LIMA
SOUTHAMERICAN
GASTRONOMIC CAPITAL
Lima is a bustling metropolis build between the Pacific Ocean and the Andes Range Mountain. A superb melting pot of
indigenous tradition, colonial culture and modern elements. The historical centre is a Unesco World Heritage Site; its many
restaurants are among the best of South America; museums, private collections, bars and clubs make the City a “must to see”.
CUSCO
THE MAGIC OF
A LOST EMPIRE
The City of Cusco is
a unique testimony
of the ancient
Inca Civilization.
Renowned for its
unique architectural
beauty, Cusco is
today considered
the archaeological
capital of South
America. A city of
charm and mystery,
a place of intense
lights and stunning
sunsets, home to
superb hotels, fine
restaurants and
unique atmospheres.
Welcome on board to a unique train ride … destination Machu Picchu!
Known as “the lost city of the Incas”, Machu Picchu is a world top archaeological site. Built on the summit of a mountain,
it was hidden to humanity until 1911 when north American explorer Hiram Bingham discovered its rest. Since then, it has
become an icon and in 2007 was declared one of the 7 new wonders of our planet. Even the most experienced traveller
stays speechless in front of its majesty.
Welcome to a world of excellence, luxury, hospitality, comfort.
More then 3.000 ceremonies take
place every year in Peru. Making
a “fiesta” is such an important
aspect of Peruvian culture. Dances,
masks, music, colourful actresses
and powerful actors fill the square
of remote villages, slip off along
the main road and enliven the
quiet nights.
We invite you to join the party!

AREQUIPA & COLCA VALLEY
ASTONISHING LANDSCAPES
There are places where our planet still surprises
us; Colca Valley is definitely one. With more then
3.000 meter’s depth, it is the second deepest
canyon in the world. Surrounded by red sand
volcanoes, it is home of the last Andean condors.
The beauty of the landscape goes along with

WHERE THE OCEAN
MEETS THE DESERT

Peru”. Over flight the

the ancient Nazca.
