UROS - AMANTANY ISLANDS
You will be picked up from your hotel around 8:20 am, after 2 hours 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., then
you will visit Amantany Island on Lake Titicaca. With a population of 3,500
Quechua inhabitants, it is known for its two pre-Inca temples dedicated to
the earth's fertility. Built on different hills, these places are sacred and
ceremonial rituals are still practiced by "Andean Yatiris"
there. Amantani's range of magnetic field is unusual, and the residents
renowned for their gentleness. You can be strolling the streets to get a
sense of their culture. There are plenty of opportunities to purchase their
woven textiles, pottery and straw baskets. Then we will come back to Puno,
transfer to your hotel. (L)

Hello all the folks at Peru Gateway Travel,
We had a fantastic time in Peru. We thank you all for making
our trip a success.
The only concern is that the accommodation in Cusco was below
average and we would not recommend the Emparada Plaza (?) to
anyone. Even though the staff was good, the room/bathroom,
breakfast was very bad.
Once again, thanks a lot for making our trip to your country a
memorable one. All the guides, especially Guillarmo in Lima
and Erica in Cusco, were excellent.

We arrived home at 4 o'clock in the
morning, very tired (we had a long lay-over in Amsterdam) but very
very happy. I am so pleased to tell you that our Peru vacation that
you planned for us was excellent! Everything was just as the
itinerary said it would be. We were very pleased with the hotels,
and the transfer people and guides were always there and everybody
was so nice and knowledgeable. We learned a lot about your very
exciting country and its history, particularly about the Quechua
culture. We will always remember the Inti Raymi festival in Cusco. I
am so glad we were able to see that. Of course Machu Picchu was also
a great highlight. And, Michael and I also very much liked Arequipa.
We didn't know much about that city, but we had a very great time
there on our free day and visited the cathedral, spent a lot of time
going through the Santa Catalina monastario and, of course, went to
the museum to see "Juanita". Beautiful architecture there too.
Really, every day was wonderful, and we would like to thank you so
much for all your efforts. Also please extend our thanks to Maria
Carmen who was so helpful on the phone and to Julia, who came to the
hotel our first night to explain many things to us and give us all
our tickets and vouchers. And perhaps you also had something to do
with our last night in Lima at the Libertador. We got a suite -- a
very big beautiful room! Thank you so much.
We wish you and your family all the best, and for sure we will be
recommending Peru Gateway Travel to our friends.
