AIMéE DOWL

Now on my third guide, I must offer my headlining thanks to Kathleen Munnelly, who makes these long-haul projects sweeter and lighter. Second only is Carolina Miranda, our team’s supportive, ever-Peru-loving coordinating author. In Huaraz, Chris Benway and Diana Morris kept me in the know, as did Fidel, Vanessa and Turismo Explorer in Chachapoyas. In Lima the crew at South American Explorers and Inka Frog are the best friends a Lonely Planet author could have. As ever, the strongest appreciation is reserved for last, for my dear friend and partner, Derek Kverno, whose patience is unbounded, whether looking for the Marvelous Spatuletail or waiting for me to finally come home.

KATY SHORTHOUSE

In Cuzco: Paul Cripps, Dougie Stewart, Robyn Quintana, Juan Ccama Arias, Rocsana Soto, Fernando Astete, Paolo Greer and Klever Marca Coronel. In Puno: Juan Salamanca de Dircetur, Angel Canales, Briseida Paoro Pino, Ulises Mamani Apaza, y Nancy en el terminal, ¡por el mapa! Los que me hacen querer vivir aquí: Vane, Lucho, Manu, Arturo, Crisanto, Claire, Fiona, Ximena, Sally, Yohn, Monica, Maka y Cynthia. Kerryn; all the Kathies, boys and Melissa. Yve, Lu, Sal, Liz, Anna, Mum, Dad, Dom and Carrie. Colleen, and inspirational walking ladies. Ned Myopus, the Brownedy-Hemingway clan, and all chunky seagulls. Paul, for being lovely. Jarrod, wish you were here. Andrew, Steve, Kelly, Phil, for teaching me everything I know.

LUKE WATERSON

A book could be filled with everyone that deserves a mention here. A special muchas gracias to Marianne Van Vlaardingen of Pantiacolla Tours for her advice on Manu, to Gerson Medina for ferrying me around the Río Tambopata and yet again to Huancayo’s ever-informative Lucho Hurtado. In Ayacucho I’m indebted to Txema and Zigi; in Iquitos to Marcel Bendayan and Bill Grimes; and in Pevas to Francisco Grippa. Thanks also to Cath Lanigan, to my fellow authors, to Kathleen Munnelly and the rest of the Lonely Planet team. Finally, thanks to Poppy, the best muse any author could wish for.

BETH WILLIAMS

A special thanks to Edwin Junco Cabrera of Pablo Tour, Vlado Soto of Colca Trek and Manuel Zuñiga Cheáux, three sources of incomparable knowledge about Arequipa and all the region has to offer. Thanks to my parents, to whom I owe my wandering spirit and route-finding ability. I also could not have done it without the moral support and encouragement of Beto Arambulo Vinatea and Alison Koler. Lastly, thanks to the entire Lonely Planet crew, my fellow authors, and all those who contributed bits and pieces along the way.
