Fodor's Expert Review Hotel Majoro

Set amid 60 acres of fragrant gardens and surrounded by cotton fields, this quiet, 80-year-old hacienda and former Augustine convent, situated 1½ km (1 mile) from the airport, offers a taste of life on a farm. Alpacas and vicuñas wander the grounds, and though rooms are simple, they are charming, with nice Nazca-themed decorative touches and courtyards adorned with colorful blossoms. The excellent restaurant serves local specialties, and the English-speaking staff can organize horseback rides, mountain-bike trips, or four-wheel-drive excursions.
