Very good Service in everything and very friendly.

I chose my stay at cuzco hotel anawarka excellent hotel. It is not cold inside the rooms and the buffet quite varied. 3 blocks from the square.Super quiet to rest.Mate free coke all day. I also chose the hotel in hot water super central to the train station. Rock rivers very friendly. And the Guides and the Enterprise always watches everything. Super safe and 100% recommended.

Tierra Biru Expeditions: a very good and reliable agency

I want to share our experience with Tierra Biru Expeditions. We contacted from Argentina by email and immediately they provided us with a lot of information and data to be able to assemble our trip. Emerson was in charge of putting together the itinerary and budget that included hotels and all hotel-airport-hotel transfers. We select a 10-day and 9-night itinerary after adding specific options. We started in Lima with a city tour (Lima Colonial and Huaca Puclana including the San Francisco Convent) and a trip to Paracas where we met the Ballestas Islands and then Huacachina where we explored the dunes and sandboarded. Then we went by plane to Cusco from where we did 4 excursions. The first, from the city of Cusco, allowed us to know Coricancha and the ruins of Sacsayhuaman, Qenqo, Puca Pucara and Tambomachay. The second one that allowed us to visit Machu Picchu involved discovering ruins in the Sacred Valley (Pisaq and Ollantaytambo) as we approached the train that took us to Aguas Calientes where we slept and the next morning we visited Machu Picchu and finally took the train to Poroy from where we returned to Cusco by bus. The third was the Rainbow Mountain in quadricycles and the fourth was the Humantay Lagoon. All coordination was carried out by Angelica who sent us the detailed information the day before the excursions. Although we paid an amount before traveling, the remaining balance was paid in Cusco and I must emphasize the patience we had in front of the difficulty we had to pay with the credit card. Also on the last day Angelica and Kelly came to the hotel to ask us how we had been doing and handed a present to each of us. In short, I highly recommend this Tourism Enterprise for the personal treatment, organization and willingness to solve inconveniences that I had throughout our stay in Peru.
