Alvaro,
I got your sandals and they look great. You are going to be the coolest river guide out there!! I will send them this week but I just wanted to confirm your address. I have:
After I send them, I will e-mail you how much it all cost. I found them on sale so we saved about $20 which is great.
Everything over in San Diego is fabulous. The sun is shining and the beach is gorgeous. Carrie is going to Las Vegas this weekend so they better watch out. Casey is starting school soon and moving into a new place…………….with boys. Could get dangerous. Mom and dad are great and trying to finish the house.
We just got all our pictures developed so I will try to send you some.
They are fantastic. Take care and say hello to the Peruecoadventures and cultural trips staff, they did a wonderfull work,wwell organize and experience beside caring for the people and environment

Hello Alvaro We were with some of our Indiana University friends last Saturday. We had fun remembering our trip.Lamar would like to have some brochures about the Gold Museum in Lima which we visited. If you could send us some, we will reimburse the postage. Hope all is well with you.
Thanks, Joan and Lamar Gaston 212 Sequoya Road, Louisville Kentucky 40207.

Hi Alvaro,
How was your trip down the Rio Tambopata? I am sure you had an exciting time. The expedition was discussed in an article in a little magazine called “Peru Today” that we were given in Lima. If you’d like, send me your address in Cusco and I’ll mail it to you.
You were a great guide and made our trip very enjoyable. We were asked by International Expeditions for our opinion of the trip and we wrote good things about you, so maybe you will get more money!! 😉 We really enjoyed Peru and hope to return some day soon.
Thanks again for sharing your knowledge of Machu Picchu and Cusco with us, and best wishes in your future endeavors.

I am writing in English so I don’t have to think so hard!
I am sending you the invoice from the bookstore so that you can go and get a book equal to the value of the book we did not receive (it is the last one on the invoice–S/.50. Please take a copy of this to the bookstore and get a good book.
Also, today I am sending you something I think you can use. I have two copies of the National Geographic map you showed us at Machu Picchu so I am going to share one with you. Yours is beginning to show some wear (I can tell it has been used!) and I figured you could use it as you begin to start your own business. Inside the map I have put something else–Chendo thought I was going to give it to you and I thought he was going to give it to you.
A token of thanks for your assistance. May I send the package to the address on your website? I assume the Peruvian mail system is reliable.
Best regards, Mary

Thanks for putting up with all of us on the trip. I had a terrific time – Peru was more beautiful than I even imagined. I was very impressed by all the ruins as well – the Incas were extremely clever. Here is the article about the lost city I read about a month or so ago:
I also have an article clipped out. If you’d like I can send it to you – just let me know.
I hope everything went well on your jungle trip!
Keep in touch,
Kristine

Senor Alvaro,
I have two sets of 25 pictures for you. The pictures I am sending this time
are 4 x 6 versions which take up less disk space. The others which look great on the computer monitor would need to be mailed to you. If you would like them, mail me an address and I can send you a CD with the pictures.
I purchased music CD’s from 3 different groups that we saw in Cusco.
They were: Kuntur, Mochica, & Chakana. I also found a cassette from a Lima artist named Nancy Manchego. I heard her music on Radio Mundo in Cusco. Great stuff.
Its raining here now and we just got back from eating at a Peruvian restaurant here in Charlotte. They had Inka Kola although I had a beer. Been on any trips lately? Hope all is well. Hasta luego.

Dear Alvaro,
I have not forgotten you!
Thanks again for your help during our two days at Machu Picchu.
Herewith a very detailed account of our whole South American trip. I have it in an illustrated book combined with about 300 photographs but I am sure you will find at least some of the text interesting.
Best regards,
Keith, Amy and Demi

Hey Peruecoadventures and cultural trips, This is Ty from the 4 day Macchu Picchu trek. How’s it going? Just wanted to write to say thanks again for the enthusiastic and well informed trip. Anyways, keep up the good work and hope your next trips go well. Drop a line when you get a minute.

Good evening, I am writing this on Sunday evening, almost a week since we left Peru. I am sure you know that we all had a wonderful time, a wonderful experience and just a lot of fun. I want to make sure that you know what we all thought of you. It was a joy having you as our guide and friend. I hope you understood that I was being very serious when I said that you are a “really nice human being“ There are not too many nicer compliments I can think of. You anticipated all of the important moments and showed care and understanding beyond your years. You were fun to be with. You are the quintissential example of what a guide should be. I honestly hope that our paths will cross again.

I wanted to let you know that we all arrived home safely and to thank you again for helping us to have such a wonderful trip. You really did make it special for all of us. It was very hard to come back, I had serious thoughts of staying in Peru but I am not sure what I would do with myself. I do plan to come back and I hope to be able to see you all on my next trip. Trekking the Inca Trail is truly a life changing experience. I am hoping that it will be the start of a more happier time in my life. I brought a small piece of Macchu Picchu granite home with me as a symbol of a new start. I hope this message finds you safe and happy. Take care of yourself and stay in touch.

I am one of the people who was with the Women’s Travel Group during Christmas. I want to let you know that we all thought that you were an excellent guides team. Your knowledge and enthusiasm really made the Cuzco/Machu Picchu part of the trip fun and interesting. In fact, I think that you are the team who we will use to judge all other guides. I think I would like my next trip to be more physically challenging. There is a Womens Adventure Travel site on the Web that sounds interesting. I don’t know when I will come back to Peru, but if you have any interesting tours that come up, please let me know. I enjoy the natural world as well as the history of its people. Thanks for your great work!
