GOOD TO KNOW
-
Don’t miss Machu Pichu. However, the accommodations on the site are very touristic. We would recommend it for a day trip.
-
Do not hesitate to spend one or two more nights in the amazing hotel Titilaka, member of the famous group “Relais Chateaux” .
-
Our stay in the jungle was a little bit disappointing. The lake is close to a city and therefore we didn’t see Jaguar and Pumas. Don’t expect a safari tour with a lot of wild animals.
-
The train journey is a great way to discover the country and its variety. However, it is each time a long journey. Bring family games.
-
Just stay in Lima for your flight stopover or get good advice from locals.
