COMMENTS FROM RUNNING ADVENTURE GUESTS

"Devy is a star, a genius, and a human dynamo. When problems arise, he finds a solution. When a group member has an individual need or request, he goes out of his way to help. It's always done with a smile, and he gives people the confidence to meet challenges, because he believes in them. Most inspiring holiday I've ever had." Sean Bowen - Herts, UK "This trip has been an amazing adventure Devy. Your tireless attention to every detail never ceases to amaze and its part of what made the trip so special. Everyone of every ability is catered for. The guides were all extremely knowledgeable and enthusiastic about 'their' country. Through the Andean Triangle, you enabled us to run through and experience some of the most beautiful area's that Argentina, Chile, Bolivia and Peru can offer and we will treasure our '1st Princess Juanita of Ampato marathon' running vests for ever! " Trish Kelli & Roberto Bruni – London, UK "Looking back over the last week I would have to say that it was one of the most memorable and enjoyable few days I've ever had. As with all events it had it's ups & downs but with this event the only downs were the steep descents! I have to compliment Devy on a great overall package and in hindsight it was probably too well organised because now we'll expect more from future events. Abelardo was an excellent guide, good company and was always able to answer our questions. A big thanks to all my new friends, it was great getting to know you all so thanks for the memory. " John O'Regan - Co.Kildare, Ireland "This was one heck of a trip. Just a perfect combination: beautiful scenery, historic territory, fascinating culture, physical challenge, good companionship, great running buddies, good food, perfect organization, two fearless leaders – and lots of Pisco Sours and Mate de Coca to keep everybody happy. This will be hard to repeat. A treasure to remember! " Hans Schmid – Greenbrae,
CA "At the end of the day, the trip was so sensational, it was hard to find any more 'plus points' - so what about a criticism? The trouble with the Chasqui Challenge and Andes Adventures is that it is so brilliant, you will be spoilt for traveling with anyone else!" Stevie Matthews - Northumberland, UK "One of life's rarest opportunities is to experience and successfully complete a unique adventure. The Machu Picchu Marathon and The Chasqui Challenge lead by Devy Reinstein together posed just such an adventure. In retrospect, when one reflects on a unique yet challenging event, the only thing truly remembered is how great it was - thanks Devy" Walter Pheeney - Farmington Hills, MI "The start of the marathon was called Valley of Death . It should have been a sign for me that what was ahead was tough and then some... Read More " Pam Penfield – Highlands Ranch,
CO "Thank you again for the all the hard work and organization and constant care you put into our Inca Trail Marathon. I've been corresponding with one or two since we came home, and we all agree that it was absolutely the experience of a lifetime. Your arrangements and preparation worked extremely well; all our anxieties and queries were sorted out. The accommodation and food was excellent, and the whole tour very well thought-out. Carmela and Andres were a great help in Lima, and Abelardo was a brilliant guide at the Inca sites and Andean villages. I was thrilled to complete the course, and everyone back home here is fascinated and amazed." John Tyler – Taunton, UK "Just wanted to write and thank you for putting on the most amazing trip to Peru. Your anticipation of everyone's needs, your attention to every detail, your contagious enthusiasm for everything made for a truly wonderful experience. The side trips and mini excursions were adventures in themselves and the knowledge and expertise of your guides Freddy and Abelardo were a priceless addition to the trip. Once again please accept my sincere thanks. You are a star!" Richard Stubbings - W. Sussex, UK "Well done on organizing such a fantastic event. Really enjoyed the run and of course the rest of the trip made so much more enjoyable and interesting with the professional guides, who added so much value with the history of the areas we traveled through." Steve Camp – Kwazulu-Natal, South Africa "I've run the volcanoes of Hawaii, the Great Wall of China, and the mountains of Colorado, but none of them compared to the challenge, and satisfaction, of completing the Inca trail marathon. Not even 422 laps around a Russian trawler off the coast of Antarctica could compare to the majesty of your adventure runs in the Andes mountains" Layne Davis - Milwaukee, WI "Thank you so much for the epic adventure. I can’t possibly articulate how wonderful the trip was, nor are there words for how brilliant and skillful you are. I have no idea how you got us through airports and borders and buses and hotels so quickly and easilyor at least it seemed easy! Many, many thanks, I can’t wait to do another trip with you." Liz Doyle – Kirkland, WA "Kelly and I made it back to the U.S. after our extension to the Amazon. What an amazing trip. The only part I wish could have been different was to share it with you all. Hiking, canoeing, fishing, relaxing in a hammock with a good book. We saw a shaman cleansing ceremony, which was supposed to clean the soul from worries and troubles. After such a great vacation, I certainly had no worries or troubles left to cleanse. I believe they got lost somewhere that looked like the Inca trail. If anyone is heading back to Peru, I would highly recommend taking the extra few days to visit the Amazon region." Michelle Schall – Orlando, FL "The effort you put in to please everyone is amazing & well appreciated. Thank you for an amazing trip. I will remember this experience for the rest of my life." Diane Young - Ontario, Canada "The entire tour was absolutely outstanding. Excellent people from top to bottom, excellent facilities, excellent planning, communications and attention to detail. I will strongly recommend Andes Adventures tours to my friends." Max Welker - Tacoma, WA "The trip surpassed all my expectations and my expectations were high. Thanks for an unforgettable trip of a lifetime!" Richard Donovan - Galway, Ireland "Thanks again for a fantastic trip. You did a great job pulling it all off; hotels, meals, transfers, tours, etc. What a great group too! I think I made some lifelong friends. I would definitely go another trip with Andes again in the future, especially if you go to Patagonia." Elizabeth Prazeres – Denver, CO "Thank you for the wonderful Peru running experience! It was the trip of a lifetime and I met some very nice people. It renewed me physically and spiritually. I will always remember the beautiful faces of the people we saw along our journey and the incredible night sky during our Ausangate circuit." Kim Vollmer Rancho Santa Margarita, CA "Thank you for providing such a wonderful trip experience. We are indebted to you Devy, for life. We have been able to understand more about Andes people, explore remote highlands and experience such unusual things. This is an unforgettable trip with nothing but boastful things to say." Amy Schauwecker - Fresno, California "My Andes Adventures was the most incredible and challenging experience of my life. Devy produces an unforgettable trail running adventure of a lifetime" Cynthia Ruiz - New York "You do the most outstanding job - Your vitality, leadership, cheerfulness + overall attitude are unmatched!" Ron Lake - Cardiff, California "This was an incredible experience for me - one I will never forget. The challenge of the runs/walk, beauty of the countryside, the people we met, etc. The whole package was unforgettable." Judy Hillestad - Topanga, California "Awesome mountains, BIG views, and wonderful culture to experience.... Devy's efforts and attention to detail make this an experience one could not possibly duplicate. It would have been impossible to have experienced all that we did without Devy's efforts and attention to detail. It was remarkable in every way, and I thoroughly enjoyed it." Greg Bergner - South Lake Tahoe, California "I have been on a few of this sort of trips and this is the Best one - and I mean that! I truly had an adventure of a lifetime." Mary Ritz - Gooding, Idaho "I wanted to express my deepest thanks for creating one of my most amazing life adventures. Perú is amazing, spectacular and a supremely beautiful place. Your passion and zest for what you do was infectious and inspiring." Alex Accetta - Durango, Colorado "Devy, we couldn't have had a better leader than you. The trip was so organized, and you attitude of helping people with whatever they needed was terrific. You make people feel very at ease and confident." Kirsten King - Los Angeles, California "Devy's enthusiasm for his country, attention to each traveler personal needs and an uncanny sense of organization made for a wonderful trip." Mary Stripling - Reston, Virginia "Your energy, organization and willingness to answer all questions kept us moving and removed all insecurities. running. All in all, the trip far exceeded my expectations. The trip was an excellent value and I will recommend it to all." Chris Strohm - South Lake Tahoe, California "You went out of your way to make this trip a great adventure + memorable experience. Thanks!" Lorraine Lees - Kelowna, B.C Canada "I have been running for over 20 years and have done runs all over the world; however the Andes Adventure run was more than a run. It was a life experience that affects a person to his/her inner soul that forces you to reflect inward and teaches you that we're all on this planet a finite amount of time and that we all depend upon each other in some way or another. I strongly urge anyone to do this trip. You will come away a much better person in many ways for having gone." Len DeMoss - Louisville, Kentucky "Enjoyed the trip immensely. The logistical planning was outstanding. Impressed by the way time was planned carefully to allow time for each activity without rushing." Jeanne Christie - Washington D.C |
