Day 1 - (SUNDAY)
Meeting and assistance upon arrival in Quito and transfer to the Hotel for
overnight.

Departure from Quito or Guayaquil to Baltra (a flight of about two and a
half hours). Passengers are picked up at the airport by our guides and taken
to the pier to board the M/V Galapagos Legend.
North Seymour
Dry landing. Guests will see swallow-tailed gulls and sea lions. This site
is a major nesting colony of blue-footed boobies, and has the largest colony
of the magnificent frigate bird. Travelers will also see both marine iguanas
and land iguanas and will have opportunities for snorkeling. Day 3 -
(TUESDAY) - Santa Cruz (Dragon Hill or Venice)
Wet landing. Passengers walk to a salt-water pond behind the beach, where
pink flamingos can occasionally be observed. This trail leads up to Dragon
Hill, which offers a lovely view of the bay. This is a nesting site for
reintroducing land iguanas, and there is also a Scalesia tree forest.
Passengers may opt to take a dinghy to Venice islet and observe the
vegetation and marine animals like spotted eagle rays, golden rays, mullets,
sharks and sea turtles. Land iguanas have often been observed as well.
Floreana (Cormorant Point)
Wet landing on a greenish-colored sand beach. Visitors will hike from the
black mangrove beds to a large, brackish lake, which holds one of the
biggest flamingo populations in the Galapagos. The island is best known for
its endemic plants like the Galapagos milkwort, passion flower and button
mangrove.
Novice snorkelers can practice on the main beach with playful sea lions;
experienced snorkelers can roam around Devil’s Crown. Please keep in mind
this is an open-water activity; there is nothing to step on.
Day 4 - (WEDNESDAY) - Española (Suárez Point)
Dry landing. Visitors will learn more about the lava terrain and cross the
inactive lava fields.
Besides the sea lion colonies, this is a very important site for bird
watching. Many species, such as the hooded mocking bird and red-billed
tropic bird can be seen and observed closely.
You will also see a large colony of marine iguanas, lava lizards, and Sally
Light-foot crabs.
After a short trek, visitors will see colonies of masked and blue-footed
boobies.
The nesting grounds sometimes overlap the trail. Visitors will also find
Galapagos doves, hawks and swallow-tailed gulls and then reach the world’s
largest colony of waved albatross.
A major highlight is their mating season, from May through December.
You’ll visit the famous blowhole, where water shoots about 23 m (75 ft) up
into the air.

Machu Picchu and my entire visit to Peru were
wonderful. A dream come true.
I could not have been happier with everyone I met through your
arrangements.
The tours were very informative and showed me more than I knew
existed in this beautiful place.
All of the accommodations were very comfortable.
The luncheon buffet at the Alhambra was top rate. And the Ferré
Hotel in Lima was also a very good choice.Your personal assistance
throughout was exceptional!
Thank you for everything!

I was one of
the “Joel Williams” party of four who was recently on a Peru Gateway
Travel tour of northern and southern Peru. I had to write so you
would know how satisfied we were with the hotel accommodations, the
tour guides, the restaurants they choose for our lunches and just
everything about the trip.
The hotels we stayed in were well located, clean and convenient in
every way. We have absolutely no complaints!
Our tour covered Peru from the north to the south. It had four
internal flights, so there were many connections, pick ups and
deliveries involved. Peru Gateway Travel made sure we were always
delivered on time to the airports and promptly met and picked up
when we landed. We never had a moments worry.
Since we had many different day tours, we had several different
guides. All were professional and spoke our language well. All were
very knowledgeable and eager to impart that knowledge to us. They
chose great places for our lunches and the cuisine was
unforgettable. We have traveled to many countries but found the food
in Peru to be absolutely wonderful.
I also wanted to mention the drivers who picked us up at all times
of the day and night, drove us to our next destination and the
delivered us safely to our hotels. We never had a driver who was
less than prompt, courteous and most importantly, a skilled and
careful driver.
The sites we saw were the places we chose to see. And they did not
disappoint us. From the desert to the Andes to the Jungle, we
enjoyed it all.
Please feel free to use this email on your website or as a
testimonial. All four of our group would recommend Peru Gateway
Travel to anyone planning a trip to Peru. We were well taken care
of, enjoyed delicious food, saw awesome sights and had a wonderful
time.
Sincerely.

I am now back
home but still not believed that the holiday is over. I just
write you to tell you that I had a wonderful time in Peru and to
thanks for
your support. The circuit was very well designed and I had the
opportunity
to visit all the important sites I envisaged and also the Sacred
Valley and
the Altiplano.
I was really impressed by the organization and your people, always
in time
for pick up and interested to offer the necessary information.
Finally I showed to my friends that Peru is not so far and a visit
there
could be a wonderful experience. For me was a dream come true.
Many thanks to you and to your team.

My 2 adult children and I recently returned from our
hike to Machu Picchu and I wanted to thank you for all your
assistance. Our trip was great. We very much enjoyed visiting your
beautiful country. I especially want to praise our guide, cook and
porters. They did a terrific job. The food was marvelous and after a
long hike it was definitely something to look forward to. The
porters were very kind and when I needed some assistance at the end
of the 3rd day one of the porters helped me a lot. Our guide was
great. He was very knowledgeable and fun to hike with and he seemed
to really love his job. Again, thanks so much for everything
