Culture,Wildlife, Adventure and New Friends
A week's trip to visit Lima, the Sacred Valley in Peru, Machu Pichu andCusco. A second week visiting Quito in Ecuador followed by a week on a small boat touring the Islands of the Galapagos
We travelled with Veloso Travel. Their organisation was superb and we had a good balance of interest and relaxation.
They gave valuable information before travelling.
Their guides were particularly good in Peru and we learned a huge amount about the Inca civilisation.
The Galapagos was a full on holiday, but so worthwhile. A certain level of fitness is needed, but crew on the boat Beluga ensured passenger safety at all times and were charming and helpful. The cabins were very comfortable with en suite facilities.

It was our pleasure to help you discover Costa Rica, thank you for sharing your thoughts on your wonderful trip.
Excellent service. Organised a holiday taylor made for us.
Perfectly organised
We had a tailor made family tour to Mexico for 10 days and we wanted to fit a lot in so it was an involved schedule. The Velosa team took a great deal of time and effort with us to ensure the tour met our needs and it fully exceeeded our expectations. All Velosas's representatives were approachable and knowledgeable and we were particularly thankful to Paula and Victoria for their input with our itinerary and flight confirmations.
All transfers were on time and the guides booked for us in Mexico were knowledgeable and could not do enough to help.

A most worthwhile trip
We visited Bolivia & Peru, learned a lot about Inca culture, current politics and culture of the two countries. We had knowledgeable and friendly guides who spoke very good English and were enthusiastic about their country.

Trip of a Lifetime
The motivation for our trip was to hike the Inca Trail and experience the delights and wonders of Machu Picchu. However, my wife and I could never have anticipated the additional delights of Peru. Seeing the condors up close and personal in Colca Canyon and experiencing life on the floating islands on Lake Titikaka were just two examples of the additional pleasures we shared. Our favorite city was Cusco - a lively and bustling place, with good quality food and wonderful history. Although we were at an extremely high altitude, we acclimatizeand quickly - the sheer scale of the Andes was breathtaking.
The people are some of the friendliest and hospitable that one could ever wish to meet and although life is a daily challenge for a lot of the people, one can always expect a warm smile and a friendly greeting.
Hiking the Inca Trail was probably the mist physically demanding undertaking we have ever done, but the reward of standing at the Sun Gate and gazing down on Machu Picchu was worth every bead of perspiration over the four days it took to arrive.
If Peru isn't on your 'bucket list', then put it at the top right now - you won't regret it!

What a great trip you had and a wonderful endorsement of Peru, we agree it should be near the top of all bucket lists! Well done on completing the Inca Trail, it certainly is a great challenge.
Veloso Tours was recommended by friends, who also did the Peru trip. From the first enquiry to their office to discuss our proposed itinerary to the receipt of the final agenda and travel documents, the service we received was impeccable throughout.
Veloso offered excellent value for money and the details and recommendations for the trip were set out in easy to follow guidelines. The guides at each stage of the trip, engaged by Veloso, were very professional, knowledgable, patient and courteous.
We would recommend Veloso without reservation for anyone, who wants to experience a trip of a lifetime.

Many thanks for your very kind words, we take great pleasure in helping to arrange memorable trips to Latin America and hope to be able to assist you and your friends and family again soon.
Wonderful holiday in Peru and Bolivia
We travelled direct to Lima for two nights, then flew to La Paz for a week in Bolivia, including Sucre, Potosi silver mines and mint, the Sunday Market at Tarambuco, and Copacabana on Lake Titicaca. We returned to Peru by land, around the lake and visited Uros Islands, the Colca Canyon, Sacred Valley, Machu Picchu, Cusco and the Rainforest near Puerto Maldonado. We had excellent guides most of whom spoke excellent English, and learned a huge amount about the Inca culture, and the present day problems of Peru and Bolivia.
