1.- Manuel greetings from David & Avril Brampton.

We arrived back safely in England with many happy memories of our holiday in Peru. We both wish to thank you very much for the way you told us, in particular,about the Inca and pre Inca periods. The visit to the Sacred Valley and Ollantaytambo was brought alive because of what you told us.
Your knowledge and enthusiasm are a credit to you. We both wish we could remember more of what you told us.
Your encouragement during the short hike from Km104 to Machu Picchu was more than expected and you helped make that hike much more interesting by showing us flowers, birds and other non Inca subjects.
Of course a big thank you for helping Avril when her knee locked. That was a frightening experience but you got us through it. We also compliment you on the excellent tour of Machu Picchu you gave us.
We both wish you wll in the future we feel sure your knowledge and manner will be a big advantage for you in the future.

Best wishes

David & Avril Brampton

2.- Hola Manuel!

How are you? we're back from our travels...the Galapagos was absolutely amazing!!! Thank you so much for guiding us around the Sacred Valley, and Macchu Pichu...we all had a wonderful time.
We spoke about a great Naturalist Guide that we had in the Jungle...here are her details:

Take care.
Love Stacey.

3.- Hello Manuel

I hope you will find some photos attached - remember the sunrise on the snow capped mountains?
We enjoyed our trekking with you so very much. Although 1000's of miles away now, it is still very much in our minds. We were honoured to spend time with you and your team and will never ever forget it. We have 100's of photos to remind us it really did happen! We have a tremendous sense of acheivement too, mostly due to you looking after us!
We spent a few days in Bolivia after parting which wasa good contrast with the Andes. But we are very relieved now to be breathng oxygen rich air!
I hope you managed to collect pens etc from Novotel and to put them to good use!
If ever anyone wants to approach us for a reference or to talk about doing the trail with you, please feel free to pass on our mail address. We would be pleased to recommend you.
Best wishes to your "soul mate" - I'm sure she was glad to get you home again!

Our best wishes to you! Love to hear from you sometime!

Linda, Keith and lewis (known to friends as The Old Trout, Old Toad and Chimp!

4.- Dear Manuel

I have been feeling so priviledged to have been to Peru, more priviledged to have walked in the Andes, and then to have walked to Machu Pichu with you as our guide.
I have taken many pictures - of flowers - of people - of Inca stones and buildings and scenery and they are extraordinary. You live in an amazing place. What an office!
Somehow one cannot be in Peru and not be affected by the graciousness of the people we met, the colours, the skills and the work ethic - especially our porters. They are really and truely amazing.
Thank you very much indeed for all your patience and kindness and care of us - we all returned home in good nick. We were so cared for all the way.

My knees are stronger than when I left home! Thank you.

Best wishes to you and to the porters.

Lily Mitchell.
