How special to have a full cabin in the rainforest?! Every need is considered & the staff does a fabulous job at making sure you are aware of everything - timing, requirements, options...

This room was massive with breathtaking views on 2 sides!

The staff here is exceptionally friendly. They have 24/7 drinkable water, on-tap in the lobby. The breakfast was delicious & fresh. The rooms were clean & provided things I didn't know I needed (like a towel to clean my hiking boots). They heard me mention I was cold so showed me how to work the room heater & showed me the extra blanket.

We climb the tower to see above the canopy. It was a foggy morning so we didn't see much. But we had heard a holler monkey in our cabin while getting ready so Javier took us back behind our cabins to see if we could find it.

The boat ride from the office to the lodge was long and cold. Once we arrived there was a short info meeting then we went to our cabins and met shortly after for a night walk. Javier found so many creatures we wouldn't have seen

I wasn't sure I wanted to visit Machu Picchu, I thought maybe it was over-hyped. I was wrong. This is an absolute don't skip activity.

We learned so much from this family! This experience was unforgettable

We went shopping at 2 local markets, we picked the menu from a few options, they bought the ingredients and anything else we were interested in trying. Then we headed back to the restaurant to prepare it all! We had pisco sour, trout ceviche, quinoa crusted chicken tenders with mashed potatoes and fresh salted, for dessert we had a lot of fruits and some breads picked up at the market.

For me, this was for sure the most physically demanding climb we did. Absolutely worth it though and lots of room to take breaks.

We had a sharing sampler style meal. EVERYTHING was delicious.

We were so thankful to be able to experience harvesting pink salt with a family! Unforgettable

Although the macaws weren't actively licking the clay while we were there our guide made the experience engaging for our group. We did see macaws, parrots, a capped heron, and other wildlife. We also ate breakfast near the claylick before heading back to our lodge. After most people took a nap we went to a nearby lake and saw a family of otters & some piranhas

We headed directly to Lake Piuray from the airport. It wasn't our original plan so we weren't prepared. Everyone was so accommodating and adjusted to the unfortunate change of plans. In retrospect, kayaking in the mountain lake was the perfect first activity to re-center us. We were offered wetsuits and refreshments while they got our kayaks ready. While on the water our guide stayed close enough to answer all my questions and tell me about the history but let me go wherever I wanted, at my pace. We saw Chilean flamingos and jacanas.

This hotel is right on the river and we were lucky to get rooms on the riverside. Very spacious rooms with a lot of character. A window in our shower opened up to the river which was fun and unique. We only spent one night here and all felt it would have been nice to have a second night as it was such a great location with fun rooms

We overall loved this hotel; beautiful setting with an amazing green space surrounded by mountains. We read somewhere else that the rooms were dated, but the place was built in 1810, so I'm not sure why people would expect a modern look. The hotel was clean and staff was gracious. We had several hours free one afternoon and were able to enjoy some relaxation time by the pool with the mountain views

Nice location in Miraflores. We got to our hotel around 6:30 in the morning and allowed all of us to check into our rooms immediately which was very much appreciated after a long night of travel. I'ms sure this is based on availability. Rooms were clean and the breakfast included a great selection of foods. The rooftop bar is cute and a free welcome drink was included.

Beautiful hike in the Rainbow Mountains followed by a delicious lunch near a river. Another remarkable experience on our last full day in Peru. This area has been another bucket list item for us and we are glad we were able to experience it

Fun tour of historical Cusco including Sacsayhuaman, Cristi Blanco, the San Francisco Convent and the San Pedro Market as well as the main square

Today, we returned to the Machu Picchu site by bus and toured the actual site (rather than the overview following the hike the day before). Again, so much history here and in Peru in general. We felt lucky to get a second day at the site with good weather on both days. What an incredible experience

We had to start at marker 106 instead of 104 as part of the Inca trail was washed out which meant we missed the first archeological site of Chachabamba which was a bummer but also could not be helped. It also meant that we had to use the very steep switchback trail that is used by the porters. This was a touch trail, but we are so glad that we experienced it and were quite impressed with the fitness level of the porters running up and down the steep trail with heavy packs. We had a nice lunch at the mid point and visited the site of Winay Wayna which was an amazing site on a very steep hillside The second half of the hike was less grueling but still physical. Getting to the Sun Gate to our first view of Machu Picchu was spectacular. An emotional and somewhat spiritual moment as this is a trip that we haven't wanted to take for several years. The mountains and ruins of Machu Picchu are everything but also much more than what was expected. It is hard to describe the beauty of the site in words. Completing the difficult hike first, made getting to the site so much more rewarding

Very interesting Inca site that we were not aware of until planning this trip. Another beautiful area with so much history. The town was also very cute.

We started the day with a hike around the archaeological site of Pisac; another amazingly beautiful setting with Inca ruins and so much interesting information shared by Julio. We were also lucky to have some of the local llamas and alpacas on the trail so were able to get some great photos next to them. We then headed to Amaru to have lunch with a local family. They were all kind and welcoming. They taught us about their farming and we were able to cut down some of our food and also able to help prepare the food a bit. We saw how the women made some of their crafts; it was a group of highly talented people and the food was delicious

Both of these areas are a must see. We were at the salt flats of Maras near sunset which made for a beautiful setting. Julio also took us to a nice shop where we were able to buy some of the salts. The chocolate at the same shop was amazing The "experimental laboratory" of Moray was also a great experience. Amazing the knowledge that people had so many years ago and the setting was gorgeous

Absolutely gorgeous setting with amazing food. We all agreed that this was some of our favorite food on the entire trip

We started the Lima tour with a visit to the Huaca Pucllana archaeological site and were surprised that we didn't go in. We just stood outside for some information. We should have asked about it, but just assumed that it was not allowed. We looked it up later, and you are able to go in with a guide. We then went to the Larco Museum which was super interesting This was followed by a visit to the El Centro district with historical buildings and churches as well as a visit to Chinatown with lunch at a Chifa restaurant Nancy was our guide and was great

Basically, this was the pick up at the airport which was seamless. Our daughter and her boyfriend arrived late the night before and four of us arrived at 5AM. We appreciated that someone was there for two different transports at odd hours

Nestled in the Cuzco downtown - this hotel was had a beautiful lush courtyard, lovely breakfast, and we loved the hot water bottles tucked I your beds and the nighttime tea! The staff was excellent and very accommodating.

This is a fascinating site. We strongly recommend seeing it and buying the pink salt!

Words cannot do justice to seeing the sunrise over Machu Picchu!!

What a stunning property and the food was fantastic!

Beautiful hotel with friendly staff. Would have given 5 stars but the room was too hot. For 2 people, 5 stars. For 3 people, it was a bit crowded.

Quaint. Didn’t have all the amenities. The bathrooms were small. We had the street side and it was very noisy. Would have been nice to have a river view.

Croissants were wonderful! Lovely rooms. Friendly and accommodating staff. Sauna quite small.

Gorgeous hotel and setting. Good food.

Good location. Lovely hotel.

Again, the setting and experiences were delightful. The hot springs were so relaxing. The coffee experience was enlightening, insightful, purposeful and enriching. The family was warm and fun.

What an exceptional experience. The train is gorgeous. Staff friendly and helpful. The scenery divine.

Charming UNESCO city. A must see. The people are so warm and friendly; learning about some of the history of Peru adds to the overall experience. Good exercise as well.

This was a challenging hike as far as altitude and terrain. Having said that, it was a perfect hike with captivating views. Again, our driver and Guido we’re simply the best!!!!!

Stunning atmosphere! Interesting collection of artifacts. Lunch was good.

Pisac Market was ok, but overwhelming. The camels farms was perfect! The retail store offered wonderful products. The staff were kind yet l didn’t feel l had enough space to think about a purchase so l didn’t purchase anything.

Perfect day for this tour. Alvaro kindly walked us to the dock and the drivers were knowledgeable and entertaining.

Beautiful and unique setting. Interesting artifacts.

Bianca provided an interesting ands educational tour. The food was exquisite. I was disappointed that she hasn’t shared the pictures she took.

I would not ever stay here again. The hotel environment was depressing. They had no substantial list of activities planned so that we could select from a menu of their services. Truly bare bones. It felt like they were eager to get us out so that they could proceed with their end of season Brazilian nut harvest. We had high hopes but left very disappointed.

Excellent location. There’s a lot of street noise, which we encounter in many busy cities. It was great that everything was within walking distance.

Very cozy and comfortable. The only concern is that it’s not within safe walking distance to anything. Otherwise, very nice facility.

Perfectly located and within reach of a very lively area in Lima.

Our stay at Hotel Limade was perfect for our needs. The hotel was clean, in a good location, and met our expectations. It was a nice place to stay and we'd stay there again. Overall, all the hotels during our trip were satisfying and met what we were looking for. They weren't top of the line, but they were really nice and suited our needs for exploring more than staying in.

Food was very good, but the experience was outstanding. Beautifully set in a working garden.

Wily was the best of tour guides bar none!

Emerson did a great job guiding us throughout the site. This is the crown jewel of the Sacred Valley.

Aura gave us a very fun and educational tour. Really, I think that it was the most fun that we had on our entire trip. You can't beat getting to interact with the chefs and bartenders of fabulous local establishments.

Lewis is an outstanding driver. I felt entirely safe in his hands. We had several drivers during our trip (all were good), but none were even in the same league as Lewis. Safe, professional and expedient.
