Peru

Peru is a land of ancient mystery, breathtaking landscapes, and rich cultural heritage, offering travellers an unforgettable blend of history, adventure, and subtle luxury.

The legendary Machu Picchu, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the New Seven Wonders of the World, stands as the country’s crown jewel, and is reached by the scenic and luxurious Belmond Hiram Bingham train through the Sacred Valley.

In Cusco and the Sacred Valley, Incan ruins meet colonial charm, boutique hotels, and world-class dining that celebrates Peru’s acclaimed gastronomy. The capital, Lima, is a culinary powerhouse, home to several of the world’s top restaurants and a dynamic coastal lifestyle.

For nature and exploration, the Amazon Basin offers luxury river cruises and eco-lodges amid pristine rainforest, while the vast Colca Canyon and high-altitude Lake Titicaca reveal Peru’s dramatic beauty and cultural depth.

Whether exploring ancient citadels, savouring gourmet Peruvian cuisine, or retreating to mountain lodges with sweeping Andean views, Peru captivates the senses with a rare combination of adventure, sophistication, and spirit.
