Peru and Bolivia accommodation

We go out of our way to find small-scale, authentic Peru accommodation that really reflects the local surroundings. This could be a traditional posada, a small hotel or a local guesthouse personally run by the owners. It could also be a colonial villa, a converted monastery, a finca (farm) or an Amazon jungle lodge. On Lake Titicaca, you can stay in a clay hut on an island in the middle of the lake, an eco lodge in the Sacred Valley, or a basic tent high in the Andes during your Inca Trail trek.

We use a category system of 1 to 5 to rate our Peru accommodation. In general, you'll stay in Level 3 accommodation - comfortable, clean and full of local character. Level 3 accommodation is also well-located without being over-luxurious, and always has en-suite facilities. If you would like to stay in a different category of accommodation, please let us know.

It should also be mentioned that our category ratings are not official star ratings.
