Nice post!
Good blog - great photos. What tour operator did you book with and would you recommend them? Did you book in advance or when you got to Peru?

The trip was with Manu Ecological Adventures (do a web search for their website), I thought they where excellent, good food, and they kept us busy all the time (off the boat).

Their office is in Cuzco, and the best time to go is the dry season which happens in the middle of the year.
