Personalized trips to Peru
for independent travelers

We really loved staying at Las Qolqas EcoResort Ollantaytambo. We're seasoned travelers who've stayed in various permanent tented camps, and this location was fun and beautiful, nestled in the mountains. It was an excellent choice because it felt secluded and peaceful, away from the busyness of the tourist town. Highly recommend it to anyone looking for a unique and serene accommodation experience.

The Lima Food Tour was amazing and a highlight of our trip. We did the evening tour, which allowed us to sample some fantastic dishes. We started with the best ceviche we tasted on our trip and continued on to a place near ancient ruins offering amazing tapas. Ending at a bar, we experienced something other than the 'pisco sours', which was refreshing since we'd had plenty by then.

Horseback riding to Devil's Balcony from Cusco was great, and it's something we frequently enjoy on our trips. It's such a wonderful way to explore and enjoy the natural environment while getting some activity into our schedule. Definitely a worthwhile experience.

The full-day trip from Lima to the Paracas and Ballestas Islands, along with the desert adventure, was quite an enjoyable experience overall. Initially, we were hesitant due to the long drive, but the kids were eager to go. The Ballestas Islands were nice but didn't stand out particularly. Surprisingly, the desert oasis, part of the trip which I was initially less excited about, turned out to be incredibly fun and the highlight of the day.

The Short Inca Trail tour to Machu Picchu was a must-do on our trip. We had heard beforehand that the hike was challenging, and it indeed was, but it was absolutely fabulous. Hiking into Machu Picchu provided a unique and rewarding experience away from the crowds, making it very worthwhile. We were glad to take the bus back, but the hike was a perfect way to immerse ourselves in the environment.

Good location! Very nice and clean. They had an outdoor bar to end the evening.

This hotel was okay. It was clean and well-kept. There is no heat/air. It was quite chilly in June. Fortunately they had a space heater in the room. It was off the beaten path and little difficult to get to. We’d prefer to stay closer to the main plaza.

The location of this hotel was great! There is no heat/air, but it wasn’t too bad in June. The rooftop breakfast was nice.

You MUST visit this resort when staying in the Sacred Valley. It was incredible! The resort is beautiful inside and out. Do yourself a favor and visit the spa. I had the 90 minute Kallpa massage with Marilia. It was the absolute best massage I have ever had! Don’t skip this one.

We returned from glamping in Huacachina to the airport hotel. We are so happy we were so close to the airport. We had a morning flight to Cusco. Traffic is insane in Lima.

What an incredible experience! It’s a must when you visit Peru! Dune buggy rides, sand tubing and sand boarding are all part of the experience. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

We enjoyed our wine tasting and tour of Tacama Winery. The grounds are beautiful. It was the perfect stop before boarding a five-hour bus ride back to Lima. Highly recommend.

This is an ABSOLUTE MUST when visiting Peru! The five-hour bus ride from Lima was very comfortable and definitely worth it. The experience includes glamping plus dune buggies, sand tubing, and sand boarding. Do not skip this experience!

Our tour guide was amazing, but I’m going blank on his name. 😕 It was our very first experience. We saw the highlights of Lima. We enjoyed this tour.
