Cusco Holidays

My daughters and I had a fabulous time in Peru. Our guide Luis Velarde Mora was very knowledgeable and imparted information in an interesting way. He chose delightful places to eat, ensuring we had a wide range of local cuisine to enjoy. We suffered a little due to the altitude and he was very attentive to our needs.
The excursions were paced to our needs, acknowledging the higher altitudes.
I went for Machu Picchu, and found a whole lot more that Peru has to offer!
The holiday is geared for 14 days, but that includes the travelling here - we could have done with an extra day in Cusco and Arequipa to really get the feel of the place. Apart from that, highly recommended.

The Panoramic Peru tour was amazing. I went to see Machu Picchu, which was breathtaking, but Peru is so much more. Lima is a great place to explore and the Miraflores district is safe, easy to navigate and our hotel was only 10 minutes from the Pacific. One of my highlights was Ollantaytambo, an Inca royal estate and fortress in the Sacred Valley. Cusco has a beautiful old town, a friendly atmosphere and a proud Inca heritage. The luxury train to Puno, on Lake Titicaca, was a wonderful way to see beautiful landscapes. Boat trips to the floating islands, constructed entirely of reeds, and the traditional island of Taquile were a wonderful way to explore the lake. Other highlights were seeing condors flying in the stunning Colca Canyon and exploring the old town of Arequipa, which is surrounded by volcanoes.
I loved every minute of this tour and must mention our incredible guide Luis Jussyf Velarde. He went over and above to ensure we all had a wonderful experience. He is passionate about his country and his heritage, very knowledgeable and very kind. The perfect combination!
