Jessica,
I have been meaning to write and let you know what a wonderful trip we had. It was absolutely amazing and we can't thank you enough for all of your help! The Andean Experience Company went out of their way to make our experience the best possible. They even switched a few of our tours so that we could spend the night near Machu Picchu. We wanted to start our day there early in the morning. We were hoping to catch the sunrise, but unfortunately it was raining and cloudy in the morning. However the clouds added a sense of mystery to the ruins, which was equally impressive and they lifted by noon so we had a clear view also. Our tour guide, Amaranta, was so kind and helpful. We enjoyed her company very much and she worked so hard to make sure everything was just the way we wanted it.
It was a dream come true for my mom and even though Peru was not one of the places that I had thought about visiting, I fell in love with the country and its culture. The people in and around Cuzco were extremely hospitable. We were shown such kindness and generosity everywhere we went. You could tell their attitude was a way of life for them not just a show for the tourists. I would definitely return. Machu Picchu was spectacular, but there were so many of amazing sites-Tipon, Saqsayhuaman (which we horseback rode through-horses and Peru-I don't think it could have gotten any more perfect for my mom), Ollantaytambo, and so much more.
It was unforgettable mother-daughter trip! We can't thank you enough for putting it together for us.
Sincerely,
Nikki
