Jul 1 - Jul 12, 2023
Jesus of Peruvian Soul helped us plan an unforgettable adventure. Visiting the Larco Museum with our guide Blanca was an excellent introduction to Inca and pre Inca civilizations that helped provide context to many of the archeological sites we saw in the sacred valley and Cusco.
Boris, ourRainforest expeditions guide, at the Tambopata reserve was excellent. He had so much knowledge of the flora and fauna of the area. We loved seeing the macaws at the clay lick . It was well worth the 4:30am wake up! While on a day hike we had the privilege of seeing howler, spider, cappuccino and squirrel monkeys, trumpeter birds, many different ants, giant and unique trees.
Our time in Machu Picchu was spectacular and enhanced many fold by our wonderful guide Danny. He had so much information on Inca civilization and was able to provide much needed context for us. He was patient and helpful as we hiked the short Inca trail for over 6 hours. Our day at the citadel was full of facts and anecdotes about the city. Our day biking and seeing the countryside as well as the salt mines was terrific.
Our guide jimmy made certain we were happy and safe.
Our last day we visited a llama & Alpaca farm with Danny, which I loved. We learned about alpaca wool and purchased some lovely things. Danny also took us to a place to have typical chiccerones for lunch.
It was a spectacular trip .
Hotel Reviews
Loved this hotel. It was charming. The bathroom was awesome. The room clean and the staff personable and professional
This is not an ordinary hotel. The rooms are open to the outside which we loved. It’s the jungle so it was hot . We had mosquito netting over our bed which was great. The food provided was delicious . At night you can here the howler monkeys and the rain . We had butterflies and other bugs in our room but it was all good
This is one of the nicest hotels I have ever stayed in. It is however about 2 hours from the Cusco airport. The buildings and grounds are lovely. The food delicious. In our bed they left hot water bottles as it was chilly there. Just Gorgeous !
