A very good holiday. A real adventure. (Mike & family, UK - Galapagos, Ecuador, Bolivia & Peru) Thanks for putting together such a wonderful trip for us. We are hard pushed now to decide between it and Borneo as our trip of a lifetime, which is ideal! All elements of the adventure were blissful, with a good balance of time between city, jungle and mountain trek. The highlights have to be the third day of the Inca trail as we walked the pass between a number of mountains as an eagle soared overhead, and spending time with the giant otters at Lake Sandoval and getting to know their routines of morning fishing and afternoon basking and playing. Every stage was enhanced by the absolutely amazing guides ….. knowledgeable, committed to preserving the environment, enthusiastic. In the Cusco/ Andes section we were privileged to be guided by Juan Carlos Duenas who is one of life's really special people. We had an exemplary team to support us through the demanding trek - cheerful porters, excellent cheffing, and a waiter called Lucio who served every meal wearing white gloves. We were quite taken aback at the level of luxury they achieved at 4000m. Although we remembered this fondly from Borneo, we were struck again by how smoothly all the connections ran, and by the pacing of the itinerary you put together, which catered for post-flight fatigue and combined adrenaline rushes with welcome respites. We thought of your love of Cusco and agree completely that it is an amazing city. We're glad you advised us to spend some time there, and we also had a great time in Lima. The accommodation throughout was cosy and welcoming. Miraflores was a good district to stay in and we were lucky enough to catch a rare sunset over the ocean there on our final night. Other travellers might enjoy some more time in Lima. We would have welcomed an extra day there. Our only negative experience was of the flight transfer in Miami. You may wish to advise clients to take another route wherever possible as American immigration caused such substantial delays both ways that we risked missing our connection, and endured more stress than on any other bit of the trip! (Holly & Adam Furneaux Broughton, Cambridge) We had an absolutely amazing time and we both want to say thank you for organising a fantastic holiday for us. ... in the Galapagos, we did see whale sharks and orcas (which Paul was lucky enough to catch on film, he's boring everybody with that picture). And finally the Inca trail, that was difficult but well worth the effort, the vistas were out of this world and as the guide told us, the Inca trail takes your breath away (literally in our cases!). We would definitely recommend the trip we took to others (and have already recommended Aqua-Firma to several people already) and for any other holidays of a similar nature, we would use your services again. Once again, thank you for a superb holiday. (Louise Bell, Paris - travelled to Peru, Ecuador & the Galapagos) What more can I add? Except that you forgot the humpback whales (yes - another photo) that we saw on the first day in the Galapagos, as well as dancing with sea lions... An awesome trip, well organised.. All we had to do was show up. My sincere thanks... (Paul Bell, Paris - travelled to Peru, Ecuador & the Galapagos) We had an amazing time, thank you very much.
