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.

Hotel Estelar Miraflores

10/10 Excellent

"The location of the hotel is very convenient, lots of dining options near by and a short walk away from the malecon and Larcomar. Our rooms was spacious and confortable. We also enjoyed the breakfast and the view from the restaurant. "

Radisson Hotel Decapolis Miraflores

10/10 Excellent

"We got upgraded, thanks to Expedia VIP Access. Suites were clean and charming with very comfortable beds and amenities. Breakfast and dinner at the hotel’s restaurant were great! Welcome pastries and free drinks coupons were an excellent bonus. Hotel is located close to Malecon and Larcomar mall. We truly enjoyed our 2 nights stay at this property. "

10/10 Excellent

"The room we stayed at was wonderful, all the staff were accommodating and considerate and SOO kind. Our group didn’t speak much Spanish but they went above and beyond to make us comfortable and help us when we needed. Breakfasts were wonderful (loved the oriental rice) and one of the security men helped us with our wheelchair without fail every time we came and left (which was a lot). Highly recommend. Also wonderful atmosphere and the kitchen space was super useful. will definitely go back on our next visit :)"
