[edit] Hotels and lodging
Hotels in Peru are as varied as the country's landscapes and people. Luxury five-star hotels are available in Lima, and luxurious botique and historical hotels, monasteries and haciends are a rewarding way to visit Cusco and the Machu Picchu area.
Eco lodges in the Peruvian Amazon provide a comfortable, up-close look into the wildlife of the world's largest rainforest.
Small family-run hotels in Peru are perhaps the most intimate way to get to know the country, that is, exept for an adventurous home stay where you'll come to understand the culture of Peru first hand with a Peruvian family.
