Our trip to Peru was absolutely outstanding—we loved every moment of it! The itinerary was thoughtfully planned, allowing us to experience the rich culture, stunning landscapes, and historical wonders the country has to offer.

One of the highlights of the trip was the incredible tour guides at each location. They were not only friendly and welcoming but also extremely knowledgeable and passionate about sharing their insights. Their expertise truly enriched our experience and helped us connect more deeply with each destination.

If there’s one suggestion I would make, it’s regarding the accommodation. While the 5-star hotels were certainly luxurious, the nature of the trip was so full-on that we barely spent any time at the hotels—essentially just to sleep and go. In this context, more modest accommodations could have been more practical and cost-effective, without compromising the overall experience.

Overall, it was an unforgettable journey, and we highly recommend this tour to anyone wanting to explore the best of Peru.

Amazing, amazing, amazing. Loved every bit of our stay here. Unique and adventurous experience. The pods were clean and not as cold as I thought they would be. The hot tubs had the best views and were very clean. The climb to the pods was exhilarating thrilling and the views were spectacular. Best breakfast and dinner made by the friendly staff. The Zip line experience was out of this world, the best ever. Everything about Starlodge was awesome can’t fault anything. All the staff were amazing.
