Our adventure in Peru was absolutely AMAZING! Every site, city, trek, hotel, and delicious meal was expertly crafted by KimKim. We cherished every single moment of this incredible journey with our closest friends. Our agent, Kristy, was an absolute rock star! She was there for us at every turn, handling any challenges that came our way with lightning speed and efficiency. Thanks to her, our experience was completely seamless and unforgettable. We can’t wait to plan our next trip with KimKim! Huge thank you!!

From beginning to end, our trip to Peru was an incredible experience and one of the best trips of our lives!

We started with just the idea of hiking the Inca Trail into Machu Picchu and the number of days we wanted to spend on our trip. KimKim connected us to the incredible Kristy, who put together an amazing itinerary of places that I didn’t know that I would love.. but I did!

What’s more is that when the trail was closed due to mudslides (which we found out at the airport waiting for our flight), Kristy was on it and booked us on the Lares Trail, which was phenomenal. In many ways, better than I expected, as it took us over a mountain and through tiny villages, where we could experience the Peruvian culture.

Highlights of our trip included Rainbow Mountain (a must), the train from Cusco to Puno (a blast!!), Lake Titicaca (such a neat place), Sacred Valley, and Machu Picchu.

All of our accommodations were great (Antiguay in Cusco and Inkaterra at Machu Picchu being particular amazing) and we would recommend to others. Perhaps best of all were all the guides and transfers Kristy arranged to make it easy and seamless. Valario in the Sacred Valley and Jose in Puno were really awesome!

We had another change at the end of our trip and we ended up skipping Lima due to some political unrest there. With Kristy’s help we discovered Mancora, a beach town on the Pacific coast of Peru. We stayed in a resort there called Arennas and it turned out to be the perfect relaxing end to such a memorable trip!

Even though I indicated that I was gluten free and celiac, most of the places where I had access to meals either didn't know to prepare me a special meal, or didn't do it. Many of the staff at the hotels, had no idea whether items contained gluten. It was incredibly frustrating trying to get food that I could eat at the hotels where we were resided.

The indication that something was gluten free was 'libre de sin gluten'. Some restaurateur's knew what this meant and some just said no in order to avoid any discussion.

I had to either find my own food and read the labels or eat only meat and cheese. EVEN the corn flakes had gluten. The FRITO Lays Potato chips contained gluten.

This issue should have been dealt with prior to my departure. Including representing that most of the restaurants were unaware of a gluten free need.

This was a big item on my bucket list so I’m glad I went. But I didn’t really realize how far away it is. It was a solid 3 to 3 1/2 hour car drive. We stopped for both lunch and breakfast on the way there. It was very far away. I didn’t like lunch or breakfast. The restaurant buffet serve was really not that good. The hike up rainbow Mountain was fine. We rented horses. Again, it wasn’t explained well to us, but it’s a one-way ride up only. You walk the rest of the way. Which was fine. It snowed the night before so we actually couldn’t see the rainbow in the rainbow mountains. Again, in hindsight, I wish we had use us as a stopping point head further south towards lake Tacoma.
