The most lasting memory will probably be our stay on Amantani Island on Lake TitiKaka. We stayed with a family without water and electricity and it was both enjoyable as well as being an eye opener.

Really enjoyable, very well organised, much higher standard of transport, guiding and food than I had expected.

As each day passed it became my favourite day so far! The Inca Trail of course and the island home stay have to be my top two. The holiday was made all the more memorable because of the great group we were travelling with and of course our guide Dante.

An optional visit to a farm in the rainforest was real eye-opener. The Libertador Tambopata lodges were excellent and gave you a real feel for the rainforest.

Excellent! Doing the Inca Trail was a spiritual experience. Our guide, Wilo went out of his way to point out orchids, great photography spots and had fantastic knowledge of the history of the area.

Machu Picchu and the Inca trail simply amazing... The site itself was breathtaking and our guide’s local knowledge and her native ancestry gave us extra insight into the people who lived there.

It was a great trip and we really enjoyed it. Machu Picchu was beautiful.....especially when the cloud lifted!!!

The human, non-commercial elements were as rewarding as the fixed features like Machu Picchu, Islas Ballestas, Nazca, Titicaca; the chance to explore, interact, share a joke, have fun, bargain, to understand the frustrations and limitations, to take part in local living, if only briefly

Most memorable? Hard to choose. Obviously, the magnificent view of Machu Picchu, as we arrived, but the welcome we had from the people in the villages was wonderful.

The holiday was superb from start to finish and far exceeded our expectations. The expected highlights of Macchu Picchu etc lived up to expectations with the remaining destinations visited exceeding them (rainforest... colca canyon and sacred valley).

Visiting the Amazon Jungle was the 'unmissable' part! A unique environment to experience - the river, the heat and humidity, the giant trees and canopy, the sounds of the jungle; seeing animals, birds, a cayman and catching piranhas!

The combination of the magnificant scenery plus the amazing Inca ruins made it especially memorable.

A fantastic experience to see some wonderful sights. We learned so much and everyone was friendly and welcoming.

The most exciting part of my holiday was hiking through the Peruvian jungle and feeling like you were discovering the Incan ruins yourself.

The two most amazing pieces of the holiday were finally arriving at Machu Picchu and the truly beautiful lodge in the rain forest.
