Peru
Peru feels ancient from the moment you arrive. High in the mountains, the stone citadel of Machu Picchu rises through the clouds, drawing trekkers along historic Inca trails and winding paths through the Sacred Valley. Elsewhere, the mysterious Nazca Lines stretch across desert plains, while the capital, Lima, has become one of South America’s top food destinations, known for fresh ceviche and innovative cuisine. Adventure seekers head to the dunes around Huacachina for sandboarding and buggy rides, or climb into the high Andes to see the colourful slopes of Rainbow Mountain.

Unmissable Moments
Stay in a Cliffside Capsule Hotel, Sacred Valley Peru
A Glass pod clings to a sheer rock face – this hotel stay comes complete with a via ferratta, ziplining and a starlight dinner 400m above Urubamba River.
Q'ochas: Sacred Andean Lakes
In the Andes, small natural lakes known as q'ochas hold spiritual significance in traditional Andean belief systems. These mirror-like waters are sometimes used in rituals honouring Pachamama, where offerings such as coca leaves are placed in the water as a sign of gratitude and respect for nature.
