Coastal Region Cottages

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.

Wyndham Grand Costa Del Sol Lima Airport

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing service from the moment we walked through the door. Check in was easy and they upgraded our room. The room was clean and beautiful with tons of amenities. The breakfast offered a huge selection of entrees. The location was perfect as we needed to catch an early morning flight to Cusco. The plaza outside was clean pleasant and offered many spots to take pictures. Our stay was wonderful!"
