Molly Delamarter
(Manco Multisport, May 2008)We felt very supported as we planned for this trip.
I was very impressed with the accommodations, even the tents, believe it or not, seemed very clean (and bug proof) and it was nice to feel as though things were well planned. Each of the places we stayed were very welcoming and prepared for us.
Our guide Juan Barrios went above and beyond. Starting off by telling us that he was, "our guide, our bodyguard, and our friend" made him instantly likeable, and then his experience made this trip look effortless from our standpoint.
The food was exceptional. The cooks were VERY professional, and we were continually surprised at the variety and wonderful flavors that they provided.
I have never traveled with a tour company before, and the things that surprised me the most were all of the special extras that we could not have anticipated. A short tour here or there that lent insight to the bigger picture as we approached Machu Picchu, the guide's personal thoughts and experiences having lived in the midst of an evolving story of the past, and the feeling of camaraderie as you experience the challenges of this type of high-altitude adventure with your fellow tour-mates. We had an absolute blast!
