Peru has long captivated travelers with its rich culture, awe-inspiring landscapes, and boundless sense of adventure. Now, with Belmond as your guide, the country reveals itself through a curated collection of iconic properties and exclusive train journeys. Experience the elegance of Miraflores Park in Lima, the majestic heights of Machu Picchu, the luxurious Andean Explorer train, and tranquil Las Casitas in the Colca Canyon, as this book seamlessly blends Peru’s vibrant traditions with Belmond’s signature style and hospitality. With text by journalist Catherine Contreras, your trusted travel companion, Peru: An Odyssey across a Time-Honored Land invites you on an unforgettable journey that will ignite your wanderlust and inspire you long after the journey ends.
Part of Assouline’s new series with Belmond, the book reshapes the traveler’s mindset, and the reader becomes something beyond a tourist, someone who seeks, explores, learns, and connects. The transformation may occur over a meal at Mauka—a celebration of Cusco on a plate. Or during the cacao scrub, which employs the rare Chuncho variety, at Rio Sagrado. Perhaps it is the moment overlooking Machu Picchu at sunrise when words escape and time stands still. When the journey comes to an end, the transformation is complete, and the visitor returns home forever changed, with a broader perspective, a deeper understanding, and a revived outlook on the world. Making stops at six hotels and traveling via two trains, the perfect Peruvian itinerary awaits.
