaging explanations and a deep passion for the site. It felt like stepping into another world. The journey with PeruRail was equally impressive. The train ride was comfortable, scenic, and relaxing, with large windows offering spectacular views of the Andes the entire way. The service on board was excellent and added a touch of luxury to the whole experience. Overall, this was a once-in-a-lifetime adventure that I would highly recommend to anyone visiting Peru. Absolutely flawless and unforgettable!Publicado en Cielo C27 Febrero 2026Verificada Recomendado Bonita experiencia.
