Breakfast. 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.

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. Overnight at

Day 4 : SILLUSTANI - LIMA
Breakfast. Transportation to the airport to take the flight to Lima

funeral towers). The scenery is desert but impressive, in a beautiful
setting on a peninsula on Ayumara lake about 32 Km. from Puno. Most of
the towers date from the period of Inca occupation in the 15th century;
the engineering involved in their construction is more complex than
anything the Incas built. (B)

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
