Lima

Being the capital and largest city in the country, Lima is a necessary stop for all Peru travels. Among the modern developments are many Spanish Colonial buildings to explore.

It's a cosmopolitan city with some beautiful museums, parks and and gourmet restaurants. Lima is one of the culinary capitals of the world, with restaurants serving innovative (and tasty) interpretations of traditional Peruvian food.

Jacada can help you find (and book) the best for your Lima stay during your luxury tour of Peru. The city has Pacific Ocean views and a subtropical climate that make it a good spot for visitors to rest up and before venturing to higher altitudes.

Northern Peru Amazon Cruises

Peru's Northern Amazon is a huge area, reached by flying into the 'forest-locked' city of Iquitos which has no road connections to the rest of Peru.

Travelling here allows one access to one of the most pristine areas of the Amazon, the Pacayra Samira reserve of flooded forest. An area of outstanding beauty that is best visited by boat.

That's why we've selected a number of luxury, expedition cruises to allow you to explore deep into the jungle, whilst remaining in comfort. What makes a trip into the Amazon exceptional however, is the guides, who we feel are exceptional on these cruises. It's through their intimate knowledge of the rainforest that you will come to appreciate and enjoy this vast wilderness.

Sacred Valley

North West of Cusco, the Sacred Valley is one of the most beautiful and historically important parts of Peru. The Valley was one of the bases of Inca civilisation, the river that winds its way through believed to be aligned with the Cosmos.

The beautiful scenery and relaxing setting make this a great place to stop and relax for a few days. Several of the Inca's finest works were built in this region making it a fantastic place to visit and take in the ancient culture of Peru. The valley is also home to many indigenous people living in the same traditions as they have been for centuries and it's possible to visit local markets and communities as well as the many magnificent Inca Ruins built along the length of the valley.

The Hiram Bingham and the Vistadome luxury trains depart from Cusco and stop in the Sacred Valley on their way to Machu Picchu. Speak to your Travel Designer about incorporating the Sacred Valley into your luxury tour of Peru.
