Amazing trip to Peru!
Peru

Aug 25 - Sep 4, 2023
We had an amazing trip in Peru, planned by Martina with Kimkim. All our local guides were great, and we enjoyed all the places we visited. We booked a private tour and our guides were very flexible with timing and such. We started the tours each morning, and were back to the hotel late afternoon everyday and it felt like a nice mix between guided tour and free time for ourselves each day. Some thing that could have done better -
1. We arrived in Lima late in the evening and were supposed to have a free half day to tour Lima ourselves the next day, before we flight to Cusco in the afternoon(we asked for an afternoon flight so we could have the free half day in Lima). That's why we chose to stay in a hotel in Miraflores(45mins from the airport) instead of right by the airport. However, the pick up time to the airport was 9am for our 1pm flight. We ended up staying in a hotel far from the airport for no reason, wasting our whole morning, just waiting at the airport for the flight.
2. Our return flight from Lima was around midnight so we had a full long day. The tour planned originally was to go to Caral archaeological site, which is 4.5 hours each way. That's 9 hours of car time plus we had to fly home that night. So instead, we decided to do a Lima city tour instead(since again we couldn't do it ourselves earlier). The tour was good, but it did feel like it was dragged long because we had so much time to fill. The local guides were very flexible though, changing our plans from Caral to Lima city tour with short notice.
Overall, we still had a great experience with Kimkim and would go with them again.
Hotel Reviews
Room was clean, nothing special. Not a ton of options at breakfast, poor wifi connection
Great hotel! Stayed here twice with different rooms, both were great! Friendly staff, tea time every night. They had a really good spa menu too.
Cute hotel right at the train station, super easy to take the train to Machu Picchu. Although it's right at the train station, we couldn't hear the train from our room at all. They have a nice farm of animals and vegetables, and a very nice restaurant that uses fresh seasonable vegetables from their garden.
Nice lodge, friendly staff. It's amazing how many excursions you could go on just around their lodge. Food was good too!
