Anne was awesome!! She worked with me for 7 months to build the best vacation I've ever had! Anne and the KimKim website were incredibly flexible to create our dream vacation, including multiple cities and excursions!

She was extremely communicative before/during the trip!

She planned for us to:
-Go to the Amazon (as well as excursions for our time there)
- The Inca Trail and surrounding areas (HIGHLY RECOMMEND DOING THE "Traditional Andean Underground Cooking Experience"
-Machu Picchu
-Cusco (HIGHLY RECOMMEND DOING THE "Chocolate Workshop")
-Paracas (HIGHLY RECOMMEND DOING THE "Ballestas Island Boat Tour")

Hotel Reviews
Inkaterra Hacienda Concepción
Puerto Maldonado

This is the most beautiful and memorable hotel I have ever been to in my entire life! Every room is a beautiful private bungalow, only accessible by canoeing down the Amazon River. The meals were not only included, but Michelin Star equivalent. They also offered excursions every day to make the trip more memorable (canopy bridges, boat rides, exploring the rainforest, etc.)

Beautiful hotel with fun bar on top, making it easy to mingle with other guests! The staff was also incredibly kind, as they made us a "To-Go Breakfast" to make our stay more enjoyable, while preparing for an early flight (you need to give them 24+ hours of notice).

La Hacienda Bahía Paracas
Paracas

This is an incredibly beautiful hotel!! Nothing but luxury. Staff was so kind, including all reception workers and waiters. It made travel to the Little Galapagos and the Nazca Lines incredibly easy. The hotel also offered free usage of bikes and kayaks! Forewarning, there are gates all over this community (all homes and hotels), giving the impression that it's not safe to travel outside of the walls of the hotel. If you're hoping to lounge at the hotel, it's perfect! If you're hoping to explore the city, I would recommend visiting another town.

This was a surprising experience, as I assumed it was a walking tour of the islands. In reality, it's a beautiful boat tour around the islands, finding penguins, star fish, birds, and sea lions. Absolutely incredible experience!!
