what is your favorite travel in peru?
Posted by: | CommentsInca jungle:Activities Peru, Rafting and Trekking Company is owned and operated by two locally born and raised guides: Luis (Lucho) Vizcarra Manzaneda , and his younger brother Frank.
While rafting is their number one passion, as natives of the Cusco area, they are extremely proud of their heritage and South America’s premier tourist attraction,
MachuPicchu and the Inca Jungle. Both have guided extensively on the famed Inca Trail – and can also take you to Machu Pichu on trails less travelled, as the Incas had many roads leading there. They would have to be two of the most knowledgeable, articulate and passionate guides operating from Cusco; in fact Frank completed his degree in tourism at the local University in Cusco, specializing in the history of the area.

I mentioned Mexico because I’m assuming more people have been there and have experienced the bad quality of water. I mentioned Peru because that is where I am going next week. My tour guide told our travel group that we should at no point drink, brush our teeth with, eat fruit washed with, eat salad washed with, (etc) the water, because the quality is awful and bacteria in the water would make us sick and everything.
But…my question is, what do I do when I’m showering and get water on my face, that drips down to my mouth, and sneaks its way in there? Haha it sounds stupid, but will any little amount do it, or do you need to ingest larger amounts to be infected and get sick or whatever? Also, do I really need to wash my face with bottled water? How careful do I need to be? (I really don’t want to ruin my experience on the trip by getting sick and throwing up and having diarrhea — I know… TMI… lol — so help me out here!)
Thank you to all answers!
