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.

«Overall it was great and I would stay again. Short, easy, and safe walk to the pool and waterfront. Communication could have been better. There were several different phone numbers for communicating and it got confusing. Check in instructions could have been greatly improved by adding that the appartment would be unlocked and keys inside. The person at the condo gate was not helpful and the hotel (for access bracelets) didn't have the information. Clean»

INNSiDE by Meliá Lima Miraflores

6/10 Greit

"We had an arrangement for late check out but SAS-fly it was no internal info about that, so we where pushed to check out earlyer. The rom was ok for people who doesnt have claustrofobia… (small window into a wall. Breakfast was gods. The hotel had an arrangement for wealthy ladies with dogs….approx ten of them… the noice was extreme. How about to meet a german with all ass out at Breakfast, and 30 min later same man with a smal local youngster in the elevator… keep out"
