We began our tour in Peru on Lake Titicaca visiting the Uros floating islands the incredible hospitable Aymara people on Amantani Island. After taking a bus from Puno to Cusco and seeing amazing ruins along the way, we met up with our guide and another couple for the Machu Picchu by Train tour. Great beginning to our adventure together in Peru!

Our long-anticipated exploration of pre-European Andean culture was more informative and enjoyable than ever we could have imagined. Two very knowledgeable and agreeable guides made it so. Breathtaking scenery was the norm. The highlight and great surprise of the trip was the Colca Canyon. The sheer effort involved in cultivating such seemingly inhospitable land is awe inspiring.

Months and months ago, a couple from Chicago decided to take a vacation. That guy wanted to take this girl on a special, unforgettable trip to celebrate a landmark occasion: her 30th birthday. Seeing this girl was never one to make a fuss over the day of her birth, it was quite a surprise when she agreed. With very little muss and fuss, the city dwellers pinpointed Peru as their destination of choice. After months of planning with travel guru Sullivan of Adventure Life, the two packed their bags and headed to South America for an experience they would never forget...

An amazing adventure paragliding over Lima, a wedding ceremony in Cuzco, hiking to the top of the Andes, Machu Pichu, and sailing Lake Titicaca.

Our idea for this trip started with seeing Machu Picchu, but soon, trekking the Inca Trail became integrally important to the purpose of the trip. Dave & I are in our late 50’s. We hike, but we\'re not athletes. Once we decided on the trek itinerary, “while we’re there, what else can we see ?’, added Manu & Lake Titicaca, and they were great, too. The entire trip was a fabulous experience, and we were very pleased with everything Adventure Life provided.

This journal is co-created by Nate and Michele. We planned our trip to Peru over Thanksgiving 2011 to celebrate our 1-year wedding anniversary and it was truly magical. We share a passion for travel and seek destinations that are both off the beaten path and which offer a winning combination of great food, beautiful scenery, adventure and amazing people. Peru did not disappoint.

With Kassandra\'s knowledge of the area and our requirements and dates, We felt like our Peru trip was tailored to our exact liking and it made for a fantastic, fabulous, wonderful, exciting and culturally and educationally informative vacation. No other travel company comes close to the private, tailored trip like we experienced. With Ashley\'s communication and cooperation and all the necessary documents needed and received on time made for a flawless and smooth trip. Many thanks to all the staff at Adventure Life and in Peru for making this a great comfortable travel experience, your knowledge and expertise was especially appreciated.

Wow! What a trip to Peru. I\'m glad I hand wrote my journal and I\'m hoping I can share with everyone. My trip to Peru and Machu Picchu was beyond spectacular.

Who knew that trekking the Inca Trail alone with only a guide, and an entourage of 4 porters and 1 cook could be so fabulous?
