Our trip to Peru was extraordinarily wonderful on every level. We arrived home--healthy and happy--Saturday. After I get a little caught up, I'll give you a call. Just wanted to drop you a quick note to tell you how very high we are about the entire experience. Needless to say, Piero and Julio are fantastic. Thank you for all of your help. — Janet – Peru / Inca trail 2010

Peru was amazing as promised. Seeing Machu Picchu for the first time from the sungate is soooo rewarding after the long hike. I'm so glad we did the hike instead of just riding to it on a bus it made it much more special. Your river guys/gal ROCK!! No surprises there, we felt safe and had a blast on the Apurimac. The bugs do bite:) Little extras like a the Cuervo shots and light sticks were fun additions, the food was great and Pierro pics were enjoyed by all. The market in Aguas Claientes was great and we enjoyed shopping before dinner. We liked our stay in Casa Andina and thought the location between the square and the Artisan market was perfect. The staff was friendly and helpful there. — Shannan - Inca Trail 2007

Dear Bio Bio, I’ve traveled all over the world with well known touring companies and I have to say you guys are the best!! For my 40th birthday, a group of 16 friends headed down to Peru to hike the Inca Trail and visit Machu Picchu. We were thrilled mountain biking and horse back riding were also included. And while we knew the trip would be filled with adventure, we didn’t expect the level of luxury Bio Bio offers. The hotels we stayed in were beautiful. The food tent on the trail is out of this world! And speaking of the food, it was gourmet at every stop. We still can’t figure out how the chefs make such amazing meals on the trail. But I think the best part of Bio Bio is the people you have working with you. Our guides (Piero, Jose, Jairo and Reuben) made the trip! They are fun and great to hang out with, but also really knowledgeable about the local area. And they go above and beyond. Here are two examples. One was in the cloud forest. The guides woke up at 5am to see if the sky was clear. It was, so they woke everyone up and we climbed to the top of the hill to have a view from the top of the world. Plus, the porters had already set up our coffee table so we drank hot coffee and gazed out over the Andes. The second was when we arrived through the sun gate at Machu Picchu. Bio Bio got us there in the late afternoon. While I was skeptical about this at first (most get there at sunrise), it was the best plan! We literally had Machu Picchu to ourselves. No crowds. No lines. Plus, the guides hiked for 4 days with champagne in their packs so we could toast to our accomplishment. I can’t say enough about this trip. Our entire group is now looking at going to Chile together, of course with Bio Bio. With tons of love and admiration, Wendy W. Damonte Evening News Anchor, KTVN-TV Channel 2 Wendy W.
