Fabulous Trip to Peru
Peru

Nov 11 - Dec 3, 2025
We had a wonderful trip to Peru, organized by Johanna and Kristy of Kimkim.
The helpful suggestions in the original trip planning stage were much appreciated, and the on the ground support, the drivers who met us at transition points and the helpful and well informed guides, were all terrific.
The trip was tailored to our needs and preferences, and the support made the entire trip relatively stress free. Peru is an amazing travel destination. The history, the natural beauty and the varied terrain were all incredible. However, it is a large and complex country, and I am glad that we didn't try to navigate our trip without the substantial help and assistance from our local guides and drivers.
Hotel Reviews
This hotel is really lovely, with one of the most beautiful gardens we saw the entire trip. Our room was comfortable and clean, and the breakfasts were tasty.
We had a lovely room, and a great view from the roof top. Breakfast was good, and the bed was comfortable. Location was good, and while a little bit outside the heart of the busy town, it was a short walk, and we appreciated the quiet.
Great location, comfortable, and clean room. We liked everything about this hotel.
Very good breakfast, and it was a relief to have the airport for our late night arrival. The room was comfortable and clean.
Nice views of the Lake from our room, and when we had a logistical challenge with one of our pick ups, the staff at the hotel went WAY out of their way to help us sort it out. Room was large, clean and comfortable, and the bed was great.
This lodge is quite a remarkable experience. The rooms and walkways are open to the air, and this gives it an unusual connection to the surrounding jungle. A variety of birds are close, and I saw monkeys one morning from the living room. A slight downside of this arrangement: you can hear people in the adjacent room if they are not quiet. The beds were comfortable, and the bathrooms were memorable in a good way. Great showers. The hardworking staff were friendly and helpful. Food was good, and the overall experience was certainly a highlight of our trip.
This hotel was comfortable. The hotel did lose power while we were there, but that is not their fault I assume. The staff was helpful in sorting out emergency lighting for us. Room was comfortable and clean.
The room was fine, but our particular room had a window onto an interior airshaft which made it a bit noisy. The location was extremely good, right on the main square. Breakfast served on the rooftop, with gorgeous views in every direction. That was very special.
This hotel is part of a very big complex, and the room and the breakfast were both top notch. We had a great view from our balcony, and the staff were very nice and helpful. We ate at a couple of the restaurants, lunch and dinner, and had very delicious fresh fish.
While the staff was overall very nice, and the rooms were fine, we ended up with an unpleasant experience being placed in a room that was next to some rooms that were undergoing fumigation. I still do not understand how the lovely young woman who helped us at the main desk could have placed us in a room in this situation. In general, other than this one situation, we had a good experience there, but this situation was disappointing The food was fine at breakfast, and the hotel structure was very pretty and elegant.
