What could be better than to watch the magnificent landscapes of the Andes scroll by from the comfort of your luxurious train carriage? The Belmond Hiram Bingham is the Andes’ answer to the Orient Express - 1920’s style with a dash of chic Peruvian design. This is the way to approach Machu Picchu, chugging along in the footsteps of Hiram Bingham, the explorer who rediscovered the mountain citadel in 1911. Why not watch the Amazon unfold on a luxurious river cruise, or discover the wildlife of the cloud forest with your own dedicated guide. Then, find yourself in the heart of fascinating Lima, in a colonial mansion, beautifully revived by contemporary design. And from there, settle down in Arequipa, in a stunning house-museum dating from the sixteenth century, complete with its original frescoes and colonnaded courtyards. Peru luxury holidays are truly enchanting.

"I was initially helped by Patrick and later by Henrietta, who were both very good. We had lovely rooms in the Amazon Lodge and Inkaterra La Casona, but our favourite hotels were Titilaka, the charming Villa Barranco and the excellent airport hotel in Lima. The trip was very well-organised and planned: Henrietta did a great job and all the guides were excellent."

With vestiges of its intricate history woven through every part of the country, Peru luxury holidays promise a wealth of cultural discovery. Machu Picchu is undoubtedly the most well-known symbol of the nation’s ancient heritage, and while the Inca citadel is certainly worth visiting, it represents only a fraction of Peru’s storied past. The sites of Pisac, Ollantaytambo and Chinchero are exceptional examples of Incan architecture, and the Sacred Valley as a whole is an enchanting corner of the Andes, punctuated with small colonial towns and traditional artisan communities. If it’s nature you’re after, explore the Amazon rainforest from the comfort of a luxury river cruise, accompanied by an expert guide who will introduce to the region’s eclectic flora and fauna, including scarlet macaws and red howler monkeys.

Our local in-country Concierges can offer an insight into a hidden side of the cities during your Peru luxury holidays. Dine on the freshest ceviche, the country’s most iconic dish, at an intimate restaurant in Lima, or indulge in grilled anticuchos (beef skewers) from a streetside market in Cusco (once the capital of the Incan Empire). Arequipa, Peru’s second city, is another culinary hotspot, with its picantería (traditional Arequipan) eateries. Bordered by three volcanoes, the resplendent city’s baroque-style buildings and white-stone cathedral are also worth seeing.
