At the top of a misty Andean peak stands a 15-century city hemmed in forest-clad mountains. Peru may be known for the iconic Machu Picchu, but that’s only scratching the surface. The country is a rich bastion of ancient Incan culture, rugged hiking terrain, stellar scenery, Michelin-starred restaurants and humbling connection to the spiritual world. Peru is a shining South American beacon of joy, adventure and culture.
Our Peru means biking through hip Lima neighborhoods, tasting modern Peruvian cuisine at some of Lima's most acclaimed kitchens, hiking the Inca Trail, and witnessing an unforgettable sunrise over Machu Picchu. Our Peru connects you with indigenous communities and age-old traditions, with all the modern trappings of a stylish coastal capital.
For the lover of urban bustle and outdoor adventures. Lima is home to some of the highest-rated restaurants in the world, as well as astounding traditional Andean culture. This is the culinary adventure of a lifetime.
Peru’s dry season (May thru Oct) is the ideal time, especially for outdoorsy trekkers. Look out for sunny days and bright blue backdrops to historic sites.
Our Peru highlights some of the best city features and their rugged counterparts, all adaptable to suit your interests: more Michelin-star cuisines, more hiking, more cultural connection.
Our accommodations reflect the beauty and grace of Peru, setting the tone for inspired exploration from mountain to jungle to sea.
A meticulously preserved, 1920s mansion retreat on a quiet Lima street. Order up a round of pisco sours at sunset, then take in the views of the beautiful bohemian sprawl that is Lima’s Barranco neighborhood.
A home in a true Inca village: Ollantaytambo’s narrow cobbled streets are just outside your door, set in the shadow of Andean peaks of the Sacred Valley. After a day exploring nearby ruins, you can sit back in lushly landscaped gardens or enjoy reading by the fireplace with a hot tea.
Step into a different world just a stone’s throw from Machu Picchu. This hacienda-style hotel is set in lush rainforest vegetation, with brightly colored birds hovering over pools and through the winding nature trails you can explore. After a hard day’s walk, the spa and eucalyptus-infused steam hut will restore all your powers.
It's a joy to set up at this one-time colonial-era Cusco market turned boutique B&B. Overlook the central terrace, filled with artesanías (handicrafts) and comfy lounges around pit fires.
I formed bonds in unexpected ways with so many different people.
