    My wife, daughter and I had a wonderful four day hike along the Inca Trail. The guide, cook and porters made every effort to make our experience memorable. Vidal and his staff satisfied our every need from arranging pick-up to accommodations. The personal service was outstanding. In fact, our son who flew from Colorado to meet us in Macchu Picchu was shuttled through Lima, Cuzco and Aquas Calientes and was waiting for us as we descended from the Sun Gate. The smile on everyone's face spoke volumes about "Adios Adventure Travel".  We would not hesitate to book through them again.

    Hola Vidal,

     
    I have just finished composing a slide show from our trip to Peru. Too bad that it is over.  We had a fantastic time!  We had a “wow moment” every day and the sights were breathtaking. We would go back to Peru any time and rely on you to make the arrangements. You guys came through on all your promises but also your team has astonished us by the warmth of the relationship and caring. John in Lima, Henry in Arequipa and Ciro in Cusco really spent a lot of time with us, explaining what we would not have noticed in the sculptures or architecture on our own. Washington, the driver in Arequipa, was also very personable, helping us through the trip to Colca and on to Puno (not to mention that he had fixed my suitcase damaged in air transit).
     
    We enjoyed the company of young Hubert.  He is a bright young man and extremely personable. On top of it, he had a lot patience for my broken Spanish without reverting to English, which he speaks very well. We felt that Hubert really cared about our well-being and coached us how to climb up Tequile Island to its whole 4010 m (at that plazoleta) without expiring of exhaustion.  I must say that your travel plan worked out very well. You included a lot of worthwhile places that we would not have seen without you. We loved the chicheria and the game of sapo. Thanks to your travel plan, we acclimatized very well to the heights by the time of reaching Qosqo. We also liked your hotel selection, which were either extremely comfortable (St.Augustin in Lima or Encantada in Cusco) or just convenient (Aguas Calientes), and the ones in Arequipa (Casa de Melgar), Ollantaytambo and Cusco (Encantada) had a lot of character and beauty.
     

    Feel free to give our phone number (613-353-7081) and email to any of your potential clients, we wil be happy to share with them our fantastic experience.

    Thank you amigos and see you again.

    Hola Vidal,

    Looking at all our pictures from the trip, we cannot believe how many things we did on this trip to Peru!  Thank you for organizing our trip for us!  From start to finish we always were picked up on time, and we never had to worry about our hotels and our transportation.  What a wonderful way to spend our honeymoon. We think you have a great group working for you from Juan, the best guide ever, to the cooks, Jefferson and Alex and our driver, Joaquin.  The tours that you organized for us were perfect and most of the hotels exceeded our expectations.  Although we planned a busy schedule, you were willing to help us figure out where to take breaks to slow down.  When we arrived in Cuzco we were happy to finally meet you and it was wonderful to spend several days with Juan.  We loved his knowledge, patience and willingness to chat with us on all subjects.  Learning about the Quecha culture from you and Juan was especially fascinating. 
    Our special day cooking for the Quecha family in the small town near Pisac was something we will not forget.  We felt so welcomed by the family and privileged to be able to eat with them.  If Alex has a recipe for the soup we made that he can pass along to us that would be great!  If we get back to Peru we want to do a pacha manca meal like we talked about, someday!  
     
    Keep up the wonderful work with the sustainable tourism, it is why we chose to go with Adventure Holidays Peru.  It is great that you try to help the people and the environment of Peru.

    Mary

Itinerary

Day 1 Cusco
Arrival in Cusco and transfer to the hotel. Guided, walking tour of Cusco and visit to Sacsayhuaman Archaeological Park as you adjust to the altitude for the first couple of days.

Day 2 Cusco - Ollantaytambo
We tour the small towns of the Sacred Valley, including Chinchero to Ollantaytambo. Each town offers its unique interpretation of ancient customs and traditional life. Chinchero is known for hand-dying and weaving fabric; Ollantaytambo is the oldest occupied Incan town. Overnight in Ollantaytambo and dinner in local restaurant.

Day 3 - Ollantaytambo - Inca Trail - Day 1
We enter the trail head after the morning groups are well on their way. Our trail meanders along the river before we see elevation and a welcome lunch, prepared by our porters. We continue to our campsite where dinner awaits followed by a good rest.

Day 4 Inca Trail - Day 2
After our hearty breakfast, we start our climb for the day which takes us through changing climactic zones before we stop for lunch. After lunch, we continue to the highest point of the trek, Dead Woman’s Pass, which tops out at 13,800 fasl. (4200 m.) Our descent takes us pass waterfalls and mountain flora and fauna before we reach the campground.

Day 5 Inca Trail - Day 3
More incredible views as our hike winds through the Andes mountains full of plants, birds and images of ancient Incan culture. Our last night camping on the trail before our arrival to Machu Picchu.

Day 6 Inca Trail - Day 4 to Machu Picchu - Cusco
The mystery unravels as we climb through remnants of Incan ruins and over stone steps that are hundreds of years old. Up and over the Sun Gate (Inti Punku) we get our first glimpse of the ancient citadel, Machu Picchu. A private, guided tour is our reward after following in the footsteps of the ancient ones with some time to explore on your own. We take the train to Cusco and to our hotel for the night and dinner in a restaurant.

Day 7 Cusco - Lima
Free morning in Cusco, then we’ll drive to the airport, where our service concludes. You’ll board your flight to Lima and your next destination.
