点评:We did the Choquequirao trek with this company and unfortunately had a very disappointing experience overall.
To be fair, the guide, cook and porter were kind and did their best throughout the trek. The problem was clearly not the field staff, but the way the trip was organised and the standard of accommodation chosen by the agency.
The campsites and facilities were far below what we consider acceptable for a trek at this price point. In Santa Rosa, the toilet and shower were shockingly dirty, the shower was cold, the shower head was broken, and there was no electricity. In Marampata, we again found dirty facilities, had to pay extra for WiFi and hot water, and even after paying for WiFi the password was changed shortly afterwards. In several places, the atmosphere from the local hosts felt cold and unwelcoming.
What made this worse was the constant feeling of having to pay extra for everything: WiFi, charging a phone, hot showers, water, etc. There was also no toilet paper provided anywhere. For a tour costing around $1,700 for two people, this is simply not acceptable.
There were also discrepancies between the tour sold and the tour delivered. The website mentioned a portable toilet, lunch on the Choquequirao site, a local hacienda visit to learn about sugarcane, and a visit to Saywite Rock. None of these were actually provided.
The agency charges premium prices, but the reality on the ground suggests that very little of that money is going into decent conditions for guests or meaningful benefits for the local communities involved.
Overall, this trek felt seriously overpriced for what was delivered, and I would not recommend this company.
翻译:我们参加了这家公司的乔克基劳徒步之旅,但总体体验非常令人失望。
平心而论,向导、厨师和背夫都很友善,在整个徒步过程中也尽心尽力。问题显然不在于工作人员,而在于行程的安排以及旅行社选择的住宿标准。
营地和设施远低于我们认为这个价位徒步之旅应有的水平。在圣罗莎,厕所和淋浴间脏得令人震惊,淋浴水是冷的,淋浴喷头坏了,而且没有电。在马兰帕塔,我们再次发现设施很脏,WiFi和热水都要额外付费,而且即使付费后,WiFi密码很快就被更改了。在好几个地方,当地居民的态度都让人感觉冷漠不关心。
更糟糕的是,感觉什么都要额外付费:WiFi、手机充电、热水淋浴、水等等。而且到处都没有提供厕纸。对于一个两人约1700美元的旅行团来说,这样的体验简直令人无法接受。
此外,行程安排与宣传不符。网站上提到会提供移动厕所、在乔克基劳遗址享用午餐、参观当地庄园了解甘蔗种植,以及游览萨伊维特岩。但这些项目一个也没有提供。
这家旅行社收费高昂,但实际情况表明,这些钱几乎没有用于改善游客的体验,也没有真正惠及当地社区。
总而言之,这次徒步旅行的性价比极低,我不会推荐这家公司。
