We had an incredible experience in Peru! Everything from tours, transportation and accommodations were seamless and absolutely amazing! We didn’t realize how many guides and drivers we would come in contact with. Keep notes along the way. I wish we could thank each and every one of them. Davit was an incredible tour guide in the Sacred Valley. He met up with us again for a Cusco city tour. Jacquelyn was an amazing guide in Machu Picchu. We highly recommend the Duna Camp “glamping” experience. As you’re making your way to Machu Picchu, you must stay a couple of nights in Tambo del Inka in Urubamba. It’s an incredible resort with an awesome spa. If you visit between June 9-28, you will have the opportunity to enjoy cultural celebrations throughout the highlands. It was an AMAZING vacation! Peru is a beautiful country that we will encourage all our friends and family to visit. Thank you Liz for organizing this amazing trip for us!

What an incredible experience! It’s a must when you visit Peru! Dune buggy rides, sand tubing and sand boarding are all part of the experience. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Holiday Inn Lima Airport

We returned from glamping in Huacachina to the airport hotel. We are so happy we were so close to the airport. We had a morning flight to Cusco. Traffic is insane in Lima.

You MUST visit this resort when staying in the Sacred Valley. It was incredible! The resort is beautiful inside and out. Do yourself a favor and visit the spa. I had the 90 minute Kallpa massage with Marilia. It was the absolute best massage I have ever had! Don’t skip this one.

The location of this hotel was great! There is no heat/air, but it wasn’t too bad in June. The rooftop breakfast was nice.

This hotel was okay. It was clean and well-kept. There is no heat/air. It was quite chilly in June. Fortunately they had a space heater in the room. It was off the beaten path and little difficult to get to. We’d prefer to stay closer to the main plaza.

Our tour guide was amazing, but I’m going blank on his name. 😕 It was our very first experience. We saw the highlights of Lima. We enjoyed this tour.

We enjoyed our wine tasting and tour of Tacama Winery. The grounds are beautiful. It was the perfect stop before boarding a five-hour bus ride back to Lima. Highly recommend.
