Testimonials about our service

Hi Ruby -

I just wanted to let you know that we had a wonderful time at Sandoval Lake Lodge. The staff - particularly our guide Oscar - were so fantastic and helpful. Oscar was so knowledgeable and shared so much information. He was great! The rest of the staff - Cynthia, Vladimir, Diego - went out of their way to make sure we had a great visit.

We'll be recommending Sandoval Lake Lodge to all of our friends and family and hope to come back to visit again soon.

Thank you!
Jennifer

Hi Claudia,

I just came back from my most invigorating and enriching vacation and it was all made possible by Inkanatura Travel. The first part of our journey was spent at Sandoval Lodge. Even the hike into the rainforest was exciting - add to that early morning boat rides to see river otters, late night excursions to see black caimans, and mid-afternoon hikes to see parrots, butterflies and scorpions. But there was also time to lounge in the hammocks and eat great food. Our guide, Leon, was very knowledgeable and kind.

We then flew to Cusco where we were met at the airport by an Inkanatura representative who gathered our luggage and had a driver to take us to our hotel. She got us checked in and then told us all about the city - what sites to explore, restaurants to visit and tours to take. When we decided to visit the Sacred Valley, she made all the arrangements.

The next part of the adventure was to hike the Inca Trail. We chose the four day/three night Classic Inca Trail which provided a more leisurely hike and more time to explore. Our guide, Lobo, met with us the night before leaving and prepared us for the hike by explaining what each day would involve. The tents and sleeping bags provided by Inkanatura were immaculate and comfortable. We had our own toilet tent and it was meticulously maintained. Our meals in the dining tent rivaled a four-star restaurant. There's no doubt that the hike was difficult especially so because we were four women over fifty. But what made it so rewarding was that at the end of each day's hike, when we finally made it into camp, our porters lined up and cheered us in!

Our guide, Lobo, was patient and encouraging and made us laugh. He knew the best places to take pictures and shared a wealth of knowledge about the Incan Empire.

We took the Vistadome train back to Cusco where we were once again met at the train station by a representative of Inkanatura who got us to our hotel and then returned the next day to take us back to the airport. She stayed with us to make sure everything was in order.

I would highly recommend Inkanatura Travel to handle all your arrangements in Peru.

Thanks,

As seven girls listened eagerly to their guide at the Sun Gate, they knew a Bucket List item lay just around the corner. After 4 days of hiking, we were finally going to be able to set our eyes upon Machu Picchu! When we climbed the steps and looked into the valley, we all cried. Not only was it a breathtaking moment, but it culminated a wonderful journey.

InkaNatura is solely responsible for the incredible experience of the Inca Trail. The service was so much more impressive than we even dreamed when we booked the trip! We were fed better on the 4-day hike than we are at home! Our porters were so friendly, professional, encouraging, fun, and amazing! We all agreed, we never want to go hiking and/or camping again without our great guys! Thank you so much, Fellas!

We saw so many beautiful sites, amazing ruins, and learned so much en route to Machu Picchu, by Day 2 we already whispered amongst each other that we'd be completely content with the trip even if we never reached Machu Picchu. THAT'S how well InkaNatura took care of us and made us feel!

A special and heartfelt THANK YOU goes to our wonderful guide, Juan Carlos. Your knowledge, your caring, your professionalism, and your personality MADE our experience. You felt like a big brother right from the start - you made us feel safe, you really looked out after us, you knew EVERYTHING, and we bragged about you to everyone! We feel blessed that we were paired up with YOU as our guide. Thank you, thank you, and thank you again for everything!!

InkaNatura, you have an absolutely outstanding service going on - I'm recommending your company to anyone and everyone! Thank you for giving me and six of my friends an experience that will forever be engraved in our memories and heart.

Inka Natura and our agent Sandra,

Let me start by saying how wonderful an experience my girlfriend and I had in Peru. A very exciting, diverse and beautiful country. We did not know what to expect when boarded our plane in route to Peru. We knew 3 days deep in the Amazon and 4 days in the highlands of Cusco and a day on each end in the beach city of Lima.
What we didn't know was what laid ahead. We were so glad we picked a reputable company like Inka Natura and lucky enough to have a knowledgeable agent like Sandra. We were so impressed that every moment of our trip was as described in our intinerey that we put together months in advance. From the transports from the airport to hotel back to the airport, and the excursions that we planned like River Rafting, a train ride to Machu Picchu and our 3 day adventure in the Amazon at the Heath River Eco Lodge.
It was all perfect, never a doubt of who would be taking care of us, and they were always on time waiting for us. In the Amazon we fished for, caught and ate Piranha, saw the Machaw parrot clay licks, took motorized canoe rides past families of Camins, took many hikes with our wonderful and professional guide Paul.

The lodge at Heath River was great, the staff, the food, and the rooms were much better than we would have ever expected.
In Cusco, after many Coco teas and adjusting to the altitude (approx. 12-18 hours) we went river rafting under snow capped peaks of the Andes.

Took tours of the scared valley of the Inkas, ate at many Peruivan restaurants and drank even more Cusquena's (beer of Cusco region), Pisco sours and meet many of friendly locals. Our experience was even more memorable when I proposed to my girlfriend Nicole at the lost city of Machu Picchu on our 2nd to last day in Peru. How could she say NO? Machu Picchu was the pinnacle of the trip. Indescribable by words or photos, you must see it in person to believe it's beauty, mystery, and size......What a trip!!!

I would recommend Peru to everyone and anyone who is thinking about going should contact Inka Natura for help with all the planning and booking of flights, hotels, tours, etc. We will definitely be contacting them on our next trip to South America. Thank you, thank you, thank you to Sandra and Inka Natura. Peru will always hold a special place in our memories and heart.

P.S. We get married on May 15, 2010 in our home town of Paso Robles, CA!!!

Talk with you soon,

Nicole & Donovan

Buenas noches Angela María,

quería aprovechar para agradecerte todas las gestiones de éste magnífico viaje que acabo de terminar... (aún no tengo mi mochila que se ha extraviado entre tantos vuelos).

El servicio y trato ofrecido por cada una de las personas ha sido impagable, y no querría olvidarme a nadie:
a) María la coordinadora,
b) Julio el conductor ida/vuelta a Cachora
c) Sergio, el guía con quíen he aprendido de la vida de Perú, de los Incas, de la flora y he disfrutado de largas conversaciones.
d) Julie, la masajista, quien me ha restablecido y preparado para cada una de las jornadas, además de charlar animadamente en los campamentos.
e) Sixto, el cocinero, quien me ha deleitado con platos sabrosos peruanos con unos medios tan sencillos, le he otorgado el título de Cocinero Mayor del Imperio Inca.
f) Reli, el asistente de cocinero, quien nos tenia la mesa siempre dispuesta, nos servia con sus guantes blancos y nos describía con todo detalle los platos que deleitabamos.
g) Y los 2 arrieros, Cayetano y no recuerdo ahora el otro nombre, que han montado/ desmontado los campamentos y nos han llevado todo el material a la velocidad del rayo, ya que algunos días hemos ido rapidito y les hemos puesto el trabajo algo dificil.

Creo haber completado correctamente el informe que me entregó Maria al finalizar el viaje, pero no quería perder la oportunidad de escribirtelo a tí personalmente.
Gracias de nuevo y espero poder disfrutar en el futuro de una nueva experiencia con INKA NATURA.

Saludos cordiales.
Belén
