Apr 25 - May 7, 2024
We used kimkim because we didn't have a ton of time to plan the logistics of hoping so over Peru ourselves. So glad we did! Nicholas included little gems like visiting the Amaru Community that we never would've found ourselves. And when we had an issue with missing a connecting flight, the team was with us every step in figuring out Plan B. Best of all, every guide we had--especially Guido for Machu Picchu--was top notch. The guides were local, very knowledgeable, and willing to share cultural explanations and advice. I would definitely use kimkim to book another trip.

So different than anything I've experienced.

Loved the stops and the food. Found myself seeking out the fruits from the first stop and lucuma from the ice cream through the whole rest of our trip. Wish we had learned more about the neighborhood history on the tour. We learned some, but I wouldn't mind more. The pace was also a little rushed. Felt like we were scrambling to keep eating

Really enjoyed learning about this style of cooking and helping to do it. The coffee and distillery were neat add-ons while we waited for the food to cook.

A great introduction to the Andes and a good time for a rest.

Just incredible. Kind of wish I'd allotted time for more hiking.
