    Do it! You won’t regret it. Peru is an amazing country. The food was so fresh and good. The people, friendly and respectful and the scenery... well! What we also loved was that Joanna in the uplands, and Charles and the team in the Jungle had such superb organisation in terms of transport, hotel liaison, and excellent knowledge which meant we could be enjoying each moment.

    When in the jungle I didn't go on the excursions I took the chance to rest. One day off in 16 days was too few with so many early starts and long days. I appreciated seeing so much though needed the recharge more by the end of the trip.
