We had an absolutely wonderful time while we were in Peru. The accommodations that we had were excellent. We enjoyed all of them in the various places that we stayed. The food was incredible and we had so much fun trying the different cuisines. Our guides and drivers were too notch. Susie in Lima was so much fun to be around and we loved the information that she shared with us. Edwin who was our guide to the Colca Canyon was so knowledgeable and excited to show us the condors as well as teach us about the plants in this area. Leo in the Sacred Valley was very enjoyable to explore with and learn more about Moray and the slat flats at Maras. Then our guide Henry on the Inca Trail was so fun and helpful along the way. Everyone was so friendly and helpful and punctual throughout the whole trip. We had the experience of a lifetime.

This was a wonderful little place with quiet and comfortable rooms. Wish we could have stayed more than one night. They had a lovely little courtyard that we enjoyed immensely.
