Can she skip it and stay in the hotel? Also, it looks like day 1 is the day people arrive and day 2 is the day the tour starts right?

Yes, your mother can either stay at the hotel or do our Sacred Valley fullday tour, which visits Pisac, Ollantaytambo and Chinchero, instead of the Rainbow Mountain tour. I would recommend you to arrive on day 1 at 10:30pm, and have a little more time to rest.

Driver didnt tie down my bag & we lost it somewhere between downtown Iquitos & the port (fortunately I had another bag).. The staff was quick to offer partial compensation, medicine replacement & charging cords for our phones. Accidents happen, they did what they could for the loss to have minimal impact on our stay. The Staff was fantastic, the food was excellent (though coffee should be included). Our guide was very knowledgeable, but his accent sometimes made him difficult to understand (or he would give an answer that had nothing to do with the question you asked), but he was a really nice guy & kept everyone up to date on what was going on at what time. We were really disappointed that we didnt get to zipline. There's an obstacle course to get to the lines & we were physically unable to do the last challenge in order to get to the zipline platform. There should have been an alternate way to access the platforms. They offered to push a kid across the last challenge because he was too short to do it (as was my travel companion), but that option wasnt offered to us. The accommodation is what you'd expect in the Amazon...mosquito nets over the beds, private toliet & shower (with unheated water), sink in the room & fan for ventilation. It was adequate & comfortable. The pool was very nice & impeccably clean. They sprayed frequently enough to keep the bugs at bay (a major plus). Our jungle trek was less then enjoyable. We went mostly through swamp & I was too busy watching where I was stepping/trying to stay upright to see much. It was better when he stopped to point things out. He did cut a stick for me to use for support, that was VERY helpful. The rest of the excursions/talks were very enjoyable & educational. Loved the dancing in the village, face painting, animal preserves & especially the sunrise dolphin watch. I would definitely go again, it was very peaceful & relaxing. If you need to be on the go 100% ofthe time or constantly need your hand held, this place is not for you. If you don't mind a little slower pace & the lack of a TV, definitely give this tour a try. The staff alone would make it worth a visit....add in fantastic food & all the wildlife, its a great 3 days!Show more
