For many travellers, Peru begins with Machu Picchu. The true beauty of the country lies in everything that surrounds it.

Begin in Lima, where contemporary gastronomy, colonial architecture and Pacific Ocean views offer a sophisticated introduction to South America. Continue to Cusco, once the capital of the Inca Empire, where ancient stone walls, hidden courtyards and centuries of history reveal themselves at every turn.

Spend several days exploring the Sacred Valley, discovering traditional communities, archaeological sites and spectacular mountain landscapes before boarding the train to Machu Picchu. As the citadel emerges through the mist, it becomes clear why it remains one of the world’s most extraordinary places.

A seamless introduction to Peru’s cultural and historical treasures.
