We had 2 nights in the Amazon at Amazona Posadas. We packed in a lot to very little time. The lodge was beautiful and very comfortable, food was excellent. Our guide was very good but seemed a bit disinterested at times. Very knowledgeable. We then went to Cusco, had a walking tour and cooking class. Our new guide, Albero was excellent. Our cooking class with Jesus was fun, very accommodating. We then moved on to the Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu. Highly recommend the hike at MP Mountain. Our guide was very supportive and patient! Next we then went to the Rainbow Mountain. Unfortunately, though I requested we NOT go to Vinicunca, that is where we were taken. It was very beautiful, but very crowded. I did not understand why we did not go to Palcoyo. Was told later it was not accessible due to landslides. This may have been the case, but was unhappy about the lack of transparency prior to embarking. Overall, we were very happy with our experience and grateful to have completed it before the travel restrictions were set in place for the COVID pandemic.

The hike was tiring but rewarding. Beautiful views. Took us about 3 hours roundtrip. Wear many layers. Our guide was friendly, not great English. The breakfast and lunch were okay, at the same restaurant. No toilet paper in the restroom. The roads were bumpy and the ride was uncomfortable. Our van broke down on the way back and we had to hop on another group’s van. They dropped us off at the town center rather than our hotel, so we had to walk back 12 min.

To be honest, it was my worst trip in Peru, but it was not fault of the organizers. In fact they did their best for me to have enough time on Machu Picchu. Unfortunately, buses to the mountain are overloaded after 9am, and from the mountain in the afternoon. I recommend to spend night in Aguas Calientes and go to Machu Picchu early in the morning.

Very historic city with plenty of architecture to see. Main square is pleasant and a good place to just sit and watch the world- except for the constant, non stop barrage of people trying to sell you something. (There are plenty of other smaller plazas- with less people trying to sell you something.) I realise I come from a fortunate place but when the same person asks you multiple times over the course of a day it wears you down. I was asked 38 times in 45 minutes if I wanted a massage, wanted to buy a picture, wanted my shoes polished (dont wear leather shoes- they just dont stop asking) or wanted to buy a trinket/ day trip/ object of some type. They are warm and friendly people so be courteous at least- but it does annoy after a while. Be prepared. Remember, your a visitor in their country- its not up to them to speak your language. They work hard and do it tough- there is no way the average Peruvian could even contemplate a trip like your on. The architecture is so well restored its hard to see (or know) what is original- but it is very interesting. Make sure you get a tourist pass that lets you visit multiple sites in the region (100 soles)- otherwise you can pay up to 70 soles for a single site.
