I enjoy slow travel, ideally being in one country for a month where I can really get to know the local people, their way of life and of course their food! I am Peruvian-American and have traveled through many of the beautiful countries LATAM has to offer.

What places and activities do you specialize in?

"I specialize in all things South America! You can count on me to recommend the best cafés and restaurants in town specially in Lima, the gastronomical capital of Latin America. "

How did you get involved in travel?

"Back in 2011 I joined a study abroad culinary program in Peru. Here, my curiosity began to burst. Not only did I want to travel everywhere In Peru but I wanted to learn about different cultures and different food and techniques the world has to offer. Now no matter where I travel, making a stop at a local market is at the top of my list! "

Please share a unique travel experience you will never forget.

"In 2012 I went to Iquitos with a couple of German friends, we camped out in an indigenous community in the middle of the Amazon, it was not at all glamorous, but one of the most memorable trips. I got to learn so much about how the community lived, their culture, their food, and their reality. It was both eye-opening and life-changing. "

Really enjoyed our tour with Pablo our guide. We were the only two we had plenty of time with him. We learned a significant amount of the history of the city and of course the river, the peoples that settled there. I always appreciate getting that kind of information it gives you a feeling for what the city was and has become. Lot of architecture and of course tours of the parks which are really overwhelmingly frequent in Buenos Aires

The Remota Patagonia Lodge in Puerto Natales was absolutely lovely. The ambiance and service were excellent, making our stay enjoyable and relaxing.

Hosteria El Paraiso
El Chalten

Hosteria El Paraiso in El Chaltén was not as comfortable as expected due to the lack of air conditioning. The hot weather made it difficult to sleep peacefully. It would have been helpful to know this in advance, as I could have brought a small fan. However, the location itself was beautiful.

Full-Day Trek to the Base of Torres del Paine
Chile

The Full-Day Trek to the Base of Torres del Paine was quite interesting. We ended up walking the trail on our own as the guide allowed us to break off due to our quicker pace and the large number of hikers. The guide wasn't necessary since the hike was straightforward, and we felt that only transportation was needed, as the guided aspect was minimal and mostly in Spanish.

Kimkim got it straightened out but that was a rough start at the airport. Several times we didn't get the room we thought we were getting (twins instead of kings, etc.) and at one time in Cusco we were dropped off at the bottom of a set of stairs (with all our luggage) to get to our hotel because the driver said he couldn't go down our street. At the end of the trip we were asked to pay for our rooms because there was confusion about payment from KimKim.

I would like to say that Kimkim was very helpful in connecting us with a pharmacy when my husband forgot his insulin in the Amazon.

Thank you for sharing your feedback about your trip. I’d like to address a few points regarding your transfers. The driver was at the airport to meet you, but it seems there was a miscommunication about how to locate him. As soon as you contacted us at our emergency number, we were able to connect you with the driver who had been waiting. To avoid this in the future, we’ve instructed our drivers to display both the guest's name and “Miski Travels” on the sign, which should make it easier for future travelers to spot them.

Regarding your arrival in Aguas Calientes by train, the hotel staff is generally present at the station to assist guests with walking to the hotel after the train arrives. Unfortunately, there are no car transfers available in this rural area. I apologize if this wasn’t clear, and we will provide better instructions on how to locate the hotel staff at the station, so they can assist in guiding our future guests to the hotel.

We’ve processed the refund for the hotel payment you had to pay, and we do apologize for any confusion this caused toward the end of your trip as it was not our intention. If you could let us know which hotel rooms did not meet your expectations, I would be happy to follow up with our team to understand what happened. Some of the hotel locations are in areas where larger vehicles have difficulty accessing, so our team did their best to get you as close as possible to the entrance. We’ve made a note to be more mindful when booking travelers in the San Blas area to ensure smoother access.

Thanks again for your valuable feedback, and we appreciate your understanding.
