Breakfast. At 8:00am, you will be picked up from your hotel, after 30
minutes of motorboat you will arrive at the Uros Island. Fishermen and
hunters inhabit the floating islands of the Uros. The residents of the
Uros use the cattail, a type of rush, which grows in the lake, to create
the conditions that ensure the islands stay afloat. The dense roots that
the plants develop support the island. The roofs are waterproof and the
houses are extremely humid because of the surrounding water. At present
they speak Quechua and Aymara. We will visit 3 different floating
islands and we will board the “Totora Boats”, after this tour we will
continue our trip and we will arrive to Llachon Peninsula. In Llachon,
we will appreciate the Inca’s costums that still stay, the behavior and
the interrelations of the residents. We will take lunch prepared by the
residents. After, we will take a motorboat for 40 minutes bordering
Llachon peninsula and we will appreciate the natural landscape that the
peninsula offer us. At night, we will take dinner and have a show
prepared by the residents who lodge us.
These homestays does not have the same facilities as one house of the
city , This program will give the traveller the opportunity to set
contact wit these inhabitants and learn about their knowledge and
experiences, experimenting also the intensity of their love to the earth,
their myths and believes. (Shared bathrooms, no hot water). Overnight.

goes directly to the main square, located in the top of the island. The
residents continue
living according their old traditions and laws. We left the Taquile
Island
where we must descend 533 stone steps (altitude 13,000 ft above sea
level)to arrive to Chilcano main port. Return to Puno. Overnight at

Day 4 : SILLUSTANI - LIMA
Breakfast. Transportation to the airport to take the flight to Lima
(airfare NOT included). On The route visit at the Sillustani Chullpas (pre-Colombian
funeral towers). The scenery is desert but impressive, in a beautiful
setting on a peninsula on Ayumara lake about 32 Km. from Puno. Most of
the towers date from the period of Inca occupation in the 15th century;
the engineering involved in their construction is more complex than
anything the Incas built. (B)

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
