Just a quick note to say thank you for the excellent reception and care at your hotels.
Milena had arranged everything so incredibly good that we had no problems at all. Your hotels helped us with oxygen in Puno, getting scanned documents to my office etc. Just Fantastic!! Even the weather cooperated as we had beautiful sunshine every day, in spite of the rainy season. …
