Day 1
Our full day tour start with the visit to Pachacamac, which is the most
important Incas administrative and religious center in the coast. It is
located near Lima, at 19.26 miles (31 km). Pachacamac is an archaeological
enclosure whose constructions conserve the mysticism and religiosity of
their past. When traveling this sanctuary, where hundred of years ago the
natives surrendered cult to the sun and to the Earth, one can feel the magic
attraction of a place that will always be sacred , The investigations
presume that this place was inhabited since the year 200 up to 1533. From
the Pre-Inca constructions stand out the "Templo Pintado" (colored temple)
and the "Templo Viejo" (old temple), built with small adobes and pyramids
with ramps. After the Inca conquest they built next to them the "Templo del
Inti" (Temple of sun) and an "acllahuasi" (house prepared for the chosen
girls). The Temple of Inti has a flight of stairs made of stones and
passages that go along the edge of the main structure, built with adobes. On
him a great terrace exists with view to the sea, and is related with the
islands in front of this group with an old legend.
Then our second stop is the Paracas Peninsula, located at 220 kms from the
south of Lima.
It is a nature reserve and a major archeological site as well. We will have
our excursion to the Paracas Reserve of about 2 1/2 hours. Paracas is one of
the best marine reserves, with the highest concentration of marine birds ,
we will enter in contact with the nature of Paracas National Reserve where
you will see the natural rocky formations, sea birds and the most impresive
desert in contrast with the ocean. At the end transfer to your hotel in
Paracas. (Lunch).

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
