TESTIMONIALS FROM OUR CLIENTS:
Date: Mon, 16 Apr 2007
From our group to yours, we would like to greatly thank Karina and Orlando
for their excellent work and the dedicated service they provided to our
program. We are well aware of the seasonal mishaps such as mud and rock
slide along with long distances between villages and the occasional road
constriction can not be avoided in any country.
For Orlando, we had no worries and we know we were safe at all times,
Gracias Amigo!
For Karina, you were an excellent interpreter and well versed in the local
history and customs, y también amiga, Muchísima Gracias!!

Debbie & I just finished the Gran Vilaya Tour July 21 to 27. It was
amazing . . . truly the trekking highlight of our Peru Trip. It was
spectacular. Alicia, Nelson, Salina & Juan treated us like
royalty . . . something we never anticipated but definitely enjoyed!
The history of the Chachapoyas people in this area was fascinating
and especially the "lost" ruins along the way. They added an
authenticity to the trip and provided a great context for the age,
size and culture of Kuelap. The trip is definitely off the beaten
path as we saw NO other adventurers until we reached Kuelap.
Again . . . the trip was excellent and we are highly recommending
this trip to friends who are interested in exploring Peru.

Hola Tina,
We want to thank you so much for an absolutely wonderful, no, a perfect
tour experience in Peru.
On a satisfaction scale of 1 to 10 both of us agree that it rates as a 10!
For us we did not even feel like this was a tour in the sense of being tourists
in a foreign land. Yes, we did takes tours of museums in Northern Peru including
Sipan, Sican, and Tucume, and they were most interesting and informative.
But when we reached the mountains in the Department of Amazonas, that's when
the sense of deep immersion into life in this part of the world really began. We felt
like welcomed guests among friends and family. Everyone seemed so open to including
us in their lives and their culture. And that is an experience that is priceless.
As for you and especially our guide Alicia, every aspect of the tour experience
was so well organized. As they say, everything went off without a hitch, and that
includes the adventures of riding mules up and down incredibly steep mountainous
terrain, camping in gorgeous valleys and mountaintop settings, heat, cold, frost, mud,
rain, wind, the total package. Plus all the other people involved (Celina the cook,
Nelson our mule guide, and the drivers Felix, Wilder, and Edda and her cousin
Raquel in Lima) added to the joy of our experience. Indeed we made many friends.
This must be an integral part of ecotourism at its best.
We regret that we were not able to meet you in person during this trip,
but that only means that we have that experience to look forward to on
our next excursion to Peru. Hopefully it will be sooner rather than later.
Muchisimas gracias por todo,
Catherine & Martin Newman

Hii Tina,
We thought that we would send you an email today.
We are finally back into the swing of things after a long trip home.
Our plane was delayed in Lima for over 2 hours in order to wait for 6 people from Brazil .
Because of that we missed our connection, and then we were booked on a flight that we
had to wait 5 hours for in LA.
Next time I am going to take Continental direct to Lima, even if it does cost almost twice
as much as the Alaska/LAN flight. Oh well, live and learn.
Other than that---we had a marvelous time. I want to thank Karina and Julio for getting us
around safely and for making the trip so full of interesting things.
We were really impressed with Karina's attention to detail, and her really in-depth
knowledge.
We are going through our photos and marvelling at the amazing things we saw.
We want you to know that you run a really first rate organization.
I am going to do my best to get people from Seattle to go to Chachapoyas
and travel with your service.
Of all the the places we visited, we talk about Chachapoyas the most.
Our friends can't wait for our "slide show"!
We both feel that we have really made some new friends in Chachapoyas,
and we will return someday.
Thanks again,
Mark and Karen McInerney
