Check in voor een verblijf van twee nachten in je stijlvolle, moderne hotel aan het strand.

Ga op een fascinerende verkenningstocht door Lima, een stad waar geschiedenis en moderniteit naadloos in elkaar overgaan. Van de zorgvuldig gerestaureerde koloniale architectuur tot de verborgen juweeltjes die verscholen liggen in de bruisende straten, je deskundige lokale gids onthult het rijke tapijt van cultuur en erfgoed van de stad. Achter de barokke balkons schuilen geheime schatten, van de eeuwenoude bibliotheek tot de lappendeken van botten in het ossuarium van het grote Franciscaner klooster.

Verken de raadselachtige ruïnes met deskundige gidsen en duik in de mysteries van deze oude site.

Als de avond valt, trek je je terug in je charmante hotel in Machu Picchu.

Je wordt verwelkomd in het luxe hotel. In een 500 jaar oud herenhuis zul je twee nachten doorbrengen in het hart van deze legendarische stad, omringd door weelde en geschiedenis.

Dit boetiekschip zal de komende vier nachten je drijvende heiligdom zijn. Strijk neer in je ruime suite, met ramen van vloer tot plafond die uitkijken over de kalme rivier en bereid je voor om je onder te dompelen in de natuurlijke wonderen van de Amazone.

Ga op een reeks intieme excursies die je diep in het hart van het Amazone regenwoud brengen. Je verkent afgelegen zijrivieren van de Amazonerivier, trekt over junglepaden die krioelen van het leven, bezoekt inheemse gemeenschappen die al eeuwenlang leven zoals ze leven en ziet exotische wilde dieren die zich verstoppen tussen het weelderige groen. Of je nu over de waterwegen vaart of je in de weelderige wildernis waagt met deskundige natuurgidsen, elk moment belooft een nieuwe bijzondere ervaring.

Ga door met het verkennen van de Amazone en ontdek de verborgen schatten en ongetemde schoonheid. Glijd geruisloos langs smalle zijrivieren, onder leiding van experts die fascinerende rivierverhalen vertellen. Verken ongerepte habitats, van mangrovemoerassen tot bamboestruiken, en ontdek de delicate balans van de natuur. Elke dag biedt nieuwe ontdekkingen en momenten van verwondering in deze buitengewone wildernis.

Ontwaak met de symfonie van het regenwoud. Laat je onderdompelen in de natuurlijke ritmes van het regenwoud, volg wilde dieren of geniet gewoon van de sereniteit. De activiteiten variëren per dag, dus je kunt kajakken of stand-up paddleboarden op de glasheldere rivier, vissen op gigantische Amazone meervallen, luisteren naar de roep van meer dan 1500 vogelsoorten en het water afspeuren naar de ongrijpbare roze dolfijn. Als de avond valt, trek je je terug in je drijvende heiligdom, gewiegd door de zachte omhelzing van de rivier. Denk na over de schoonheid van de dag als de zon onder de horizon zakt.
