greatest cultural treasures, and of these is the most enigmatic.

ITINERARY
At 6 in the morning our private van picks passengers up from
their hotels. We drive down through the Sacred Valley to Chilca.
Here we meet the porters, the Quechua-speaking natives of this
rugged country. Tonight we camp at Llactapata, an important fort
along the Urubamba River.
After a healthy breakfast we climb up away
from the river, heading straight for Salkantay, a snow-capped
mountain that reaches 20,600 feet high and the most imposing
peak in this region. At Huayllabamba the streambed forks, and we
turn away from Salkantay to the SW and head NW along the trail.
We camp at Llilluchapampa, part way up to the high pass of
Warmiwauscca.
Today the first part of the trek takes us
over the Warmiwauska pass at the height of 13,500 feet. At its
heights, the amazing stone trail is better preserved than when
it passes through lower lands. As we descend, we leave the
tundra vegetation and enter the elfin forest of bonsai trees
covered by a profusion of creepers and orchids. We pass the
important ruins of Runkuraqay and Sayacmarca and camp at
Phuyupatamarca, the city above the clouds, from which there are
spectacular views of snow covered mountain ranges.
Passing through the Intipuncu (gates of the
sun), we arrive in Machupicchu, the lost city of the Incas. We
will visit the picturesque town of Aguas Calientes and enjoy a
relaxing bath at the local hot springs and later we will camp by
the river.
We will rise early in the morning. After
breakfast we will take a bus up to visit the lost city of
Machupicchu. An optional hike for the more dynamic people in the
group would be to hike up to Huaynapicchu, the pyramid-shaped
peak that overlooks Machupicchu. We will take the late afternoon
train back to Cuzco(Cusco).
Note:There is the option of relaxing in the
hot springs in Aguas Calientes

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
