Family Trip to Peru & Brazil …
So America Travel setup my whole family trip to Machu Picchu/Peru & Rio De Janeiro/Brazil. We only had a 2 week window but Rebecca included all the activities and special events we wanted to do and see with great service and assistance. All guides & drivers were very knowledgeable and provided great suggestions during our travel. Hotels were great & conveniently located in each city. Highly recommend The Lima Gourmet Tour where we got to try various fruits, mix/drink Pisco Sours, make ceviche, & have lunch at the Restaurant Huaca Pucllana in the Pre-Inca ruins in Miraflores. If you do the morning tour, suggest you eat a light breakfast because we were so full. The Circuito Magico Del Agua show is in downtown Lima and really amazing to see at night. Of course, Machu Picchu was Spectacular! We should have stayed in Cuzco 2 days before going to Machu Picchu to acclimate to the altitude since we added the hike to Machu Picchu Mtn which is close to the same elevation as Cuzco. I didn't make it to the top due to difficulty breathing. Rio was fabulous and fun. Wish we had more days to explore, but hanging out at the Coco Verde cafe on Copacabana watching beach soccer & soccer VB was amazing! Saw all the wonderful Rio sights and SAT was able to get us into a Soccer game at the Maracanã stadium which was a huge highlight for my grandkids. Highly recommend our Rio tour guide, Renato Costa. He was great fun and made sure we got the great family pictures from all the fabulous sites and views. Glad we were with him at the Maracanã so we had his guidance in where to go and what to do. Of course, we had to cheer for his Fluminense FC team who was playing against the larger fan base for the Flamengo FC team. At the last minute Flamengo tied the game @ 2-2, so no bragging rights for Renato. It was a very memorable & well planned trip by Rebecca. Thank you!!!
