Peru | Oct 2 - Oct 16, 2025

Disappointed on this one. We though we were booked at Las Brisas North, the main hotel in the heart of the old town area. The photo is from that hotel. Instead we were booked in the Las Brisas South hotel which is on the outskirts of town in an affluent neighborhood. This made is difficult to do anything with our free time except eat at the fancy restaunts (we planned on seeing museums missed on our tour).

Tourist hotel. Well organized money-making factory. Our package included a dinner which was fast, but boring plus they charged outragous amounts for the beverages that were not included. Appropriate for a bus tour groups, but not people who want the small group experience.

Restaurant was closed when we went, maybe because the main road outside the hotel was under construction. Very few other options for dinner. Good hotel otherwise. Seems like a place Peruvians go for business conferences.

Fine hotel. Just tell them to get better coffee for breakfast. Worst coffee that we had in the entire trip, which was a big disconnect to the quality of the hotel.

Hotel of former glory. Fun experience. The 1920's rooms felt like you were in the movie "The Shining". Bar was a highlight and was packed with Peruvians having a drink after work. In the heart of the old town, so everything is walking distance.

This experience was misleading. It was a fancy restaurant with a traditional cooking method. I thought we would be in a village with guinea pigs running around. Also, they had their own coffee roaster and whiskey distillery which was good for getting gifts, but made the experience feel completely modern. Owner was fantastic and personable guy, so I wish him success. Food good. Just rephrase the description
