Hola Fred and Eder! We had an amazing time with you and the rest of the crew while hiking the Inca Trail. Our hike was back in January when the rockslide blocked the Sun Gate entrance, but it was an unforgettable experience nonetheless. Please see our blog at morrissmithtravels.wordpress.com for our story about the trail and also more complements about you!
Visiting Amazonia may not be for everyone, but we were willing to rough it a bit and SAS delivered an experience that will stay with us for a lifetime.
We engaged SAS Travel in Cusco for an 8-day tour to Manu National Park in Peruvian Amazonia for December 2011. All arrangements were made online before our arrival. Our family party of four was joined in Cusco by a Canadian couple, SAS naturalist/guide Herbert, cook Renaldo, driver Guillermo, and in Atelaya by local boatman Milton and crewman Luiz. Herbert is an exceptionally knowledgeable naturalist guide; Renaldo is a first class wilderness cook. We felt quite safe in the hands of Guillermo, Milton, and Luiz on treacherous roads and rain swollen rivers. We would definitely use SAS again and would recommend them to friends.
It takes a full day and then some for the drive from Cusco to the Alto Madre de Dios River at Atelaya. The single lane, unpaved road is not for the faint of heart, especially in the rainy season, which was just beginning when we were there. Our driver was very conscientious, however, allowing us to enjoy the cloud forest clinging to vertical mountainsides without our being too concerned with the ruts, washouts, and streams rushing over the road. From Atelaya, the trip was on a long and narrow, locally built wooden riverboat, two seats abreast, with a canvas canopy to protect from rain and sun, a 60HP outboard in the stern and an extra in the bow (just in case). Overnight accommodations were in small bamboo or canvas-sided huts raised off the ground on stilts. Tasty and creative meals were prepared in a dining hut or, for lunches, on the boat. Because we were there for Christmas, Renaldo prepared a Christmas cake in a double boiler over a gas flame. Given that all of the food, water, and other supplies had to be carried on the boat with us, the quality and variety of the meals was excellent. After dinner, we the guests would play cards by lantern or candle light with Herbert, Renaldo, Milton, and Luiz. The camaraderie was welcoming, despite language limitations.
We chose the 8-day tour because we wanted to get into the Reserved Zone of the park. It was a good choice. We saw wildlife along the river, from jungle trails, from hides and blinds, and flying overhead. We saw giant river otters up close, black caiman, six species of monkey, and well over 100 different birds. At the Blanquillo clay lick we stopped counting macaws at 75. They were surrounded by hundreds of smaller parrots and parakeets. We spent the night at a blind overlooking a tapir lick, where individual mattresses were laid out for us, each with its own mosquito netting. We saw seven individual tapirs over the course of the night. Huge bats were flying so close to the blind that one of us was slapped in the face by a bat wing. There were fresh jaguar tracks on the trail. The day we entered the Reserved Zone, the park register at the ranger station showed that a small group had left that morning, leaving us as the only party in the Zone. To say we were pleased with our trip would be a huge understatement.
My wife and I just returned from most amazing trekking with SAS travel on lares Inca's Trail ,We were both celebrating our 60th birthday on this trip. Our guide Isaac was fantastic. He share with us about not only Inca's history but also people who live on high mountain life and their culture .we have been trekking many place to enjoy the mountain in the past , But this was the totally difference experience all together . We were glad to take this trekking tour with SAS travel. Especially our guide Isaac was truly dedicated to individual need as well as group.

Hello,
Eder was an excellent guide. He guided us through the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu with enthusiasm and knowledge of the Peruvian and Inca culture. The voyage through the Inca Trail with Eder was unforgettable. Arriving at Machu Picchu was breathtaking. The sights we encountered along the way were also fasinating.
Soledad also prepped us for the trip, she answered every email I sent prior to our trek. She also helped us out when we arrived Cusco. Thank you SAS Travel for the memorable trip to Peru! We would def come back and recommend SAS travel to our friends.

TAMBO JUNGLE LODGE - PUERTO MALDONADO TAMBOPATA-PERU
The Capital of the Biodiversity
We know you will enjoy the personal attention provided by our staff and facilities at Tambo Jungle Lodge on the shores of the Alto Madre de Dios River.
Our 12 double occupancy bugalows ensure that you are not surrounded by more tourists than animals and this makes for a more relaxing tranquil visit with more opportunity to find the wildlife!. Just enough other travellers to make it interesting but not overbearing. Triple bed accommodation is available on request.
Our bilingual guides will educate and entertain you with the mysteries of the Jungle, enrich you with traditional local myth and legend and the surprising history of this area. You will be amazed by the qualities of it´s plants, from which most of our medicines originated and from which most of the cures we desperately seek will be found if we don’t destroy it first. Each evening there will be some form of nocturnal activities. Night walks (optional for those who
don´t want to look for Tarantulas and other creepy crawlies), Cayman spotting when conditions are optimal. And it´s possible, that your favorite memory of the Jungle will be the delicious meals, combining international & local cuisine, carefully prepared with fresh, high quality ingredients.
Tambo Jungle Lodge it is a basic lodge.
On arrival of your flight to Puerto Maldonado, Our Guide/Staff will meet you at the Airport and transfer you to the Centre of town- where you can visit the exotic local market. Depending on the arrival time of the flights we may have the first lunch here or while traveling to\or at the lodge. Your excess luggage will be stored safely in our Office in Puerto Maldonado and then we will continue onto the port. We take our private boat along the Madre de Dios River for approximately 1 hour to TAMBO JUNGLE LODGE. A cool welcome drink awaits you and then you´ll be shown to your Bungalows to settle in.
In the afternoon we will take a 30 min boat journey to Monkey Island where you can appreciate a great diversity of monkeys such as the “Maquisapa”, “Martin”, “Little lions”, “Frailes”, “Achuñis”, Ronsocos” etc, as well as a rich variety of birds.
Return to JUNGLE LODGE for a delicious traditional Dinner. Nocturnal Activities are available each night. These range from nocturnal walks, talks on different topics and Cayman spotting when conditions are optional.
After a great Jungle Breakfast, we take a 1.5 hour walk to the famous Sandoval Lake, passing through virgin forest, home to beautiful flora and fauna including Giant Otters, Water Birds, Alligators, wild hens, Taricayas (small turtles) and a variety of fish. We will spend a few hours in canoe on this, one of the most beautiful lakes in the Madre de Dios where you can fish for piranha, row, swim, walk or simply relax before returning to the Lodge in the afternoon. We will have a box lunch at Sandoval lake. One of the most awe inspiring features of the Jungle is the enormity of the trees and you will have the experience of standing at the base of the huge Lupuna. We may take a short visit to the Fitzcarral boat or there is the opportunity to visit the traditional “chacras” farming areas of the zone. Return to the lodge. Dinner. Nocturnal Activities (optional)
Very early departure to view the Collpa de Loros, (parrot claylick) Sunrise on the river as we journey 1 and a half hours to a clay wall where hundreds of green parrots congregate at first light each morning. We will generally be able to spend about an hour here before reboarding the boat to enjoy breakfast on our return to Puerto Maldonado. Checkin 2 hours before flight and then time to visit the stunning Snake farm before your flight on to Cusco or Lima Despedida a la Selva.|
