Peruvian Soul

Beautiful hotel with unique architecture. Terrific restaurant and bar. And the hot water bottles in our bed at night was such s treat

Blanca was a terrific guide! She brought us to an amazing market to start our day which helped us better understand the fruits and vegetables we would later see in the dishes we tried. From chocolate tasting to ceviche to classic lomo saltado - and ice cream to cap it all off! - the food was delicious. Highly recommend!

So. Much. Fun. Our kids (ages 24 and 11) had a blast!

One of the highlights of our trip! The people were so kind and genuinely seemed interested in sharing more about how they make the textiles. Lunch was delicious!

Abel was an amazing guide. He taught us all about the history and importance of Ollantaytambo and was very engaging.

Our favorite experience in Peru! Seledonia is a remarkable person and an incredible chef. We had so much fun visiting the market with her and then learning from her in her kitchen. Such a unique experience.

Great breakfast! Great overall value, room was spacious and clean

Loved this place, tucked away down an alley off of an alley, so quaint! Our room had a beautiful view of Cusco and opened to a nice outdoor patio.

Don’t let the dirt roads leading you here fool you, this was a beautiful place, especially in the evening hours when the garden lights come on. They have a spa too. Great breakfast, beautiful room.

My husband loved the huge bathroom, I loved the great view from the 6th floor breakfast room.

This was a favorite activity, a great “first excursion” and introduction to Peru. All the food was substantial and delicious. Our guide Valeria was exceptional and we visited street art and an art gallery also,

We ate at Ama, a great experience with its peaceful outdoor garden, philanthropic mission to help single mothers, and delicious food and dessert.

The terraced temple of Ollantaytambo was awesome. The stairs to the top are challenging at altitude but worth the hard work!

The floating reef island experience clearly catered to tourists but it was such an unusual place to call home and the family so sweet and willing to welcome us that I deem this experience worthwhile. We loved meeting Lupe and her little niece and daughter. She works so hard, we were happy to help chop vegetables in the kitchen for meals. We also helped till part of a potatoe field and bring the sheep down to graze, and we helped bring lunch to the kindergarten class. A truly immersive, slice of life experience for us.

We had a nice stay at this hotel located in the heart of Miraflores. The area is very safe and the hotel is near a supermarket, bank and many restaurants. The room was not very large but it was comfortable if a little noisy at night being in the heart of town. The service was excellent as was breakfast and the little courtyard and balcony are nice touches.

A beautifull setting with multiple swimming pools. The room was large and the bed excellent. We took the Pisco making tour but no one mentioned that is was solely in Spanish so not very enlightening. Breakfast is a buffet with a self serve coffee machine that was very impressive. Getting there was chanllenging due to rush hour traffic that barely moved.

Another beautiful and historic hotel. Simon Bolivar once stayed in the original hacienda! The grouds were beautiful and the location at the base of mountains was superb. Breakfast was a treat with a huge buffet and great service. The dinner setting was nice as well.

This hotel is in the heart of old Cusco off a narrow street. It was converted from a house and appears to be a work of love. Our room was on 2 levels with an incredible view of the city from the bedroom. A note for travellers is that the bathroom is on the lower floor so a steep staircase has to be navigated. It was not an issue for us but required some care. Breakfast was a small but complete buffet and hot offerings made to order. There is also a restaurant which we used for room service after a late arrival. There was also a sitting area with umbrella just outside our room with a great view of the city.

This was the most impressive hotel on the trip. It had a huge jaccuzy, fireplace and large bathroom. It backed onto a river and was in the heart of Aguas Calientes. They held our luggage while we visited Machu Pichu and would have transferred it ti the nearby train station had we requested it. We also chilled there at the end of the trip waiting for our train. The morning buffet also had a great setting on the riverfront.

we had difficulty finding each other. It's a nice perk after a long flight. Jesus was helpful in reassuring us that Bosco was nearby.

A great way too get a sense of Miraflores and Barranca. The bikes were delivered to our hotel where we were met by Maria who was a very experienced and safety conscious guide. We stayed mostly on bike paths with a couple of shortcuts on quiet side streets. We sampled local cuisine at three spots, on the whole memorable.

We had a driver and Andrew who was a very experienced guide. We visited the old town and spent quality time in the Larco museum.

Another trip highlight. We were picked up at our hotel by Alvaro in his Toyota 4Runner for an exploration of the desert on the coast in Paracas. Alvaro was charming and very knowledgeable about the area. We stopped at a local roadside coffee/bakery before doing some off road exploration of Alvaro's surfing haunts. A great time and some great pictures.

No Rating. We wisely decided to cut this part out because I had a stomach ailment

Fed the Alpacas and had a nice demontration of the art of weaving. The shop was very nice. When I didn't know what style I need for a gift they encouraged me to use their wifi for a whattapp call

Very cool Inca village that is still thriving, the hike was slightly more strenuous that Machu Pichu. Diego did a great job here.

This was a nice setting to see a variety of Humming birds from a viewing platform.

A beautiful setting at a high altitude lake. We viewed a variety of water fowl from a kind of large canoe with outrigger. We had a separate guide who was very enthusiastic. A lunch was served near the water and enjoyed by both guides, the driver Victor and ourselves on a beuatiful day.

This was a great experience. We looked at the reconstructed Inca agronomic experiments in a spectcular setting.

As expected, this was a highlight of the trip. The town of Aguas Caliente is a little overdeveloped and crowded but the organization for getting all the tourists onto the site was impressive. Diego said that the Machu Pichu train is the only one in Peru that leaves on time.

We added the cathedral to the itinerary which was a good idea. A great experience to see the integration of the Spanish and Indigenous cultures.

What a lovely spot in Sacred Valley. Enjoyed walking the grounds, stopping for coffee, enjoying drinks at the bar to take to the courtyard and walking up the street to the local brewery. A beautiful setting in the mountains.

Good location. Friendly and helpful staff - ability to check in early after international arrival was great. Good breakfast too!

A splurge for our anniversary. Incredible to be steps away from the entrance gates to MP. Full food and board and everything was excellent. The staff were so kind as well.

Nice location in San Blas. Rooms were comfortable and breakfast was just what we needed before a day exploring Cusco.

Brand new hotel. Extremely polite and helpful staff. We stayed here at the beginning and end of our Peru trip, so we left behind some purchases made during the first stay - the hotel was kind enough to hold it for our return. Very good breakfast, well furnished and comfortable room. Location is just a few minutes from the Larcomar Mall. We did not take advantage of the hotel facilities other than the Japanese restaurant, that was very good as well.

Running a large lodge in a location reachable only by boat is not easy. These guys are doing an excellent job. The lodge now has good internet (Starlink) and 24/7 power unlike what it says in earlier reviews. Meals were quite good given the remoteness of the location. Excellent excursions catering to a wide variety of interests - we took part in 3. I was uneasy about living in a room with one side completely open but that was not a problem.

Beautiful location, nice rooms with an excellent view of the hills. My only regret is that we arrived in the evening and left early morning without being able to explore the grounds, these were full of birds. Dining room gave us a surprisingly good dinner. Breakfast was the usual variety.

This hotel is just a pit stop on the way to or from Machu Pichu. I found the front desk quite rude and unhelpful - they assigned us a dinner slot of 9 PM and refused to change it when we said we had an early start at 6 AM the next day. Fortunately the restaurant crew were much more helpful and found us seating at 7.30 PM when I talked directly to the restaurant manager. Room was barebones and tiny. I've see cruise ship bathrooms that are larger. We had one towel and one bottle of water despite the room being booked for double occupancy - had to call the front desk to get these fixed. The restaurant staff were very nice. The coffee shop/bar was also fine - we waited there on our way out for a while and the staff was attentive. Front desk staff were perhaps the only rude people I met in Peru in two weeks.

Absolutely beautiful hotel that was previously a museum. Our room was booked with two twin beds - and the staff went out of their way to upgrade us to a suite instead. We had one dinner and three breakfasts here - all meals were good. Friendly helpful and polite staff. Everything was very clean. Excellent bathroom.

The hotel is old, and shows in it's dated layout and low ceiling rooms. It's well maintained however and we had a comfortable stay. The dining room can get crowded with large tour groups so book your dinner seating in advance. The location is a bit remote, and Puno doesn't have any good restaurants in any case so visitors end up having all their meals in the hotel.

My room was absolutely unforgettable. I wish I had arrived during the day just to take in the breathtaking view — the river flowed right below my window, and across it rose a sheer granite cliff. Falling asleep to the sound of the rushing water was pure magic. I had the best night’s sleep of my life!

The service, food and rooms were outstanding. The rooftop bar was my favorite....

This was a very nice boutique hotel. Our room was on the top floor and was we could hear lots of traffic noise and loud music. But the staff was wonderful!!!

Cusco was my favorite city we visited. I loved this hotel and the location. Food was very good and the staff was also great. I will be back one day!

Julio was so great!!!!!

I can't wait to return and do the 4 day hike!!
