Miski Travels

Clean, nice neighborhood in Parlemo. I would like to stay there if I come back

We absolutely loved this hotel. The staff were so welcoming and it was extremely comfortable and cosy. The restaurant was excellent, the beds were extremely comfortable and the decor was beautiful. We will be recommending this hotel to any friends who are planning a trip to Cusco.

We had a wonderful stay at Refugio Amazonas. We were there for three nights and took part in a variety of activities. The lodge was fantastic, we really enjoyed our stay, you really felt part of nature whilst still being comfortable. Highlights of the activities were the trip to see the macaws at the clay lick, the oxbow lake, sunset cruise, night walk and mountain biking. We also really enjoyed the pre-dinner Wired Amazon talks. We are a family with two boys aged 14 and 15 and it was the ideal location for us.

The 10 hour duration of this train journey was a little daunting but it flew by. The seats were comfortable, the food was excellent and we loved the added touches of the dances and music in the lounge car. The observation deck was fantastic and we felt really looked after.

Solid, comfortable hotel in the heart of miraflores. Not a beautiful part of Lima but accessible. The hotel had a nice lobby and bar and a very extensive breakfast spread. The rooms were fine, small, serviceable. Nice service.

this was an amazing resort in an extremely remote location. The accommodations were special and lovely. we had a warm and personal greeting and reception with a pisco punch when we arrived that really set a nice mood of specialized comfort. the main restaurant/bar etc was absolutely beautiful. the food was average. we unfortunately had a later-than-expected arrival so we missed truly taking advantage of the whole resort. the spa/sauna was already booked when we got there which my adult kids were looking forward to. We left at the crack of pre-dawn for machu picchu so missed really enjoying the place. Got a great view of the milky way before we put our heads down! and we had a lovely boxed breakfast waiting for us to take on our early early train. Lovely service and lovely resort. spend more time there. FYI Ollantaytambo looks VERY touristy and almost honky tonky.

The hotel was fine. located all the way at the top of the hill so quite a hike up but near the thermal pools which was convenient. and a bit quieter up there. The hotel was very basic. could be a little more updated and more comfort. breakfast was basic. rooms were average. would opt for a different hotel with upgraded rooms and amenities in agua calientes.

a bit more of a budget hotel but good location. we stayed, left to sacred valley, and stayed on our way back. first room was small and incredibly noisy all night on the plaza. the second time we had a much bigger room in the back of the hotel and much less noisy. The breakfast oddly on the top floor was good, basic. the bellhops/porters and cleaning staff and breakfast staff were all extremely friendly and helpful. oddly the front desk staff was less so. they did not go out of their way to be helpful but were fine. the location is great and central. and they do a great job of taking care of your bags while you're in between coming/going. Might have looked for a bit more luxury but great location and served our needs at a great price.

Fantastic intro to the city and to Peruvian foodie culture. We had Amy who was SPECTACULAR! loads of energy, attentive to everyone, loaded with history and current events in Peru. The places they took us were each so different from the lucuma milkshake shack to the market with a box of fresh produce to Limana Bar which was a fantastic high end restaurant to the restaurant inside the ruins - it was top notch and interesting and FUN! Do NOT eat breakfast if you're doing a morning tour! Can't recommend the tour and AMY enough!!

We had the extreme pleasure of having Edwin as our guide from Cusi Travel. He is a proud Quechuan who loves his history and culture and language and added so much to our trip. The half day tour was great after we had already spent a day in Cusco and found the market and some restaurants and some shops. he delved into some of the more notable historic sites in town and then we went just outside town to some near by ruins where we started to get immersed in the Incan culture. Edwin is informative and goes at the right pace. He is knowledgeable and was great connecting the dots for some of my family who had done some studying on the Incas in preparation for our trip. He was kind in letting us practice our spanish and filling in some gaps. A great afternoon!

Without a doubt one of the highlights of our trip. Everything we put into the itinerary was spectacular and we had a nice mix of Incan sites, markets, llama and alpaca "farms", textile demonstrations (not touristy, felt authentic, spent time with wonderful and interesting local weavers) and lunch in the middle of nowhere in a gorgeous eco-restaurant with amazing vistas and llamas and alpacas to visit with freely roaming the place. The salt mines and moray were our favorites and not to be missed. And extra kudos to Edwin and David who were cool, calm and collected when we realized we had left passports in Cusco and had to retrieve them. They made up the time and we still got to pack everything in without a worry. They could not have been nicer.

My family of adult kids were ready for this from the get go. My husband (2 total knees) was upbeat and optimistic. Me, with an 8 month old total knee was optimistic but nervous - would i make it? would i hold everyone back? could i still do this at 62? well the answer was a resounding SO GLAD WE DID IT! not for the faint of heart for sure but you don't need to be an endurance athlete to make it. And there's something special about CLIMBING your way to Macchu Picchu. It was challenging for sure but the views are great and making it to the spectacular but less visited Winya Wayna ruins made it all worth it. Breathtaking! And coming through the Sun Gate and seeing MP from on high was also a real treat. It was long, the steps are hard, listen to your guide and when he tells you to pack and carry 3 liters of water - do it! we started the day on a very early train - lovely ride - a boxed breakfast from the hotel and a little pre-hike snooze. was so glad we had Kim Kim book everything ahead - transport, train, hiking permits. would not have wanted to arrange everything myself. Edwin made sure we got everywhere we needed to be. Again, Edwin was an amazing guide and, on this trip, cheerleader! He never peeped when i needed to stop and catch my breath. he never pushed, only encouraged and distracted with interesting asides about local flora and fauna and history. The team packed a phenomenal travel lunch for us that was enormous and delicious! And Edwin made it a point to take lots of picture for us, even when we were wondering if we'd make it. So glad we did it and proud that we accomplished it. The target is 6-8 hours, we took 7.5, my kids could have done it in 5.

We did Circuit 3 i believe and it was extensive! we got a great view of how MP worked as a city and educational and cultural center. Again Edwin was an amazing guide loaded with even more insights and facts and history. He made MP come alive. Edwin met us early in the morning at a time we all agreed upon - the hotel did a great job of getting our bags to the train later. Edwin knew to hurry is to the very long, waiting morning bus line - went up by bus (made us appreciate how special the hike was the day before) and came down by bus. had lunch in town with Edwin before catching the train to Ollantaytambo where David was waiting with the rest of our luggage and the van back to Cusco. Again would NOT have wanted to manage logistics on this trip without KimKim/Cusi Travel. Made it absolutely stress free and delightful.

It was so very beautiful!!! Very difficult hike as you are very high altitude with very big incline but so worth it. The locals do rent horses, so if you don’t think you can hike it, definitely suggest getting there early so that way you can get a horse :)

This was an experience of a lifetime. We absolutely loved this experience. Edwin, our guide, was amazing and was so great at making us maximize our experience and enjoy the Inca Trail. The porters and team were amazing! They are the "unseen" heroes of hiking the Inca Trai. The hike itself isn't easy, but the experience is priceless. The food was great and it was fun to eat in the "dining tent." There was always more food than we could eat and it was all great!

Location is great. It's a basic hotel. But the check in process took way too long. I think we waited in line for 45 minutes and then it took about 15-20 minutes to check in. The food was good, not great, but the location is great for needing to be near the airport.

This is the perfect place to relax after hiking the Inca Trail. Great spa, great food, and the grounds are beautiful.

This place is great! The hosts are amazing. They took such good care of us and were so kind and dinner and breakfast and the food was great. We had an amazing time and this is a great place for a fun, unique experience.

Such a beautiful place and the tent/cabins were so unique and fun. The grounds are stunning and the staff was great. Food was good, not amazing, but it's still worth the stay.

We were just here for a night, but the place is quaint in the center of Cuzco. It's very basic, but it was a fun place to stay and the staff were all so kind.
