From The Team
Joanna Hussey
Head of Latin America Journeys
"Peru is superb for adventures with your family. In Cusco, immerse yourselves in your authentic surroundings, take time to acclimatise, slow the pace down and try the local remedies. The Sacred Valley is an excellent location to enjoy a range of fun activities; I highly recommend a mountain biking tour to take you off the beaten track and experience authentic Peru."

Places to Stay
Belmond Miraflores Park
Belmond Miraflores Park is a sanctuary in the capital, set in the midst of Lima’s trendiest area. Use it as your base for exploring the nearby museums, colonial buildings, and park, then retreat here to relax in sublime surroundings with sparkling views of the Pacific Ocean.
Sol y Luna
In the Sacred Valley, with the Andes Mountains dominating the skyline, the beautiful gardens of Sol y Luna exquisitely complement the hotel’s stone casitas (“little houses”). It’s a truly magical location; the backdrop is enhanced by the orientation of the terraces and the careful planting of indigenous flowers.
Sumaq Machu Picchu
At the steps of its namesake site, the five-star Sumaq Machu Picchu is ideally positioned for you to explore the wonders of the remarkable Inca citadel at your leisure.
JW Marriot
With one of Cusco’s only swimming pools, and with an elegant and sophisticated style that is almost more museum or art gallery than hotel, the JW Marriot is one of the most desirable places to rest and reside in the capital city of the Inca Empire.
Aqua Nera
Since its maiden voyage in 2020, Aqua Nera has been setting the standard for river boat exploration in the Amazon region. With a maximum of 40 guests, looked after by 40 staff, you can expect an unforgettable experience that is both adventurous and relaxing in equal measure.

Community
In Latin America, we support Awamaki, a Peruvian-based charity who connects Andean artisan weavers with global markets. With every journey we arrange to Latin America we make a donation to Awamaki. For clients travelling to the Sacred Valley in Peru, we offer the opportunity to learn about the country’s rich textile heritage with one of Awamaki’s artisan leaders - a unique experience with a positive impact.

In addition to fundraising, a minimum of 5% of our annual net profits are donated to charitable initiatives. We support four amazing charities who aid communities and wildlife conservation in our key destinations.
Property Partners
Partnering with people who share our values is vital to achieving our positive impact goals. We prioritise working with properties that collaborate with local communities and address location-specific needs from education to anti-poaching.
