Travelers with 14 days to spend in Peru will find a world of itinerary options available. One of the notable benefits of a two-week trip is the ability to combine Machu Picchu with one of Peru's remote regions—Huaraz or northern Peru are both off-the-beaten-path possibilities. Trekkers can check out multiple trails in 2 weeks, walking the Inca Trail before another multi-day excursion among the glaciers, lagoons, and mountains of Ausangate. Not interested in trekking? Take a deep dive into Peruvian culture, pairing ancient history with local experiences in the Sacred Valley and Lake Titicaca.

The trip was everything we expected. The smaller hotels were so much nicer than the larger ones, and the personal service was very much appreciated. The guides were extremely informative, and we'll be fortunate to remember even a portion of everything we were shown and told.
When my suitcase was taken, you were extremely helpful in recovering it.
My only complaint was the last day, when no transportation was provided for the cooking class. When we finally got there and found the area, it was late and we were unable to participate. Stacked against all of the positive, that was just a small glitch.
I still don't know why we had a charge of 500 dollars at Las Qolqas. I would like to know what it was for if possible. Could you do some research for me?
My daughter knows a couple of travel agents here in Billings, and she has shared with them several times who you are and how helpful you have been. We will definitely continue to spread the word and will again choose you when we travel again.
Thank you, thank you, thank you for a wonderful trip.

What a beautiful setting!!! We felt pampered and blessed by the straight-up mountains that surrounded us. The staff were always helpful and polite, and the massage therapists did a great job. The drivers that took us to town and back were very polite and helpful with directions for getting around town. I'm not sure why we have an extra charge, but that is the only negative. Great choice!

Again, the staff were extremely helpful and friendly and went out of their way to help us in any way. The courtyard was a pleasant place to relax, and sitting under the umbrellas during the showers with a glass of wine was very easy to do. The steep grade was hard at first, but we quickly adjusted to the climb, and soon it seemed quite natural.

Our recent trip to Peru planned through Kimkim, with Kristy Tizon as our travel specialist, was nothing short of exceptional. From start to finish, the experience was seamless, personalized, and thoughtfully curated to match exactly what we were hoping to get out of the trip.

Kristy did an outstanding job designing an itinerary that balanced adventure, culture, and relaxation. Every detail—transportation, accommodations, guided tours—was handled with precision, allowing us to focus entirely on enjoying the experience rather than worrying about logistics. Her communication throughout the planning process was prompt and insightful, and she was always willing to adjust plans based on our preferences.

Highlights of the trip included exploring the Sacred Valley, experiencing the rich history of Cusco, and, of course, visiting Machu Picchu—each made even more memorable by the knowledgeable local guides Kristy arranged. The accommodations were comfortable and well-located, and every transition between destinations felt effortless.

What truly set this experience apart was the level of personalization and care. It never felt like a generic, pre-packaged tour—every aspect reflected our interests and travel style. Even when minor questions came up during the trip, support was quick and helpful.

I would highly recommend booking through Kimkim and working with Kristy Tizon for anyone considering a trip to Peru. It was a stress-free, unforgettable experience, and we’re already looking forward to planning our next adventure
