Stay deep in the Sacred Valley at Sol y Luna, Peru

Romantically remote and the perfect location for exploring Peru’s Sacred Valley, Sol y Luna in Urubamba is among our favourite Peruvian hideaways. Leading in the fight for sustainability, hotel owners Petit and Franz have long-run environment and community initiatives at Sol y Luna, and in 2009 opened their very own on-site school to give back to the local community. Financed by the hotel’s profits, Sol y Luna Intercultural School currently provides education to 185 children of the Sacred Valley including their own children Thomas and Melanie. Before you leave, we’ll arrange a visit here so you can see first hand how these amazing initiatives are changing young lives.

Stay here: And paraglide over the Sacred Valley on our 16-night adventure through Brazil and Peru.

Belmond Miraflores Park in Lima

Balmy balconies for gazing at Pacific views, grand marble bathrooms for pampering and plush bedding for slumping; in true Belmond style, Miraflores Park in Lima welcomes you in warmly. Once settled, meet your Peruvian foodie guide for a gourmet tour of Lima to sample some of Peru’s traditional dishes. Don’t worry, we’ll make sure you’re lead to the best Ceviche spot in town to try the national fish dish. Feeling brave? Grab a board and surf the wild waves.

Titilaka Hotel in Peru — Titilaka Lodge, Peru

Titilaka Lodge on the shores of Lake Titicaca

Straddling the shores of the world’s highest lake, Titilaka Lodge on Lake Titicaca is the perfect introduction to this stunning region. With windows larger than life, opt for the dawn room to rise early and catch the sun crawl over the lake; and as night closes in, gaze at the star lit-sky from the comfort of your bed.

Framed by three volcanoes and tucked away on a quiet street—but still within the bustle—Casa Andina acts as the perfect pairing. A colonial 1794 mansion-turned-hotel, Casa Andina is everything we want in a luxury hotel in Arequipa; classic, authentic and colonial. Need we say much more?
