This fourteen-day journey pairs Peru’s Andean highlights with a private Galápagos cruise, structured as a single continuous trip rather than two separate journeys joined by a connecting flight.
Lima opens the trip with two nights at Belmond Miraflores Park, followed by two nights at Inkaterra Hacienda Urubamba in the Sacred Valley among Moray’s terraces and Pisac’s market town.
Rail travel to Aguas Calientes and an overnight at Belmond Sanctuary Lodge lead into a private early entry to Machu Picchu, before a final night in Cusco at Belmond Hotel Monasterio closes the Andean leg of the trip.
From there, the journey connects through Lima and Guayaquil to the Galápagos archipelago, where six days aboard a small expedition vessel bring guests face-to-face with giant tortoises, marine iguanas, blue-footed boobies, and sea lions, the wildlife that makes the islands unlike anywhere else on the itinerary.
Arrival at Belmond Miraflores Park, with the first day held free before a private city tour and an afternoon spent in Barranco.
Two nights at Inkaterra Hacienda Urubamba anchor time spent among Moray’s terraced circles, the salt pans at Maras, and Pisac’s Sunday market.
Rail travel to Aguas Calientes and an overnight at Belmond Sanctuary Lodge lead into a private early entry to the citadel, ahead of the first buses from town.
A specialist guide leads the way, timing the walk to whichever section of the ruins the light reaches first. By mid-morning, with the citadel already filling up, the afternoon train returns everyone to Cusco, the Andes still ahead of the journey’s turn toward the Pacific.
A final night in Cusco, at Belmond Hotel Monasterio, allows one more walk through the city’s stone-walled streets before the journey turns entirely.
The flight north connects through Lima and Guayaquil to Baltra, and by the time a private boat delivers the group to a waiting expedition vessel, the Andes have given way to the equatorial Pacific.
Six days aboard a small expedition ship move at the pace the islands themselves set, a different landing each morning with a certified naturalist leading the way among giant tortoises unbothered by an audience, marine iguanas draped across volcanic rock, and blue-footed boobies going through courtship rituals that look almost choreographed. Sea lions treat the shallows as their own, often surfacing closer than expected.
A last walk on deck on the final morning closes a trip that began in the thin air of the Andes and ends among some of the most unguarded wildlife on earth.
A table arranged at one of Lima's most recognized kitchens, with a tasting menu that moves from the coast to the high Andes to the Amazon.
A private stay at a working hacienda, with the Sacred Valley's terracing visible from the property itself.
A private early entry to Machu Picchu puts the citadel's first hour of daylight to yourselves, before the buses from town arrive.

A decade ago, Lima was a single overnight before the flight to Cusco. Now, a two-day trip can be filled with clifftop parks, spectacular culture, and some of the best cooking in the Americas.

Peru rarely makes the traditional honeymoon shortlist next to the beach destinations that usually fill it, but for couples who want the trip to mean something beyond the resort, few places offer as much. Machu Picchu, Cusco’s layered Inca and colonial architecture, the Sacred Valley’s living textile traditions, and a private stretch of Amazon rainforest […]

Peru and Mexico each hold one of the most recognized ancient sites on earth, Machu Picchu and Chichen Itza, and each pairs that landmark with a country’s worth of food, landscape, and history built around it. Neither trip disappoints, but the two experiences pull in genuinely different directions, and the choice usually comes down to […]
