At the top of my list!
The Peru photography tour was amazing but even better was spending time with Max! He is a true professional at teaching, having fun and being a great friend on the Peru Tour. Max also took my twin boys and he was so patient and deliberate about
helping them to learn landscape photography. This was an absolute trip of a lifetime and the pictures we got are some of my all time favorites
and are hanging on my walls at home and in my office. If you’re
evaluating different photography trips after being on several others, this Peru Tour would be
one at the top of my tour list!

Greatest Instructor
After the Peru tour I decided to name him Max 'GOAT' Rive. Not because Max can climb mountains in the dark, off the trail in search of that perfect photo spot, but because I felt he is the 'Greatest Of All Time' photographer/ instructor there is, period.
His detailed planning to find the perfect spot and being there at the right time; his patience in showing the technique to capture outstanding images; his editing and his easy to follow tutorials so one can learn the subtleties of Photoshop; and best of all is his easy going, fun loving atmosphere that makes the tour all the more enjoyable.

Consider doing it again!
I absolutely loved the Peru photography trip! There was so much versatility in the
trip and the shots we got were incredible. I almost never repeat a trip and I would consider doing the Peru trip again because I enjoyed it so much. Max does a great job finding amazing shots for all the customers, and really spends all his time helping us get once in a lifetime shots.

Can I bring my drone?
If you do decide to bring a drone keep the following in mind: You could run into some problems during the security check. The fine could be around 2500 euro, if they detect the drone. If you choose to use your drone inside the park, you’ll need a permit. If you let us know in advance, we can get the permit for you. Otherwise, we cannot guarantee that you’ll be able to use your drone in the park.
How many hiking will be involved?
There are 2 hikes in the first 6 days: the first is a 1km hike with 100 meters of elevation gain at 4500+ meters high; the second is a 2.5km hike and 300 meters of elevation gain. Although these distances are small - we will prepare for a slow and steady pace in order to allow everyone to get used to the high elevation and to be in time for the sunrise spot. Guides will be at both the front and back of the group.
How will we deal with the high elevation?
To ensure your comfort and safety, we will begin at a lower elevation and sleep at around 2500 meters before heading upwards. You can prepare by: - drinking water during the tour to stay hydrated (we will be taking toilet breaks!) - consuming more carbs than usual to give your body the energy it needs at higher elevations - consulting your doctor to inquire about medication for high altitudes Also, keep in mind: - caffeine is considered safe - alcohol and nicotine can have a negative impact at higher elevations - let the guides know anytime you feel ill
