Morrison & Partee - Lima, Cusco, Tambopata & Zafiro Amazon Cruise Testimonial

Elaine from Los Altos Hills, CA originally planned a solo Galapagos & Peru trip for March 2022, but had to postpone on medical grounds. She was finally able to make the trip, in the company of Morriss, in February 2024

Their itinerary included Lima, Cusco and - quite unusually - time at both an Amazon lodge in Southern Peru and on an Amazon cruise in Northern Peru.

Their original visit to Machu Picchu was cancelled, but luckily they had extra time in their itinerary and were able to rearrange.
