Distinctive Accommodations
9 days/8 nightsNights 1 & 2: Country Club Lima Hotel
Located in the most distinguished residential district of Lima, this luxury hotel is known for its traditional elegance and fine cuisine. Guest rooms feature marble bathrooms and classical and Peruvian colonial artwork from the Osma Museum.
Nights 3 & 8: Hotel Monasterio
This five-star museum hotel was once a 16th century monastery built on the foundations of an Incan palace. At an elevation of 11,024 feet, you’ll appreciate the spacious, oxygen-enriched rooms.
Nights 4 to 6: Hotel Rio Sagrado
The elegant Rio Sagrado was built to resemble a small Andean village. Nestled on the banks of the Urubamba River, surrounded by towering mountains and ancient remains, it is the ultimate tranquil rural retreat.
Night 7: Machu Picchu Pueblo Hotel
Machu Picchu Pueblo Hotel's private 12-acre cloud forest inside the Machu Picchu Sanctuary offers a scattering of cottages, streams, gushing waterfalls, gardens and wild forest interspersed by stone pathways.
A few more reasons why you've gotta go…
1. The mystery: everywhere you go, there's a sense that the Inca culture still permeates every hilltop, village and valley.
2. The Sun Gate: nothing prepares you for the feeling of awe as you step through Intipunku and gaze upon the ruins of Machu Picchu for the very first time.
3. The breakfast at the Hotel Monasterio: when have you ever dined to the distant soundtrack of chanting monks?
4. The local Indian market in Pisac: it offers the region's most impressive display of handmade textiles and crafts.
