Personalized trips to Peru
for independent travelers

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.

The hotel was so wonderful. I was genuinely surprised by all of its offerings. The rooms were large, clean, very modern and well decorated with great character. The kids love the lofted bed section. The building and grounds were stunning with old, well-maintained walkways, architecture, beautiful plants, eye-catching lighting , unique chapel, and more. The different restaurants and food spots offered a variety of options for our family. We enjoyed a high-end gourmet dinner one night, Pisco Sours at the bar, and homemade Italian pizza the next. My family also loved the breakfast buffet with the made-to-order omelets and fresh juices. I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone. It has a traditional local Peruvian flare mixed with modern amenities and a stellar staff.

After a 2 hour boat ride we pulled up to a steep set of stairs that led in to the heart of this beautiful oasis in the middle of the amazon jungle. It features several cabins and a main lodge. The lodge includes a bar, hammock area, sitting area and the main dining hall where we enjoyed community meals. Our cabins were large with screened in walls, beautiful wooden furniture, poster beds with mosquito nets and private bathrooms. The staff was incredibly friendly and quickly came to remove a large frog that made its way into my children's cabin. I would highly recommend this place for people who are ready to have a jungle adventure.

We woke up very early to see the sunrise while we were boating to the clay licks. Our guide John set up his scope so we could see the different types of macaws and parrots flying around the clay lick. The crew prepared a lovely breakfast for us before we headed back to the Finca by boat. In the afternoon we hiked to Condenado Lake where we saw a family of feisty river otters and then enjoyed time fishing for piranhas. My kids just loved catching them! Luckily the rain opened up on us to cool us down a bit. Fantastic day in the jungle!

Definitely a highlight of our trip. We woke up early and took the van to the train station. Our train stopped halfway through, and the last three cars joined together for live music, drinks and dancing! Felt like we were in a movie - it was so magical. We arrived at the train stop and took a bus up a very steep switchback road until we reached the top. Our prebooked tickets put us on the second circuit, and we saw some of the most incredible views. Our tour guide Willy was very knowledgeable and helped bring the Inca empire to life for our family. We were amazed by their planning, building and craftsmanship. Highly recommend this adventure!

Really enjoyed learning about the Inca empire - from the salt quarries and agricultural testing to the fort and Inca trail, this was an educational day.

The kids just absolutely adored feeding the llamas and learning about them. The tour guide was a young local man who was learning English and seemed to really enjoy engaging with us. Great way to open up our trip to the Andean region.

Nancy led our family on a fabulous walking tour of Barranca. We love the ceviche at awhich, the fish sandwiches at Horneando and of course, making our own chocolate!! Her knowledge of the history and culture of the area was great and helped us better understand the neighborhood. We also enjoyed checking out the street art from Jade and other local artists.
