    Peru is an incredible country to experience. Full of the grandeur of past civilizations as well as the cultural excitement of today's
    world. With so many things to see and do, I wholeheartedly recommend Diana at Travel Andes. Her knowledge of the country made
    travel effortless for our group of eight. From Machu Picchu to Spanish lessons to home stays to transportation, Diana handled every
    detail of the trip so our time could be spent absorbing the wonders of this enchanting land.

We were very impressed with Peru - a beautiful
country full of natural and historical wonders: Colca
Canyon, lake Titicaca, Machu Picchu, Nazca,
Ballestas islands - the list can be continued. And
ancient cities such as Arequipa and Cuzco are truly
magnificent...
The schedule of our visit was very tight - we did not
stay two nights in a row in one hotel, but I wish we
had more time to visit other places.
Thank you again for helping us to arrange this great
trip. I would recommend Diana to anybody as a great
travel agent who never hesitates to make an extra
effort so her clients enjoy the trip and do not worry
about technicalities.

    We started planning our trip to Peru in January
    2008. When we checked a tour package with
    another agency, we found that it was too expensive.
    Through a mutual friend of ours we were introduced
    to Diana, the tour operator of Travelandes. We let
    Diana know that we would like to cover Lima,
    Cusco, Machu Picchu and the Sacred Valley of
    Incas with the least cost and in a short span of 8
    days. Diana worked with us in planning the trip and
    came out with a cost which was far below the first
    packaged deal.  After having planned the trip, Diana
    and her colleagues, Edwin and Helen, did all the
    leg work for all the local tours by booking the air
    tickets and doing the preliminary arrangements.
    Diana arranged for us to stay with local  families in
    Cusco and Lima. The familieswelcomed us with a
    warm heart and with enthusiasm which made us
    feel  welcomed.  Diana made it a point to check on
    us every day to make sure that everything was being
    done as planned.The local tour guides were very
    professional.

    Edwin received us at the Cusco airport, took us to our lodge and made sure that we were picked up and dropped off for all the
    tours.Machu Picchu was the highlight of the tour for which we took the backpacker train.  In Lima Helen received us at the airport
    and took us to the lodge. Miraflores was absolutely gorgeous and we enjoyed the beach and the city tour.  Kudos to Diana for the
    wonderful job.  Thank you

Let me tell you, we had a fabulous trip to Peru!!  My
entire family enjoyed the whole trip, from Machu
Picchu to Cusco to the beach at Colan, etc., etc.
And I must tell you, your helpful guidance & local
staff were a great part of our enjoyable time.  Edwin
& Marlene were wonderful!!  They went way over &
beyond the call of duty in many instances.  They
were prompt & very helpful right away on Feb. 16;
got us lined up & off to the right start at the Sonesta
& with Gabriel.  And then they continued to check up
on us . . and work with us throughout the whole trip.  
Please thank them - - again, from us!  You were very
attentive to all of our needs.  Gabriel's Yucay Trek
was just right ("off the beaten path"); our entire
family really, really liked Gabriel (and Yucay!).  The
private tour of the Sacred Valley was also very, very
good.  In a nutshell, I would use your services again
and again.  And I will recommend TravelAndes to
many of our friends.  Keep it up!  So, we will be in
touch prior to our next trip to Peru or South America.  
Thank you, Diana!

    Cusco and Machu Picchu were a marvelous
    experience!! The tourist service was wonderful!  
    The tourist guide was very professional, the bus
    was very comfortable and the hotel excellent!   
    The visit started with the Temple of the Sun, the
    principal religious center of the Incas. Afterwards,
    we visited the astonishing colonial Cathedral
    which had more than 400 paintings of the school
    of Cuzco.  From here we went by bus to visit the
    four ruins which were located at less than 8
    kilometers from Cuzco.  These included
    Sacsayhuamán, famous for its enormous rocks;
    Q´enqo, Tambomachay and Puka Pukara, all
    splendid!   And Machu Picchu, I think that the
    photographs will show all that words cannot say!
    And we can summarize it well with one word -
    UNIQUE!
