Dear Ana Maria: ...the time spent in your glorious home (with exceptional cuisine) was the high Peruvian experience. You, more than Machu Picchu, will forever reign supreme in my exceptional experiences in your inimitable country...
Penelope Steiner - New York '06 l Aracari Travel ConsultingWe still think fondly of our visit to Casa García Alvarado: Pisco Sours in the garden, a delicious lunch cooked with love and, most importantly, your gracious hospitality. It is not often that travelers get to have contact with a local family. Being in the company of both mother and daughter was a wonderful surprise. Besides the magic of Machu Picchu, our visit to Casa García Alvarado stands out as one of the most memorable times in our trip to Peru. Thank you for opening your home to us!

Dear Ana Maria: Meeting you, experiencing your hospitality and having a portal into another time and place - was the highlight of our two weeks in Peru. It's not Machu Picchu that should draw people to your country. It's you!! Thank you again for such a special evening. Fondest regards,

…In addition, we enjoyed a very special afternoon in Lima at the Casa Garcia Alvarado. We were treated to Pisco Sours in the Grand Salon, followed by a delicious and authentic Peruvian luncheon, with wine, elegantly served by white gloved waiters. Señora Ana Maria Garcia Alvarado de Astudillo was a most gracious hostess and we could not tear ourselves away from her marvelous stories of growing up in Lima in the last century…

Señora, Angela and I would again like to thank you for having us for dinner at your home. We enjoyed meeting you, seeing your home and the wonderful food and kind service. Our discussions on life, education, politics, health, etc. were stimulating! God bless you and your family.

Dear Mrs. García: Thank you again, for being such a gracious hostess and welcoming my family and me to your beautiful home for lunch on our first day in Lima. We will always remember our visit to your home as being one of the "highlights" of our marvelous South American tour and we hope that, if fortune will smile upon us, our paths may cross again.

Ana Marie: Thank you very much for your hospitality during our lunch visit. Casa García Alvarado is a great home but it was you who made it memorable. I am sure E Jones will enjoy it as much as I did!

Dear Señora Ana Maria: I write to thank you very much indeed for your hospitality towards my husband and myself on Thursday, 16th November. We thoroughly enjoyed the glimpse of Old Lima which you gave us - both in respect of your house and the most delightful lunch in such dignified surroundings…
Mr. and Mrs. Porter-Scotland '06 l Peru Orient-Express Experiences
To Ana Maria Garcia de Astudillo: You were very helpful when we came to your beautiful home in Lima as part of our voyage on the Queen Mary 2. We have thought of your hospitality many times that was far beyond what any visitor could have expected. We have very good memories of our time in Peru, and have told many of our friends about your friendship and helpfulness.

Also, one of the highlights for us was the lunch with Ana Maria at her "home"… she is very interesting to talk with, her house quite impressive and the food was delicious. What she offers is exactly what our incentive clients are looking for and I am pleased something like that is available while they are in Lima. When putting together this new proposal for the RPMC please be sure to include a lunch or dinner with Ana Maria at her house… they will love it.

Dear Ana Maria: Carl and I want to thank you for your wonderful hospitality. You were so very kind to spend so much time with us. The visit to Casa García Alvarado was one of the highlights of our trip to South America.
Mr. and Mrs. Sloane-Massachusetts '05 l Aracari Travel Consulting
With good wishes and sincere thanks for Tuesday, Jan 3rd spent in your gracious house while your own graciousness matches the surroundings, and your kindness and thoughtfulness were so evident.
