We had an amazing trip to Peru. The KimKim team planned an adventure that touched on many different activities including a food tour in Lima, a Hacienda luncheon in the Sacred Valley, 4 wheeling to salt mines, the rainbow mountains, a luxury train ride to Punta, a boat trip to the floating villages with a luncheon at a private residence. Then, there was the Inca Trail hike which was both challenging and amazing with a culminating visit to Machu Picchu. We were impacted by altitude and could have benefitted by an additional day acclimating so that should be a consideration for anyone visiting Peru. And this is an early to bed, early to rise trip as most of the tours start early to beat the traffic and because some locations take longer to get to than the distance implies. Our hotels, particularly in the smaller towns, were quaint with impeccable service. Guides were generally knowledgeable and easy to understand. Everything went pretty smoothly; pickups were as scheduled and there was a lot of coordination between our guides and our drivers. Highly recommended!

Your tip about the altitude and early starts is very true and will surely help future travelers. I’m glad to know everything went smoothly and that you felt well looked after throughout the journey.
