Amazing cruise. Enjoyed the wild nature, I saw pink river dolphins, sloths (including a mother and baby!), caimans, anacondas, monkeys, and countless beautiful birds. We also had fun activities, like fishing, swimming in the amazon river, canoeing, visiting to the local village and fun breakfast / drinks on the skiff! But what made this trip truly special was the people. There were also many moments when the crew went above and beyond in small ways — helping with special food requests, accommodating unexpected situations, and simply remembering little things. I also appreciated how flexible and human the service felt. The entire crew member genuinely wanted guests to have a good experience. They even celebrated mid-autumn festival for me & other fellow asian passengers by making mooncake for us! They truly researched the recipe!! The Amazon gave me extraordinary wildlife and scenery, but this cruise gave me days full of human connection, kindness, laughter, and little acts of generosity. Thank you to the entire team for making this journey so memorable. Special shout out to my amazing guides: Juan, Roland, Neycer, Raul who made my experience in the wild so incredible and to Ivana & Shadia - the amazing manager ladies on the board

We did the 7 days Lares Trek and our guide was Raul. This trip was amazing from booking, start to finish. The lodges and partner accommodations were super nice. Our favorite lodge was Huacahausi...charming village, beautiful hiking and ending the day with a soak in our private hot tub with an unbelievable view of stars was unforgettable. We loved the flexibility of being able to pick between cultural activities and active activities the night before depending on how we were feeling. Our guide added so much depth to our experience and understanding of Peruvian history and culture! My favorite experience was hiking through a village and handing out bread to the local kids and saying hello. A child's smile will brighten your day no matter what. We learned so much and loved the scenery and visiting so many archeological sites! Every meal was amazing. We are so spoiled I don't know how we are going to go back to eating our regular food ;-)
We booked the 7 days sacred valley tour. The trekking and culture experiences were great. The lodging in general was great. Only on the fifth night, our lodging hotel was in the Peru rail station, it was very load and the air quality was bad in the lodging.
We enjoyed our trip sooo much! The lodges were amazing, beautifully located, nicely decorated and great to relax after some hiking. The food was delicious and had some good variety to it. The trek itself was full of amazing views (we were also lucky with the weather). And there were so many nice details (e.g. warm towels at every lodge when we arrived, hot bottles in our bed before going to sleep) that really made the whole trip more convenient. The extra activities were really cool, we especially loved the whole Patchamama ritual with Santos - it gave the trip a mystical background right at the start. But what made the whole adventure truly amazing were our guides Eddi and Washington! They were so caring, funny, knowledgeable, friendly, kind and made always sure we have everything we needed. They were the heart of our experience and we couldn’t imagine the trip without them!
We were two families (teens 17, 14, 14; child 9) who went on the 7-day Salkantay Trek. Our guides were Javier and Daniel, both of whom were informative, supportive, and professional. We were especially blessed to have the guidance of Javier, most experienced guide. I cannot recommend this experience enough. The pacing was flexible. The trek was gorgeous and varied. The accommodations were clean, intimate, and comfortable. The food was nutritious and abundant. The 'after hiking' offerings included a coffee plantation visit, lesson on how to make Pisco Sour, a traditional blessing from an indigenous elder, a pachamanca feast, picking granadillas off the vine, and outdoor hot tubs. I was particularly delighted to have Mirabelle, a local woman porter, support part of our journey. The company employs several women as part of the operation. Well done!
We did the Salkantay trek to Machu Picchu. The lodges were fantastic. Great accommodation, staff and food. Juri our guide was always thoughtful and tailored what we needed to do to our wishes. The whole experience could not be faulted and is highly recommended
Our trip was beyond all expectations. The crew was remarkable: helpful, knowledgeable, fun to be with, they became a part of our family and we loved all of them. I’ve traveled a lot and this was tops.
Just got back from the 7 sacred valley and lares trip with Ana Amazon add-on. I can speak more highly of our experience. Our guide, Antonio was great! The small group size allowed us some flexibility of activities. All activities were well planned and run. We really enjoyed the blend of cultural/history and hiking this trip had. The food and accommodations were all terrific! All our expectations were met or even exceeded!
An absolutely fantastic experience!We are five Italian young travelers and we had an unforgettable experience. The scenery was breathtaking, the organization was flawless, and the food was excellent. Every member of the staff was professional, courteous, and incredibly attentive.Our guide, Erick, was patient, friendly, and always available to help. He shared so many fascinating stories and interesting facts with us throughout the journey, making the experience even more special.We truly enjoyed a five-star level of service at 5,000 meters above sea level. The lodges were incredibly comfortable, with soft bed linens, warm blankets, and all the comforts we needed.The attention to guests was exceptional from beginning to end. We felt truly cared for at every moment.A huge thank you to Erick and the entire team for making this adventure so memorable. We highly recommend this experience to anyone looking for a unique and unforgettable journey!
Great lodge’s accommodations, great delicious meals and an excellent guide for our Salkantay Trek. Highly recommended!
Luxury Machu Picchu tours: culture, adventure, and comfort through the Peruvian Andes
Machu Picchu, the 15th-century Inca citadel above the Urubamba River in Peru, has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1983. While standard travel itineraries rely on single-day train excursions from Cusco, an elevated luxury tour invites you to take a more immersive, leisurely approach. Over 7 to 10 days, you will traverse the Andes, unwind in boutique mountain lodges each evening, and culminate your journey with a fully guided exploration of the iconic ruins.
High in the Andes, up to 3,906 m, luxury means uncompromising comfort: heated showers, goose-down bedding, scenic hot tubs, and neo-Andean dining with complimentary wine and beer. Every luxury Machu Picchu tour includes full board, expert bilingual guiding, train transport, entry permits, and shuttle transfers.
Each route offers a distinct level of activity. For a culture-focused itinerary, the 7-day Sacred Valley and Lares journey combines optional walks with daily activities like cooking classes, village visits, and local markets. If you prefer a mountain challenge, the 7-day luxury Salkantay trek takes you across the high 4,636 m Salkantay Pass. To experience both, choose the 10-day Andes trek, our most comprehensive lodge-to-lodge trek in Peru.
Regular departures set out from Cusco multiple times weekly between March and December. Traveling during the dry season (April to October) offers pleasant daytime temperatures ranging from 17°C to 20°C. To ensure an intimate experience, group sizes are capped at 12 to 16 guests. We recommend arriving in Cusco (elevation ~3,400 m) at least two days prior to your trip to allow adequate time for altitude acclimatization.
