Excellent tour, very safe and enjoyable - Very impressive Inca ruins, Temples of the Moon and Sun. These excavations are extremely well preserved and thankfully have lots of overhead protection from the punishing sun. The walking paths are very accessible and the ruins are extensive. Our tour guide was well informed and entertaining, the bus was comfortable and the driver was like a surgeon. Afterwards, we went to the local seaside and had lunch at what was probably one of the city's best restaurants, with a lovely view of the water. The surrounding areas illustrate the vast difference between rich and poor in Latin countries, so we felt we were in very good hands with our tour guide and driver. If you want to see this part of the World, this would be our recommendation for your local hosts.
