I just want to thank all Lima Tours staff for the wonderful trip we had. Everything was perfect.It is hard to pick only one place to say we like the most. Each place we have visited has something that makes it unique. Specially, with the information provided by the guides. All were great!Our journey started in Lima, a huge city with its contrasts. On the first day we had enough time to take a walk around Miraflores from our hotel to Larcomar Mall.Next day during the tour, we had the privilege of seeing the Sunday Easter parade at Plaza de Armas in front of the Cathedral. The carpets made of flowers were beautiful! We walked through the historical center, we visited the Convento, Casa de Aliaga and the Larco Museum with our guide who made the visits more interesting.We traveled to Pisco to take the small plane to see the Nazca Lines. Seeing the lines was a dream that came true. The hotel was great, the room view of the sunset was epic. Hundreds of photos taken.Next day, Islas Ballestas. I have never seen so many birds at the same time. How rich the reserve is!After that, we enjoyed our free time at the beautiful hotel and had lunch at a local restaurant in Paracas with our guide and driver, we went back to Lima. One more opportunity to taste Peruvian culinary.The following day we arrived in the picturesque Cusco city. We visited archeological sites and the Cathedral. Our guide was very conscious of our struggle to breath in such high altitude, so we walked slowly with frequent stops. Perfect!Early in the morning, we travel to Ollantaytambo to take the Vistadome train to Aguas Calientes. The train ride is a must to do in Peru.In Aguas Calientes, we met our guide who took us to a bus ride until Machu Picchu.Wow! Machu Picchu is the highlight of the trip and it was saved to the end, now I can understand why. It is hard to express in words the emotion felt when we saw the citadel at the first time. Love it! Our guide new all the best spots to take photos where didn?t have too many tourists around. All explanation given to us just made the tour more interesting. I am still thinking how ancient Peruvian people were so smart, how they knew so much!!Too soon we need to go back home, but our Peru trip will be in our memories forever.Thank you!
