Your overall comments on the trip and the travel company:

Our travel agency was fabulous. From when we first contacted them, until just before we left, they were always very responsive. Everything was incredibly well organized, all arrangements were flawless and our tour guides were wonderful for Machu Picchu and the Amazon jungle. Everyone was always on time when we were supposed to pick us up and they always made sure we knew what all the plans were. All the hotels they booked us in were lovely, especially the former monastery.

We did find the tour guide in Cuzco obsessed with rocks and stone. He seemed to miss many details because he was so focused on the rocks. That was a bit frustrating.

Machu Picchu was extremely challenging but so worth it and your first sight of Machu Picchu as you enter through the Sun Gate was incredible.

I would definitely use this company for any other trip we were planning. They literally thought of everything and took care of all the details for us. Our agent was fantastic as were her team.

What were the most enjoyable or memorable parts of your trip?

-Your first view of Machu Picchu as you enter through the Sun Gate.

-When arriving in camp after a long day of hiking, the porters getting a stool for you and handing you a glass of lemonade.

-The announcement of happy hour at 4:30 during the Machu Picchu hike.

-Two porters carrying hot water, tea bags and cups up many steps to help give us strength as we finished the incredible challenging 2nd day.

- The cook baking a cake for us the day before the last day of the hike( I don't know how he baked such a yummy cake without an oven!)

-Two of our children chasing Alpaca's and being spat at (hilarious!)

-Little children carrying baby llamas or Alpacas wearing knitted hats so you would want to take a picture with them.

-Rice or potatoes with almost all meals.

-Seeing beautiful macaws, capybaras, and a sloth on the last day of the jungle!

-Laying in the hammock in our room

-Walking through the jungle at night seeing all the spiders and an insane dragonfly.

If you could take your trip again, what would you do differently?

Can't say we would do anything differently. Though there were challenges, they are memories we will never forget.
