PROGRAM
Day 1: UROS ISLAND AND LLACHON PENINSULA (PRIVATE SERVICE - OVERNIGHT)
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. (L,D)
Day 2: LLACHON PENINSULA AND TAQUILE ISLAND
Breakfast. Transfer from Llachon Peninsula to Taquile Island (1 hour).
We will arrive to Taquile Island. We will visit the Taquile Island and we
will take a walk of 50 minutes from Chuño port, by a footpath that 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. (B,L)

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
