Hostal la Casona Monsante

The Belmond train ride to Machu Picchu followed by the tour round Machu Picchu was stunning and very memorable. However, the Amazon was also wonderful, especially the breakfast in a creek, the sunset trip, and the walk in the rainforest.

Inca Trail: This was an incredible experience. The guide/porters were extremely helpful and knowledgeable.

DH, Aylesbury

Highlights?: Both the Inca Trail and Puerto Maldonado

CR, Morden

Undoubtedly visiting Machu Picchu. Albeit have to give special mention to Soy y Luna, Colca Lodge and Antigua Casona San Blas, they made us feel very special. Finally the organisation and the guides were all warm and friendly and made us feel like family.

Very enjoyable

"The most enjoyable… having chocolate pancakes in the narrow cobbled streets of Cusco. And in the mountain village of Aguas Calientas. And in lots of other places. The kids having fun with the cats at the cat park of Lima. Meeting a mountain family and finding out about their way of life. This included meeting their guinea pigs – kept purely for their meat.”

LBM, South Africa

Highlights? :The Vistadome train journey to Machu Picchu and visiting the ruins themselves.

ME, Maidstone

"It was the overall experience that was important and I keep finding myself recalling small details that were entrancing at the time and then got lost in the next bout of sensory overload. In the end, I'd say it was the fact that I was able to speak almost nothing but Spanish for the duration of my trip that gave and gives me the greatest pleasure. Partly this is satisfaction that I adapted my Castillian Spanish so well to Peru. More importantly, I know that I got much more out of my guided tours because my guides were able to convey subtleties in their own language that would have got lost in translation. This is one of the key pluses of the 'tailor made' model. Having mainly private tours and excursions meant that I rarely had to compromise on this, for me, key aspect of the experience."

DM, Nottingham

The whole holiday was memorable and the flow and way it had been planned was excellent - we had a build up that allowed us to visit other parts of Peru, acclimatise and take in the history, culture and natural scenery before capping it off with the Inca trail and Machu Picchu! 

AB, Reading

Highlights?: White water rafting on the Urabamba river, Pirahna fishing and the lake titicaca tour.

MH, London

Machu Picchu was the most memorable part of the trip. The rain forest was fun. We loved the Andean Express train journey too.

MdlATS, London

Machu Pichu of course.

IB, London

The Inca Trail with the 3 day camping has to be the most memorable part.  It was an extraordinary adventure - tough, exhilarating, stunning and as a family with grown up children an amazing challenge to do as a group of 5. We all loved Peru and our holiday.  Peru surprised us.  It blew our minds.  The country is stunning, the people charming, the history fascinating and the food absolutely delicious.  We look forward to returning and maybe trying the Salcantay trek!  We will definitely want to return to El Tambo for more chill time!

GC, London

Everything was fantastic. We had a great holiday that we will remember for years to come.  

CLA,

Peru was incredible. The slick organisation of Journey Latin America allowed us to really enjoy every moment. The service was excellent and I would thoroughly recommend.

HG, Malvern

Most Memorable Moment?: Every step of the way was amazing... But Machu Picchu was undeniably the crown jewel of the trip

JB,

Peru is one of those countries that becomes memorable on so many levels. Each place I visited made my heart miss a beat I simply loved it all( I also loved my visit to the taquile and eat with the local people, the food was amazing and people simply beautiful.)

DC, London

Highlights:- It is difficult to pick out just one experience from such a plethora of new ones.  There was so much to see and absorb in Peru which was fascinating but Machu Picchu must rate very highly in our list of memorable events on the mainland as must the whole Colca Canyon experience including the drives through the Highlands to Chivay.

ND, Lewes

Most Memorable Moment?: Machu Picchu... does anyone traveling to Peru ever put anything else? :-)

ME, Carlisle

Highlight?: Too many to mention but the Condors and Machu Picchu were spectacular.

GB, Westerham

Most Memorable Moment?: One day hike to Sun Gate/Macchu Picchu

SF, Woking

"The people, mixing with the Peruvian people in the markets, talking and laughing with them."

JL, Cobham

“The food in Brazil and Peru was amazing. This was unexpectedly the best foodie holiday we ever had.”

NV, Bethnal Green

It was memorable because of the cultural and geographical variety so can't pick out particular part.    We were in 3 different climates, in mountains, jungle and coast.  Probably enjoyed the places where we had most interactions with nature i.e. Lake Titicaca and jungle.

SL,

Highlight: Being able to recreate photographs at Sasqaywaman above Cusco of our relatives who came to live in Peru in 1910. 

CC, Bristol

Most Memorable Moment?: Arriving at Machu Pichu - seen the photographs could not believe actually there.

CM, Bradford-on-avon

Most Memorable Moment?: Cusco - such a great atmosphere with so much history.

MH, Manchester

Most memorable experience: "Impossible to pick! Machu Picchu, the floating Uros Islands, the Nazca Lines, and seeing the condors were all incredible experiences that we will never forget."

KF, Reading

Most Memorable Moments?: Seeing a forest of Puyas de Raimondi near Huarez The trek from Ascobamba to Pillcocancha particularly the hospitality of the campesinos and watching cows being milked by hand. The visit to Tarmatambo visiting the ruins and being approached by a small boy called Kevin who persuaded his mother to give us lunch. Having a small face carved for me at Molinos near Jauja by a woodcarver. He wouldn't take any money.
