Anywhere Peru made our dream 38th-anniversary trip come true!
The best way to celebrate our anniversary...
If you're thinking about Peru (and with so many amazing places in a single country, why aren't you?), you may be wondering whether you should work through a travel agency, and who to go with. This was a 38th-anniversary trip, and our first time in Peru and South America; we wanted to see and do as much as we could in just under 3 weeks. We had previously had a great experience with Anywhere Costa Rica, so we were eager to see what Anywhere Peru could offer. They exceeded all of our expectations.
The highlights of this trip...
We visited Peru and the Sacred Valley at the height of tourist season, so there were definitely tourists about but it didn't feel jam-packed. With our guide Natalie, we toured archaeological sites at Ollantaytambo and Pisac, and we saw quite a bit of the countryside in between. This is pretty much a must-see for anyone visiting this area of the country — it puts Machu Picchu into a larger context.
What I’ll remember the most about this vacation...
We stayed at Tambo del Inka, which is a top-rated luxury resort in Urubamba. Its architecture and decor are reflective of the Andean culture. But if you're looking for something with truly local flavor, this would not be it, so it depends on what you like. That said, we loved it and would go back in a heartbeat. We spent a couple of days nestled in gorgeous surroundings relaxing and acclimating to the high altitude. The grounds, the room, the restaurant (fantastic food and by far the best and most varied breakfast I have ever experienced) were all wonderful. Thank you, Cesar, Percy, Rafael, Alexandra, Joel and others who made our trip so memorable. The level of service is unparalleled.
