Overall it is an excellent trip. Airport pickup and drop off services were great, but there were some issues with hotel reservations. The hotels in Lima and Cusco booked 2 rooms with 4 travelers, but we had 5 travelers. KimKim was able to solve the issue immediately with minimal delay.
In detail:
The Posada Amazonas Lodge experience is excellent. All the people from Posada Amazonas are super friendly and helpful. We lost 1 luggage on the trip from Lima to Puerto Maldonado. The manager of Posada Amazonas was able to locate our luggage and deliver to the lodge the next day. Our guide, Freet, is very knowledgeable and accommodating.
In Cusco, our guide, Sonia, was very nice and experienced and took us to see many amazing places, from Machu Picchu to Rainbow Mountain. She provided great advice along the way and we learned a lot from her, especially the Inka history.

This hotel is OK. We understand this is the backup choice since we could not et Palacio del Inka. As 3 stars hotel, it is a place to sleep. This location is not bad, next to Palacio del Inka.
