Kimkim Trip Reviews for Peru

A great adventure! Wonderful staff and delicious meals. Really appreciated the borrowing of rubber boots! Special note to our guide at Posada Amazonas Lodge who had an awesome knowledge of every animal and their sound from monkeys and macaws to frogs and ants (and could find them in the undergrowth) and every leaf or fruit and their use, taste and growth cycle.

Very nice cottage and main building with excellent dining

Good location. Big jacuzzi tub but jets didn’t work. Great breakfast

Great hotel with excellent bar, restaurant breakfast buffet and bagged breakfast

Amazing food. Loved the open wall in the room to the jungle. Incredible guides and activities!

This hotel’s location is in the heart of Cusco with the old city feeling. They also provide good service and good breakfast!

The staff were good and kind! Great breakfast food, the hotel is clean and organized. It’s also close to the bus and train.

Very cute! They also have really good services and good food in the restuarant.

The very reason I booked a trip to Peru! It didn’t dissapoint! The Machu Picchu is very charming and amazing, our tour guides, Emilia is also very knowledgeable with the history and patient with us and provided us with ample amounts of rest breaks especially with the stairs part!

Breathtaking literally and figuratively.

Great hotel and the farm is amazing!

Worst hotel of the trip. No towels, soap. Portable fan was only air conditioning. Not what we expected.

Average hotel. Location was good. We were able to se the coast within a short walk.

Good location and good hotel over all. Restaurant in hotel was good as well.

The lunch at the farm was amazing!

We were lucky with the weather. I can understand why dry season is busy. What a beautiful wonder of the world.

The lunch at the lodge after rafting was fun! Americo was our raft guide and he as great.

Oscar was very knowledgeable and we had a great tour of the city and church .

The team at Hotel Antigua Miraflores was stellar. The doorman and front reception were professional and service focused and always with a smile. The restaurant and bar service and food were excellent. The accommodations were super clean and very comfortable.

Outstanding property and staff. Exceeded our expectations in all levels.

Location good and rooms adequate.

Cool

This hotel was a jewel. It's tucked in a narrow street and you don't know how beautiful it is until you go through the door. The patio is the first thing you see and it's so pretty-lots of seating and firepits for cool nights. The restaurant is right off the rear and the bar as well, both of which are great. Our room was perfect for us. A comfortable king size bed, several bottles of water throughout the room, space for our clothes, and coffee/tea if we wanted it. The room was very clean and the waters were replaced several times each day and there is also a filtered water fountain in the lobby. Everyone was very friendly and personable. We had a spa treatment our last day (massage and then they hyperbaric chamber--so great!) and that was wonderful. The lobby has a neat little room off to the side that has waters, teas, and coffee for you. The restaurant was great too--we ate breakfast there each morning which included a delicious buffet with fruits, oatmeal, breads, salads, fresh juices, and coffee or you could order from the menu. They also served lunch and dinner, and everything we ate was yummy. The bar staff was so friendly and made drink recommendations for us. We loved sitting at the open window at the bar and watching the activity on the patio. The location was great--within walking distance of so many restaurants, shops, market places. The entire vibe was wonderful and we would definitely stay there again.

This was one of the best things we did. Seledonia was so much fun and although she couldn't speak much English and we couldn't speak Spanish, we could communicate wonderfully through smiles, laughter and gestures. She took us, along with our guide, to a local market that was incredible. All the vegetables, fruits, spices, meats, potatoes--it was mind blowing. And so beautiful!! We picked out the items we needed to make our dinner and then walked to her restaurant, Mama Seledonia's. We chopped and diced and had a grand time. We also got to make Pisco Sours, a delightful cocktail that was delicious. We had so much fun shaking those and dancing around. Our first course was a lamb stew that percolated on the stove while we chopped more veggies and spiced our filets for the main course, a delicious Peruvian-Asian fusion dish served with rice. We sauteed all that up on an open flame and didn't burn the place down. For dessert we had fresh fruit, fresh cheeses, and this amazing bread that we dipped in some sort of magical melted chocolate drink. The whole experience was absolutely incredible. We laughed and hugged and had the absolute best time. Her whole staff was so friendly, even though you know we were in their way (the restaurant was open for business). We met her husband and 2 of her children and they were delightful as well. We loved it so much, that later that week when we met up with some of our retreat group members, we all went to dinner at Mama Seledonia's and it was by far one of the best meals we had while in Peru. I highly recommend you do the cooking class.

The lake was so pretty and our guide was a very passionate young man who loved the outdoors and taking us on our kayak journey. We were given wetsuits and taken to the water to start paddling. It was a very quiet lake, we were the only people on it for the longest time. Our guide told us about all the mountain ranges, the different birds that are there, some of the history, and at the end I jumped off and went swimming. The water was so refreshing! Oh, we also so flamingos. It was a great trip. Not very strenuous at all. After kayaking, we went back to shore and showered (they have a rudimentary outdoor shower) and were given a wonderful lunch cooked totally outdoors in a clay oven. It was so good, along with fresh fruits. Again, the people there were so kind and friendly. We were lucky and the weather was perfect!

This was a lot of fun--ATVs are a great way to get around! We had a little "training" session first before heading out and then we followed out guide off to Moray to see the Incan Experimental Lab. There wasn't much traffic and he went slowly so we didn't have to worry about keeping up. He gave signals to us when to change gears and when to slow down/stop. We were able to stop and take photos and ask questions. The Experimental Lab was incredible to see--the ingenuity of the Incans is mind blowing. We were there for about 15 minutes and then we went back the way we came and dropped the ATVs off. The whole ATV experience was probably 1.5-2 hours. We definitely enjoyed it. We then got back in our van and went to the Maras salt flats. There weren't many people there as it was late in the afternoon, so that was nice. The salt flats are beautiful, and the reflection of the sun just enhanced their beauty. Julio, our trusty guide, filled us in on the history, past and present, and it was fascinating. We saw some women actually scraping the salt into piles to let it dry. On the way out, we bought some salt to bring home with us. Definitely worth visiting.

difficult to enjoy due to the extreme heat and humidity.

What a place! The staff and the hotel were 10/10 in every way. It really is a beautiful small boutique hotel (with 4 rooms) in a brilliant Buenos Aires neighborhood.

Beautiful! We could have stayed here for weeks; it was very peaceful in beautiful surroundings. The food and spa next to the river were also just perfect.

What a 3 days in the Amazon! Just incredible. Our guide Henry was a fountain of knowledge throughout. What a location, too! The food was great, and the stunning main house where you eat is beautiful. The only thing needed was some pillows for the chairs at the tables; it would make dining much more comfortable. ;)

Stunning hotel in the center of Cusco just beautiful! Make sure you look out for the baby alpaca in the courtyard; he loves carrots! :) We loved the spa and water therapy as well; it’s a must after a long day or if you need some R&R.

Jungle hotel where you are right in it, with bouncing bridges that connect the buildings (fun)! There’s a great adults' pool overlooking the river (perfect for a few sundowners). We found it to be the perfect laid-back hotel for exploring Iguazu.

Right in the center of town, great location, and just 1 minute from the train station. It’s okay for a night with a view if you’re there to see Machu Picchu, but the rooms could use some better ventilation plus quite noisy. The staff were helpful, and oxygen is available quickly if the altitude gets to you.

Perfect city hotel right on the Pacific Ocean!

Wonderful hotel, Fabulous restaurant at the hotel, and Luis and the front desk was soooo helpful! Thank you! Terry

Patricia was fabulous!

This hotel was a delight! The setting is beautiful among native trees and plants - the hotel staff were knowledgeable and very helpful and welcoming - the restaurant provided delicious food and great service and the location is so convenient if you plan on riding the train to Macho Piccho or anywhere else!

This trip was great. We took our kids, 13 and 16 years old, and they loved it. A nice adventure that didn't take up the entire day so we have an opportunity to see and do more afterwards.

Great variety in this tour! Got to see and taste some local foods and help in the preparation, saw several sites, and learned a ton. Able to do some shopping as well. A great way to get a feel for the city and culture.

We loved Colca Canyon - the only thing that would make it better is to take fewer stops and stay longer at the ones you do stop at. It felt rushed to only be at a location for about 15 minutes.

The Amazon was amazing. The lodge was great - very clean and nicely maintained. The food was wonderful. And our guide, Rolando, was the best! We couldn't have asked for more!

The tour was wonderful, and checked off a bucket list item for us! We learned a lot on the tour, felt like we had the right amount of time and got to see everything, and really enjoyed our tour guide. We got to shop a bit in town and have lunch after the tour, which was great as wel.

Long car ride, but stunning views! This was one of my kids' favorite activities!

Comfortable hotel with excellent breakfast included. Great location within walking distance of Huaca Cullana, Love Park, shopping, and restaurants.

We happened to be staying during a busy time with large tour groups and a lot of noise that interfered with sleep.

Great view of the lake from the restaurant

This was a lovely property. The room was spacious, clean and lovely. The owners were a delight to interact with and had great suggestions regarding how to spend our time in the town and places for great food.

Our guide was very attentive. We enjoyed the day and learned a lot about the culture.

We had a wonderful day exploring the ruins. Our guide was very knowledgeable and friendly which is appreciated.
