Hotels
Talking about such an important aspect on a tour, we would like to emphasize that the hotels and lodges we reserve on each tour, have been carefully selected. We base our selection on the following points:
...and also on the singular features that each hotel or lodge can offer to its guests.
In fact, most of our customers are happily surprised when they see the quality
of the hotels which they didn't expect before arriving to Peru.
Here are some sights that might help you to make a better idea of the kind of hotels we use...........

Food & Meals
As most meals are not included in our programs, you will be free to choose from the many alternatives available at most of the selected restaurants on our tours. Breakfasts will be included on some hotels. Box lunches at the desert are included as well as our welcome and farewell dinners.
Peru’s traditional cuisine is perhaps one of the tastier and varied of the world! You will find a selection of many traditional dishes consisting on different kinds of meat, vegetables, fruits and grains
Here are some examples:
CEVICHE
(Marinated Fish)
Regarding fish and seafood, “Ceviche” is our most traditional dish consisting of fresh fish and/or seafood marinated with lime and served with red onions, corn and sweet potato. The Peruvian lime is so strong and acid that it cooks the fish in just 30 minutes or less!
ANTICUCHOS
(Beef Heart)
One of our most traditional beef based dishes are “Anticucho” and
“Seco de Carne”.
“Anticucho” consists of marinated pieces of beef heart, cooked in a barbecue and
served in spades with potatoes.
LOMO SALTADO
(Sauteed Beef Tenderloin)
Perhaps the origin of this dish comes from the Chinese culture. In the 19th century many Chinese imigrants were brought to Peru to work in the cotton and sugar farmlands. They brought along their culinary culture which merged with the Peruvian or "Criollo" cuisine.One example is this tasty dish based on beef tenderloin, patatoes, tomatoes and onions served along with rice.
"CUY"
(Guinea Pig)
And our most famous dish (for those that have heard about it you can already imagine what we're talking about), it is the guinea pig or "CUY". No, Peruvians don't have them as pets...
PISCO SOUR
Our most representative and genuine drink is the “Pisco Sour”. Made with our strong and tasty Pisco (some what like Mexican Tequila), lime juice, sugar, egg white, ice and a bit of cinnamon. Once you try it, you won’t forget it!
