Although this once tranquil fishing hamlet is now a popular destination on Peru's 'Gringo Trail', it has clung proudly to its fishing roots. These narrow boats, made from the same reeds used by the Uros in the Lake Titicaca region, are still in use today.

They're known as 'Caballitos de Tortora', meaning "little horses" because of the way they are 'ridden' by the fishermen who use them.

If you wake up early enough (and I mean early; these fishermen are already casting their bait before the sun rises) you can witness an age old tradition in practice.

Wynwood Casa Junin in Barranco

Barranco

"The property was in a great location and we felt like locals during our stay. Our questions were answered and resolved quickly. Each room had a private bathroom and that was very convenient. Overall, the apartment had lots of great space and light, but we did note that the property was dustier than we expected. Information for the wifi was not prominently posted in the apartment for easier access. The front gate was a bit tricky, so instructions or a video for opening the gate could also have...

Amazing Views of Misti in Yanahuara

Yanahuara

"We really loved this property! It's location was great - really close to the Yanahuara Plaza which is a nice central location. And the property itself is beautiful as you can see in the photos. The patio is so nice and has a great view of the volcano Misti. The place was clean and well stocked with items you might need to make meals, although there are so many good restaraunts, we didn't make use of that option."

"Room, staff , breakfast- all were great"

ibis Budget Lima Miraflores

10/10 Excellent

"Modern, clean, comfortable hotel. Good location - walkable to local attractions and restaurants. Shower and sink are in the bedroom rather than a separate bathroom which I don’t personally like but didn’t ruin the stay. If you are planning to check in around 3pm be prepared to wait as it seems a lot of tour groups check in then. "
