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.

Top Coastal Region Hotel Reviews

Radisson Hotel Decapolis Miraflores

10/10 Excellent

"I was a solo female traveler and felt completely safe and comfortable. The Hotel actually delivered a birthday cake to my room on my birthday which was so sweet. The housekeeper for room 705 for the week on 1/10-1/17 was amazing and deserves a raise! All the staff were helpful and I would 1000% recommend this hotel!!!"

INNSiDE by Meliá Lima Miraflores

10/10 Excellent

"Modern, clean, centrally located and excellent service. Buffet breakfast is excellent, rooftop bars, allows one to relax and enjoy a great view of the city. I have become a loyalty rewards member and will return to this location and will look for other Melia hotel experiences in my travel. "

Holiday Inn Lima Miraflores by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"The room was comfortable, and everything was clean. The pillows were great to sleep on. The staff was friendly and very accommodating. Our family was happy, and we had a very nice experience altogether. I just got back from my trip, and I highly recommend The Holiday Inn Miraflores to all my friends visiting Lima on their next vacation. "
