"Leo couldn't have been better. I'm glad I knew him before he wrote the definitive book on Machu Picchu! He is the best guide I have ever had. He was magnificent. The itinerary would have made for a very special trip on its own, but I truly believe that Leo's enthusiasm, knowledge, hard work, and personality helped make it a once-in-a-lifetime experience!!!! "
-- Don Curylo (IL, United States) July 2007 Jaguar
