Hi Carmen,

My trip to the Wildlife Centre was by far one of the best experiences that I have ever had, in my life!!

Jose Antonio, our guide, was amazing. I saw such an incredible array of animals that my eyes couldn’t take them all in, and I’ve arrived home with memories that will last a lifetime.

I will certainly recommend Manu Wildlife Centre and Inka Natura to anyone who comes my way.

Many thanks to you for all of your help in making my trip a possibility. Your help is most appreciated.

Kind regards,

Danielle.




Hola Ruby,

We had an absolutely amazing time in Peru! Inkanatura is top notch and we would definitely recommended them to everyone.

Our guide on the Inca Trail was Lobo (his nickname). We exchanged information with him on the last day but we lost the piece of paper with his full name and email address. Could you please email us his full name and email address. He works out of the Cusco office. We would really like to thank him again for the wonderful time we had on the Inca Trail.

Muchas Gracias,
Seth and Miriam Linden




Hi Claudia,

Thanks for recommending the Inca Discovery tour. We had an amazing trip that we will never forget. We wanted to let you know how much we appreciated having David Palomino as our Guide. We felt completely safe, as he was always looking out for our well being for the entire trip. He arranged the trip beautifully so that we could have the best experience possible: reserving the best campsites, scheduling our meals to match our pace, timing our hike so that we could view the Temple of Water with no one else around, and many other thoughtful touches. He encouraged us when we were tired and always congratulated us on our accomplishments. His knowledge of nature and history were impeccable; we learned so much from him. Just as importantly, his respect for the environment and the local culture was always apparent and his perspective enhanced our appreciation of both. The fact that he spoke Quechua gave our experience a level of authenticity that we had not anticipated and made us even more grateful for his presence.

We also wanted to tell you that the Porters were wonderful. Aquilino is not just a cook but a gifted chef. The fact that he could create such amazing dishes on a camping trip is astonishing. We ate better on the trail than we did in Cusco. Juliano did a superb job as Head Porter and was so attentive to our needs. We have never been treated so well or felt so pampered. All of the Porters were kind, respectful, and helpful and we have great appreciation for the work that they do. They made it possible for us to have a trip of a lifetime.

Also thank you for recommending the Manu Biosphere Tour. We're so glad we chose it because we would not have wanted to miss any part of our experience. We also wanted you to know how fortunate we were to have Fiorella as our Guide. She taught us so much about the plants, animals, and people of the Manu area. She was always tuned in to our surroundings and responded with genuine enthusiasm when spotting an animal, whether it be a toucan, a night monkey, or a snake. She went out of her way to give us the best possible opportunities to view the wildlife. For example, she found out that another guide has seen a tapir at the clay lick at 5:00 the previous evening. She got us there by 4:30, minutes before the tapir arrived! She let us borrow a pair of her binoculars, took video of parrots and macaws through her scope, and even helped us learn to use our new camera. She was easy to communicate with and was very attentive in accommodating our interests. Because Fiorella made it such a positive experience for us, we will definitely recommend your Biosphere tour to all our friends.

Thanks again for your services and rest assured that we will be recommending your agency to our friends.

Best Wishes,

Tish Smith and Cari Anderson




Hi Claudia,

We have all arrived safely back to Canada and I wanted to say that we absolutely loved Peru. Thankyou you for the delicious chocolates!!! All the girls were impressed with Inkanatura. When we were in El Chaco, I forgot my charger for my camera at the hotel. The people from the hotel phoned our driver and they sent it by taxi to Pisco.. Our driver was excellent and very accomodatiing. The food at the hotel and on the beach (seafood soup) was amazing.
Machu Picchu was more spectacular in person than I could have imagined. Our guide Juan Carlos was alot of fun and very informative about the vegetation. Please thank him and let him know that Christina finally got her ocean view at La Rosa Nautica. He recommended this restaurant in Lima and we had the best cerviche ever!!!
The jungle....what can I say...William was fabulous and knowledgeable about all the animal life and plant life. We saw 5 species of monkeys and more wildlife than we thought we would. The lodge is beautiful and again the food was fabulous.
As you can see, we really enjoyed our time in Peru. Lake Titikaka was very interesting and so was staying with a family but Puno was my least favorite city.
We loved Cusco and found the restaurant Jacks and bought the same coffee and chocolate that they use at the restaurant.

We also loved Lima...found the Larmar mall on the ocean and managed to buy some fabulous skinny jeans. Thank you for everything ...we LOVED Perur.

take care,

brenda




Hello Claudia,

I wanted to say thank you on behalf of our travelling company - our trip was smooth and well organized, and we really enjoyed it.

In particular I wanted to say that Milagros (Patino ?) from the Cuzco office was extremely helpful and professional - the schedule was very tight with all the trips and flights to/from Cuzco, and Milagros made all the arrangements very effectively, including even Internet check-in to the internal flight.

Also we enjoyed Shila's tours in Lima a lot, she is a "pro" and we learned many new things about your exciting country!

Best regards,
Igor Bakman




I just had to write and comment on my experience into Manu National Park. It was the wildlife trip of a lifetime. Our group saw everything we set out to see and so much more--jaguars, tapirs, caiman, monkeys/tamarinds, giant river otters, capybaras, peccaries, snakes, frogs, tarantulas, over 150 birds.

Our guide, Marlene, was so amazingly knowledgeable, personable, witty, funny, but most of all enthusiastic. It was so apparent that her job is a labor of love. Couldn't have asked for anyone better suited to our needs. The local indigenous staff was also great. Our boat drive, Dionicio, with his "eagle" eyes, made it possible for us to see not one, but two jaguars in one day. Give that man a raise.

I was the only one in our group to request a vegetarian meal and was delightfully accommodated. The food was abundant and wonderful. It was such a wonderful trip. I would recommend, without reservation, Marlene and InkaNatura to anyone looking for a true jungle experience. My only disappointment with the whole trip was the airplane not working due to weather and/or politics. Because Manu Wildlife Center is so wonderful and such a great place to finish up the tour it is a shame to only have
one night there. We were fortunate enough to be able to hook up with another guide and spend an extra day there for extra money. I would have liked to have know via an email before I arrived in Peru that there was a chance the itinerary was going to change.

Thanks again. It was wonderful

Dear Sir/Madam:

My colleagues and I have just returned from a holiday in Peru. Part of our trip was to Manu Wildlife Centre and booked through yourselves.

I would like to thank Carolina for her very professional service in booking our trip and for her help in booking our hotel accommodation in Cusco. She is a credit to your company.

Whilst in Manu our guide was Fiorella. She proved to be a very knowledgeable and capable guide and once again was a credit to your company.

My colleagues and I would not hesitate to recommend Inkanatura to fellow travellers. Thank you all for a most enjoyable stay in Peru

kind Regards.

Hello Carmen:

Mario was an excellent driver. I only wish I could speak Spanish because he also knows quite a bit about birds. I am learning to send pictures over the email so I hope you will receive some soon.
Inkanatura was a great experience from all parts. We fell in love with Peru. I hope to go again to Manu, would like to spend another week at the Wildlife Center.

Thank you for everything.

I wanted to let you know what a wonderful tour my husband and I had to Manu with our guide, Ronnie Collado. We have been on several guided tours with other companies, but Ronnie made this trip perfect in every way. He is extremely knowledgeable on every aspect of the flora and fauna and culture of Peru. His enthusiasm, kindness, thoughtfulness, and care made a trip of a lifetime possible for two older folks who were not in the best physical condition. His mastery of the English language was also sincerely appreciated. The other Inkanatura guides who assisted us driving the van and the boat were also outstanding. Long days of traveling, intense heat and bugs were of no real bother because all these gentlemen took such good care of us. Please feel free to use this letter as a glowing reference for Inkanatura to all future visitors.

Sincerely,

Ellen and Mike Rembis


Good afternoon;

We recently had the pleasure of traveling to Peru and to Manu Wildlife Center for 4 days. Michael, your Cusco facilitator was absolutely a delight. He was personable, informative, professional and took very good
care of us. I forgot a flashlight and he offered his very own! I was so touched by this gesture!

Jose Antonio was our guide in Manu. We couldn't have asked for anyone
better! He was extremely knowledgable of the wildlife, plant life and the
Amazon ecosystem. He was pleasant, professional and extremely enthusiastic.
We felt very well cared for while under his direction. Manu was probably
the highlight of our trip and we will never forget it.

Michael and Jose Antonio were wonderful and I just wanted you to know!

Sincerely,

Pam Volberding



Dear Isabelle,

I want to let you know how helpful has been in planning our trip to Peru. She has been outstanding in communication and recommendations. Isabelle answered questions immediately and helped us feel comfortable to do business from the United States. She is a great representative to your company and know we will do future business with inkanatura. Please pass this on to her boss in Peru and let him know that she has been a valuable asset to your company and we appreciate everything she has done to make our trip some memorable. Thank you again and we look forward to going to your beautiful country. Thank you to Isabelle for being so wonderful!

Sincerely,

Judy Dietel


Dear Isabelle,

We are now safely back at home, even though we wouldn't have minded to spend some more months in your wonderful country. We really liked all what we experienced.

Thank you, Isabelle, very much indeed for having organized our trip so well. All went smoothly and according to the schedule. Negative surprises - no. Positive surprises - a lot.

During our ecotravels in many corners of the world we have always had extraordinary good guides. We have been truly satisfied with everyone we have had the privilege to learn to know, but at the same token we have to say that Monica is the top.

She is absolutely professional, an unbelievably skilled spotter, and full of knowledge and energy. She had a nice, gentle sense of humor and she kept everything and everybody in control. She will be successful in whatever she does, big time.

Well, thank you once again, and may we wish you all the very best to all of you out there at InkaNatura!

Warmest regards,
Peter Lindqvist and Jesse Lindqvist



Dear Carmen,

I am back from my wonderful 10 days in Peru. The highlight of the trip was the Manu Wildlife Center and I am sure this is mainly because of the excellent guide we were provided. Jose Antonio (Padilla?) was a true gem and he made the experience very special. Your company is very lucky to have such a person on the staff.

I will highly recommend your services to anyone I know that is making a trip to Peru, and if I am lucky enough to return, will seek you out again myself..

Thank you,
Norma Tallon
a very satisfied customer

So thanks for arranginf everything so beautifully and I will definitely recommend Inkanatura Travel for people planning to on a trip to the Amazon.

Best regards,
Katherine Goode


I writing to thank you for our wonderful trip. We are now home, and we are reflecting on what a memorable time we had.
Your ideas were wonderful, and the arrangements you provided for us was just terrific. Our stay at Manu was an amazing experience, and a highlight of the trip. Our guide Percy was just terrific, and the other couple that were with us, were just lovely.
I would be happy to write a formal recommendation for you to use for other travelers. This trip was truly an experience of a life time, and we feel very fortunate to have found you and to have worked with you.
If you like, I could give you more specific feedback about each of the aspects of our trip, that you might find helpful in planning other trips for other clients.
But generally, the trip was just fantastic !!!!! We enjoyed each and every one of our adventures.
