Accommodation

• In Peru the standards that are used when judging hotels are somewhat different than what you might be familiar with. Here are some useful details about categories of lodging establishments: • 3 *** Hotels (local standards). A three-star hotel should have comfortable, simple, and clean rooms that have a private bathroom with hot water. Some hotels offer a safety deposit box, a heater in the room, and a mini-bar. • We do our best to choose a hotel which is located in a place that offers easy access to the town and its attractions.
