Peruvian Soul

Our stay at Finca Sachabacayoc was unfortunately the least enjoyable part of our Peru trip. We understand that staying in the Amazon comes with certain rustic expectations, but there were several issues that made our stay less comfortable than anticipated. The biggest challenge was that we had no running water for the entire morning of one of our days, which made it difficult to shower or get ready for our activities. Even when water was available, the hot water only lasted a few minutes. It was also often difficult to find staff when we needed assistance. The rooms have metal roofs, which made them extremely hot during the day, and the fans were not sufficient to keep the room comfortable. There were also a significant number of insects on the porch, making it difficult to relax in the hammock or enjoy the outdoor space. The food was adequate but fairly average and did not stand out compared to the rest of our trip. That said, we do want to recognize the staff for their kindness during an unexpected family health issue. They arranged breakfast for us when we had to miss one of the scheduled activities and were helpful in coordinating our unexpected return to Lima. We truly appreciated their support during a stressful situation. Overall, while the staff did their best to help when it mattered most, we feel the facilities, amenities, and overall guest experience could be improved.

Blanca was an excellent guide for our Barranco walking tour. She was knowledgeable, engaging, and shared the history and culture of the neighborhood in a way that made it both interesting and enjoyable. She also introduced us to some amazing local restaurants, giving us a wonderful taste of authentic Peruvian cuisine. It was a great experience, and we highly recommend touring Barranco with Blanca!

Julio was an outstanding guide for our Cusco walking tour. Instead of only taking us to the typical tourist attractions, he introduced us to local gems and hidden corners of the city that made the experience feel much more authentic. He is a wonderful storyteller, incredibly knowledgeable, and genuinely caring, making sure everyone in our family was comfortable throughout the tour. We learned so much about Cusco's history, culture, and local life, and would highly recommend this tour with Julio.

Visiting Moray was one of the highlights of our time in the Sacred Valley, and Julio made the experience even more memorable. His storytelling and knowledge brought the history and purpose of the terraces to life, and he took the time to answer all of our questions. We appreciated that he shared not only the historical significance of Moray but also local insights and perspectives that made the visit much more meaningful. We highly recommend this tour, especially with Julio as your guide.

The Maras Salt Ponds were a fascinating place to visit, and Julio was an excellent guide. He shared interesting stories and local insights that made the visit much more meaningful. A beautiful stop in the Sacred Valley that we would highly recommend.

Lunch at Ama was one of the most memorable meals of our trip. Beyond the outstanding food, we were inspired by the owner's mission of creating employment opportunities for young people with disabilities and single mothers. It was a meaningful experience to support a local business making such a positive impact on the community. We highly recommend stopping here if you're visiting the Sacred Valley.

This hotel and the grounds are incredible and the staff were wonderful! Brunch was an absolute highlight; the staff, food, and just how wonderfully luxurious but comfortable everything felt. We ate at Hawa once; however, unanimously agree that it would've been nice to have another option that was perhaps less stuffy and upscale. After a long day of traveling and hiking, Hawa felt like an extra task to get ready for in the evening, especially with a little one. We found several incredible restaurants in walking distance that fit that bill though!

We traveled with our 5 year old and overall felt like this hotel did a really wonderful job making sure we were all comfortable and taken care of. The service at breakfast in the mornings wasn't consistently spectacular; perhaps, coming from Tambo del Inka, is why the breakfast spread and service fell flat (their's is far superior). The bar was wonderful and the Pisco class was fantastic. On our final night we brought down a deck of cards and ordered drinks and some food. It was the perfect, relaxed experience!

An absolute dream stay. The stars, the spa, the restaurant. Everything was amazing.

I loved this hotel!! Great food at the restaurant for dinner / breakfast. So beautiful and so clean.

This hotel was terrible! Mold in the bathrooms, broken glass in common areas. small rooms. loud location.

great roof top bar, great location.

I loved Gabriel and his tour! Seeing the moon temple was incredible. Exceeded expectations

This was quite the doozy! Stunning views, but the "easy" hike was actually very difficult!

Didn't realize this would be a mile hike, but it was great! Julio was so informative.

This was cute, but going to two different communities seemed very similar. I also felt a little weird about the pressure to buy things from the community. Still a great experience.

Great location, clean rooms, good breakfast.

Wonderful hotel, truly top class luxury and service

The location in Miraflores was perfect. We were able to walk and explore. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was very good .

We had a great time at the Explorer's Inn. The rooms were very comfortable and spacious. The lodge was a nice place to relax. The food was delicious and the staff were all friendly and helpful. We loved the boat ride to get to the Inn. Our guide Raul kept us busy exploring the rainforest and the surrounding area. Everything was well planned and organized.

This hotel was a fun surprise. Although hidden from the main road, as you drive up its a little garden oasis. The rooms were very nice and spacious. The staff was nice and helpful.

Macchu Picchu town was so fun! The El Mapi was a very nice hotel right in the middle of town with plenty of shops and restaurants to explore. The staff was very welcoming and both dinner and breakfast were very good.

This boutique hotel was such a nice spot. The staff were very welcoming and friendly. The rooms were unique with plenty of room. It was very comfortable and the location was great.
