Johanna helped us arrange a memorable family trip to Peru. We enjoyed every moment of our holiday thanks to the good planning and well executed logistics of the trip. Special mention must go to Edy from Cusi Travel who accompanied us on several days and hiked with my husband and son. His passion for his people and his country shone through and we enjoyed learning from him.
Thanks to Kimkim and Johanna for ensuring everything went smoothly and accommodating us when changes needed to be made. We won't hesitate in using Kimkim to plan future trips.

Hotel Reviews
Casa República
Barranco, Lima

Casa República in Lima was absolutely delightful. We loved staying in this charming old building with its personalized treatment from the staff. It had a very personal, boutique feel that made us feel right at home. The service was exceptional, and the vibe of the place was just perfect for us. It was the ideal start to our trip. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone who prefers a more intimate and unique hotel experience

Antigua Casona San Blas
Cusco

Staying at Antigua Casona San Blas in Cusco was wonderful. This hotel had a very traditional and cozy atmosphere, which we appreciated greatly. It felt very personal and was definitely our style. The service was attentive and the ambiance was perfect for our first stay in Cusco. It truly set the tone for the rest of our trip.

Palacio del Inka Cusco
Cusco

Our stay at Palacio del Inka Cusco was good, although it was more of a commercial hotel, which isn't typically our style. It wasn't as personal or intimate as the other hotels we stayed at, but it was still a high-quality experience. The service was great and there were no complaints, but we simply prefer smaller, more boutique-style hotels. In hindsight, we would have preferred to return to the first hotel in Cusco, as it was more suited to our tastes.

Discovering the Treasures of Machu Picchu
Discovering the Treasures of Machu Picchu
Aguas Calientes/ Machu Picchu

Visiting Machu Picchu was an absolute highlight of our trip. The experience was simply breathtaking. We had a private guide who was incredibly knowledgeable about the history and significance of the site, which really enriched our visit. My husband and son did the hike to Machu Picchu via Chachabamba and Wiñay Wayna the day before and it was a perfect lead-up to discovering the treasures of this iconic place. The whole experience was well-organized and we felt very well taken care of.
