A Priceless Experience - Even When Life Threw a Curveball
I've been on several expeditions to visit international sacred sites, and Robert Edward Grant and his team are exceptional guides, truly unlike any others. If you're content with the conventional narrative—that the Incas built most of these sites in the 15th century—you can tour Peru and Cusco surrounds with anyone. But if you have the heart of an adventurer and are eager to explore the deeper meanings, myths, and magic of these places as portals, REG and his team are exactly who you want leading the exploration. The beauty and energy of Peru's sacred sites were incredible. Our local guide, Rumi, was both a masterful storyteller and shaman—one whose care and love for his homeland allowed our group of Viajeros to be transformed by these sites in a way that would have been impossible without him. Eden (logistics coordinator and "Den Mother"), the security team, and the local guides did an unparalleled job with coordination, smoothing out logistics, and providing support through any unforeseen challenges—and we had a significant one. My husband required unexpected medical care and hospitalization in Cusco, and I missed several days of the expedition while supporting him at the hospital. Even during this stressful time, the group's care, warmth, and support were remarkable. The team's use of the Orion messenger platform also worked fantastically for coordination, sharing updates, and keeping me connected to the itinerary even while I was away. Robert and the team of teachers he selected truly facilitated deep cohesion, authentic care and connection, and an openness to growth that set the tone for our group's bonding, which leads me to one of the most profound and priceless parts of this expedition: the group of incredible humans drawn to this adventure. Each one is now a cherished friend. There was a felt sense of love, warmth, and support at a level I've rarely experienced while touring with a large group. The depth of care and connection alone deserves five stars. Robert and his team created the conditions for a priceless experience, even when life threw a curveball. Despite our family's medical situation, this remains one of the most meaningful travel experiences of my life. That speaks volumes.
