Client Testimonials
Posted on Richard7Verified Vilcabamba Trek and Ausangate Trek My wife and I went with Colonia Adventures on the Vilcabamba and the Ausangate Treks along with a group of Australian friends. The scenery on both walks was spectacular. We had never been to Peru before and were a bit apprehensive about the high altitudes and Ausangate's hard rating. However, Gilf from Colonia organised every detail meticulously and we were looked after very well. Both treks are uncrowded, so we were able to enjoy spacious campsites and crowd-free paths. Our equipment and personal gear was carried on mules and horses, so we only carried light daypacks. If we felt unwell or tired, we could ride a horse. We were based in Cuzco between walks, which is a long way from Huaraz, but we had a local guide on both walks as well as a team of local helpers who were very helpful and friendly. The food was freshly made each day and very good.Posted on Mario Luis Canessa ZinhoblVerified No los conozco Es un operador posiblemente de lso nuevos, antes (el siglo pasado) eramos muy pocos, no había mucho turismo en la zona. No puedo opinar al no conocerlosPosted on Surfergirl1911Verified Wonderful company I didn't actually hike with Colonia Adventures, but met the owners as I was staying at their hostel. Maruja and Gilf are both absolutely lovely, and I really appreciated that Gilf shared so much information about the area and trails despite the fact I arrived booked for a trek with another company. Gilf gave me great advice about the weather, (he had just returned from a trip and warned it would be cold and wet), gave me advice on managing being unwell (I had a cold the day before starting out on the trek), and last-minute let me rent a daypack when I realized the one I brought was too small. I also appreciated hearing about how they manage safety while trekking in the area - there are quite a few local companies that have absolutely no plan to tackle it if something goes wrong or someone needs evacuation in the middle of the trek - Colonia seems to take that very seriously. While I haven't actually trekked with Colonia yet, I will absolutely reach out to them the next time I am in Huaraz. (And would highly recommend their hostel as a place to stay. It was lovely!)Posted on MaartenmarjonVerified Prachtige toch Mooie tocht, wel zwaar maar kadootje bij aankomst was het zeker waard. Prachtig Laguna met azuurblauw helder water. Top!Posted on neilwh2016Verified Excellent trekking A nine day trek being Alpamayo - Santa Cruz followed by nine days in the Huayhaush with Colonia was just first class. An excellent guide, really good equipment, great food and ethical treatment of the animals made every aspect of the trip really enjoyable. Highly recommendedPosted on GINO PAOLO SVerified SERVICIO RECOMENDADO El servicio que brindan es de primera ya que dan buen trato al turista nacional e internacional, ni que hablar del precio, algo cómodo para el alcance del bolsillo, buena atención que uno buscaPosted on PichayaVerified Amazing Santa Cruz Trek Experiences (Rainy Season) Me and my wife had a pleasure of doing Santa Cruz trek with Gilf and his Colonia Adventure team. Even though we trek during the rainy season and it rained about 70% of the time, we still had one of the best trekking experiences. We had experiences in doing high altitude trek in the Himalayas and Karakoram before and we could say that his services are top notch. Let me tell you why we had one of the best trekking experiences because: 1) Gilf is a superb mountain guide who is very knowledgeable, polite, humble, caring, and fun. He taught us about the nature (flowers and fauna), the culture, and the history of the land. 2) Great equipments (tents) - perfect for super wet season 3) His teams are professionals (cook and mule driver) - great foods, polite, and well-prepared 4) All of the money went to the local people. 5) Eco-friendly - No trash left behind If you are considering trekking around Huaraz with the support, we highly recommended Gilf and Colonia Adventures. Best, PichayaPosted on Will HVerified Fantastic Trip and Adventure Our group hired Colonia Adventures for a 12 day trek around the Huayhaush Mountains. Gilf and Mariuja (the owners of Colonia Adventures) were amazing and provided great services in every way. They were great hosts during the days before and after the trek, and Gilf (our head guide) organized and led our trek. Gilf was extremely knowledgeable and fun to be with. He entertained our group daily and made every effort to ensure that our journey was safe and successful. The trek was extremely well priced, utilized top quality equipment, consisted of great staff, and most importantly provided delicious food. I can't wait to organize our next trek with Colonia. It's so nice have a company that you can trust, and does things for the right reasons (Gilf and Maruja are sincerely concerned about running sustainable, environmentally responsible tourism in Huaraz).Posted on Goofy NVerified "Trekking with Maruja Colonia" The trekking was fantastic which could not have been possible without the Gilf (Co-owner of Maruja Colonia Adventures B&B and his team. We were welcomed in Lima international airport by Gilf, stayed over night and departed to the Huaraaz early morning by road where his family members greeted us once again in his B&B. The Gilf and his team were so cheerful, outspoken and extremely experienced that made our trekking enjoyable from start to finish. Food was excellent throughout no wonder why we ate so much and still missing "awake up tea". I strongly recommend if anyone planning a trip to Peru, give a call to Gilf. Tarjan (TJ)Posted on Carlos GómezVerified Una gran opción Dado que estábamos hospedados en la Casa de Maruja, le pedimos a la Sra que nos ayudara con los tours (3 en total), acordando un precio razonable nos dio muchas facilidades, entre ellas el traslado sin costo desde la Casa hasta el centro, servicio recomendado
