Andean Travel Experience

This is a lovely hotel with on a beautiful property with a great restaurant. The downside is that it is a bit of a walk from the main square and located right beside the very busy train station. The first night we had dinner there and could smell the diesel fumes from the trains as they idled out front. Some people may appreciate the proximity to the train station, but I would have preferred to stay closer to the main part of town.

The staff at this hotel were wonderful. The hotel itself is being renovated with obvious signs of construction throughout. Unfortunately, not enough thought has gone into making the rooms accommodating for travellers. For instance, there was an outlet at the head of the bed - which would have been fine, except it was located directly behind the mattress and not usable. The walls were empty which made the room feel stark - but probably due to the renovations.

This was a fantastic hotel! Well located in Cusco - walking distance to the main square, and near many artists and shops and restaurants. The hotel itself is beautiful with many small touches to make guests feel welcome. For instance, they warm the beds with hot water bottles and offer tea bags and a thermos of hot water to make tea in your room when you arrive. The breakfast was included and it was excellent! One of the best I've had. There were many healthy choices at the partial buffet, and you also order eggs and other food from the menu.

This is a fantastic lodge in the Amazon rainforest. The rooms are open air with one whole wall of the room open to the forest. The beds had mosquito nets that were lowered prior to bedtime. It was a unique experience - like sleeping outside with all the wonderful sounds of the rainforest. It was quite hot and humid and there was no air conditioning anywhere on property. The food was very good and the tours were also excellent.

Beautiful hotel, perfect place to relax with the hot pool on site. The staff were very nice and the location was spectacular!

The location is perfect for travelers, right across the street from the airport, and the shuttle drivers are very nice and efficient!

The staff were so friendly and helpful! We stayed here for two nights over 3 days (as we went up to the canyon for a night), the staff kept our luggage for us and we were able to use there laundry service. When we came by to check in for the second night, our luggage and clean clothes were ready for us in our room!

Best location by far! It was located inside the train station, so in the morning we just had to step outside to get on the train. The rooms were so nice, and the grounds had lots of plants and gardens around, just so beautiful!

Our guide was fantastic! She met us right at the train station and gave us a quick tour around while we waited to get on our first bus. It was so amazing to have a tour guide just for us, it made the experience so much better, 100% worth it rather than in a large group. She was so knowledgeable about the history and could answer our questions, and took a bunch of group photos for us! At the end of the tour we asked for a restaurant recommendation and she showed us this amazing little restaurant that looked over the river, which had really great food!

The private tour was really neat, we loved going for the short hike to see the ruins, our guide was really entertaining and it was really great how he went in-depth to explain the terraces. Best part was his restaurant recommendation, he gave us a couple different types of food options and the Lomo Saltado was my husband's favourite meal of our entire Peru trip.

The bus from Lima was amazing, it had these giant lazy-boy style seats and curtains for privacy/napping, which was good relaxing start to the trip. Our driver to our hotel and to the airport for the nazca lines was so great and helpful, he helped us check in and made the pre-flight process so smooth. The flight itself was not super great. The pilots really ensure that both sides of the plane get equal viewing time for each set of Nazca lines, which is really cool, but after the first 10 mins of flying over the lines (not including the first part of the flight which is just to get to the location) it was a lot. 3 out of the 4 of us felt very motion sick from the hard twists and turns of the plane! It was really cool to see, but maybe instead from the viewing platform!

Our driver made the day absolutely fantastic! He was super informative about the locations we passed and the types of fruits and vegetables that were being grown in the region. Everything was on time and well planned, lunch was great, the pisco lesson/tour while we waited for our lunch was really interesting. Our drive back to lima was relaxing, and it was crazy to see the traffic at that time of day going through the city.

It was really good! I loved trying the local foods, and having the guide go in-depth about the foods and history was really neat!

This was one of the best parts of our trip. The guide was so great and helped us work through the altitude changes with multiple recommendations and stops along the way. It was so great to hear the history and learn about the lives of people in the highlands.

The condor viewpoint was amazing, that short little walk to see the other viewpoint was really cool as well. The guide was great, we got to see the volcano in the background smoking, which so neat to see!

This is a estate/mansion renovated into a hotel, located in the San Blas tourist district in Cusco. The hotel serves complimentary hot water & cocoa tea to help cope with altitude sickness. All rooms have comfortable beds and continuous running hot water. The staff here are helpful and courteous. Overall the place is great; but the couple of nits are that: 1. as a boutique hotel the rooms aren't uniform - we weren't satisfied with the initial room offered that was a converted attic, but the staff offered a good alternate room. 2. The space heaters provided aren't effective against the cold nights in Cusco and need to be updated; though the blankets/wool provided do help.

Wonderful hotel, located close to the Ollantaytambo main square and the train station. The rooms were clean, spacious and comfortable. The heater had a very slow pickup, but considering the weather was warm that didn't bother us. The breakfast options were from locally sourced vendors - breads, cereal and milk tasted very good. Staff were very courteous, and stored our luggage for a day as trains to Agauas Calientes don't accommodate heavy luggage. Overall, a great, reasonably priced option in the Sacred Valley!

Simple, decent hotel room in Aguas Calientes for an overnight stay. Rooms are clean, albeit a bit small and do not have AC/heater (considering its in a rainforest area, weather is a bit temperate and humid).

Stayed in two Terra Via hotels - very nice and great locations/staff. However both rooms did not have a refrigerator which would have been nice.

Entire two day excursion was amazing - diverse landscapes.

Amazing food, great view of the mountains.
