Yale Officials Agree to Return Peruvian Artifacts
By RANDY KENNEDY
After a long standoff with the government of Peru, Yale University has agreed to return a large group of artifacts that were excavated at Machu Picchu in a historic dig by a Yale explorer in 1912 and that Peru contends were merely on loan and should have been returned long ago.
Excluding the KLM problems that we have discussed the holiday was a wonderful experience and we will have so many happy memories.
First of all Joyce and I want to say thank you. All the fine staff of Aracari that we met did an excellent job of caring for us and ensuring that every day of our trip to Peru was a wonderful happy adventure. The itinerary that was designed, achieved a good balance of activity and relaxation. I was able to see all the archeological sites of interest to me. We were able to shop for everything we expected to buy, plus a little more. The hotels were well located , comfortable and accommodating. The meals were great; presentation and preparation was excellent. Drivers, vehicles and guides were first class.
I would just like to say on behalf of Kris Sorbie and myself how happy we were with the itinerary of our trip. We both felt the services we were given by your guides and representatives were excellent. Raul was the first and last person we saw in Peru and his care was reassuring and calm. Marie Carmen in Cusco was very welcoming upon our arrival, getting oxygen!!! and helpful with our changes. We loved our time in the Jungle and our guide there Percy deserves special praise, we felt our life was in his skilled hands, particulary walking in the jungle at night, PLEASE ensure it is passed onto the Manu Wildlife Centre. Fernando was a wonderful, knowledgeable guide who was patient with our altitude challenges.Henry our driver made us feel safe in some potentiall dangerous car journeys, he was excellent at all times.
