| HOTELS |
The hotels
that we include in our tours are nice, comfortable and
friendly. Some are hotels, some hostels; but in Peru
the difference between them is that a hotel has a 24-hours
food service, and a hostel doesn't. In all these places
the rooms have a private bathroom with hot water (24
hours) and breakfast is always included.
For INDIANA EXPEDITION
it is important to support entrepreneurship and the
local economy, that's why we prefer small, charming
and friendly hotels run by local people than big hotel
chains.
Here you'll find a short description
of the hotels that we include in our tours. |
