inactive lava fields. Aside from its sea lion colonies, this is one of the
most important sites for bird watching.
Many species, like the hooded mockingbird and red-billed tropic bird, can be
spotted and observed closely. Past the nesting grounds there’s the world’s
largest colony of waved albatrosses.
From May to December their mating rituals are a highlight of the visit.
Afterwards there’s the famous blowhole, where water shoots 23 m (75 ft) up
into the air.
Española (Gardner Bay)
Wet landing on a white coral beach amidst a large colony of sea lions. This
site has no trails, so hiking is not possible.
It’s an open area where you can spot Galapagos hawks, American oyster
catchers, Galapagos doves, hooded mockingbirds, three species of Darwin
finches, yellow warblers, lava lizards, and marine iguanas.
It’s great for swimming and snorkeling, and you can see many Galapagos
marine species like king angelfish, creole fish, damsel fish, parrot fish,
manta rays, white-tipped reef sharks.
Day 4: GALAPAGOS ISLAND - (TUESDAY)
Floreana (Cormorant Point)
Wet landing on a greenish-colored beach. Passengers will hike from black
mangrove beds to a large brackish pond, which holds one of the largest
flamingo populations in the Galapagos.
This island is best known for its endemic plant life 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.
Champions
After Cormorant Point, there’ll be a one-hour tour in a dinghy along the
coast to observe: blue footed boobies, sea lions, marine iguanas, and
swallow-tailed gulls.
Deep-water snorkeling, this unforgettable activity lasts about an hour and
it will be like swimming in an aquarium with colorful fish, tame sharks, and
rays.
Floreana (Post Office)
Located on the northern side of Floreana Island, the bay was also called
Post Office because, in 1793, Captain James Colnett installed an empty
barrel to serve as an informal mailbox for sailors who passed by the
Galapagos, taking with them the letters to their destinations.
Today, our visitors continue the tradition by placing unstamped postcards
inside the barrel which reach their destinations free of charge. It can take
weeks or months, or sometimes the cards never arrive at all!
A short walk away from the famous barrel, there’s a tunnel formed by lava
flows. Down a path you can observe the mocking bird of Galapagos, some
species of Darwin’s finches, yellow warbler and lava lizards.
After a short trip in the panga, you’ll make a dry landing at Lookout Point
where you can enjoy a great view among marine birds.

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
