| 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. |
