are discovering them for the first time. Machu Picchu is one of the world´s
greatest cultural treasures, and of these is the most enigmatic.

professional English and Spanish speaking guide, tents, bath tent, cook tent,

ITINERARY
At 6 in the morning our private van picks passengers up from
their hotels. We drive down through the Sacred Valley to Chilca.
Here we meet the porters, the Quechua-speaking natives of this
rugged country. Tonight we camp at Llactapata, an important fort
along the Urubamba River.
After a healthy breakfast we climb up away
from the river, heading straight for Salkantay, a snow-capped
mountain that reaches 20,600 feet high and the most imposing
peak in this region. At Huayllabamba the streambed forks, and we
turn away from Salkantay to the SW and head NW along the trail.
We camp at Llilluchapampa, part way up to the high pass of
Warmiwauscca.
Today the first part of the trek takes us
over the Warmiwauska pass at the height of 13,500 feet. At its
heights, the amazing stone trail is better preserved than when
it passes through lower lands. As we descend, we leave the
tundra vegetation and enter the elfin forest of bonsai trees
covered by a profusion of creepers and orchids. We pass the
important ruins of Runkuraqay and Sayacmarca and camp at
Phuyupatamarca, the city above the clouds, from which there are
spectacular views of snow covered mountain ranges.
Passing through the Intipuncu (gates of the
sun), we arrive in Machupicchu, the lost city of the Incas. We
will visit the picturesque town of Aguas Calientes and enjoy a
relaxing bath at the local hot springs and later we will camp by
the river.
We will rise early in the morning. After
breakfast we will take a bus up to visit the lost city of
Machupicchu. An optional hike for the more dynamic people in the
group would be to hike up to Huaynapicchu, the pyramid-shaped
peak that overlooks Machupicchu. We will take the late afternoon
train back to Cuzco(Cusco).
Note:There is the option of relaxing in the
hot springs in Aguas Calientes

Our tour to
the islands on Lake Titicaca was a
wonderful day. We had great weather and the people that we met
were very friendly. The island of Taguile was a beautiful little
paradise. The hotel in Puno was very good, with a great
breakfast. It is too bad we could only stay one night. We kept
the room for the second night so that we could freshen up before
going on the bus to Cusco Peru.
Thank you for everything that you have done to make our trip so
enjoyable. Please pass along to Christi our thanks for the great
job that she did in organizing our tour. She was able to
assemble an itinerary that included everything that we asked for
and still was not too rushed. It was an enjoyable, informative
and relaxing time.
Thank you again to all of the staff at
Peru travel Gateway
and your suppliers for making this a wonderful experience.

We had a very nice trip to Peru.
Thanks for you help. Our hotels in Peru
were what we expected, very nice and the hotel help went out of
their way to make sure we were comfortable and had what we needed.
Our guides were outstanding. Always on time and catered to our
needs. Our groups were small except for the Sacred Valley tour where
we had 25 members. Food was plentiful and tasty at each restaurant.
The Hotel Casa Andina in Cusco gave us an upgrade when we returned
from MP which was very nice. Also, the Radisson gave us an upgrade
when we returned to Lima although we stayed only 6 hours.
Again, thanks for your services. I feel very fortunate that I
selected your travel services, because of the services. Several on
the trip thought I was mighty brave to select an unknown agency. I
was impressed with Ivan during our first emails and phone
conversations. I trusted him and he trusted me, this makes for happy
results for everyone.
Sincerely, Mary Earp.

I just returned back to the US from my trip to Peru. I wanted to let
you know how grateful I am for the wonderful experience that you
help me coordinate and plan. I loved all of the sites and felt I had
a unique experience that I will never forget.
The tour planners and the tour
guides were all wonderful and extremely helpful. Each of them were
very polite and knowledgable about their subjects and locations. I
learned alot about Peru and its customs.
The hotel on Machu Picchu (Sanctuary Lodge) and the hotel in Puno
(The Libertador) were excellent and I would recommend anyone to stay
in each of those locations. The San Augustin El Dorado was just
adequate; I found the hotel to be clean and the staff helpful, but
there is too much noise during the evening and mornings; this is
because many of the rooms overlook the central lobby of the hotel
and the acoustics create echos of sound from the front desk and
those people having conversations in the lobby area. Also, the space
heaters in each of the El Dorado rooms I stayed in did not work at
all. I do not think I would recommend the hotel to people unless
they didn't mind a noisy atmosphere.
The Posada del Inca hotel in Bolivia was very nice; I really liked
the rustic feel and intimate setting and the private gardens--the
views of Lake Titicaca and the mountains were spectacular. Although
I didn't realize it would be a hike (literally) up to it. One of the
couples I was travelling with on the first day in Bolivia had
trouble making it up the hillside (they didn't know they would have
to hike to the top to get to the hotel). I would recommend letting
potential guests know that it is a 40 - 45 minute hike from the dock
to the hotel itself. The guides were very helpful and it was good
that our luggage was carried up separately.
The trip was amazing and I just wanted to thank you for all of your
planning. I would recommend you and your staff to everyone I know
who wanted to plan a trip to go to Peru.
Have a wonderful new year!
Regards,
Wendy
