Unveil a tapestry of rich history, vibrant culture, and captivating experiences in Lima. This exciting metropolis on the Pacific Ocean is full of character. It has a booming culinary scene, urban pre-Columbian pyramids, modern art galleries that will dazzle you and colorful neighborhoods ideal for strolls. It was the "City of Kings" to the Spanish conquistadors. Today it's a city of contrasts: shanty towns rub shoulders with skyscrapers, high-end restaurants with street food, ancient temples sit among colonial churches, and bumper-to-bumper traffic leads to sheer cliffs and endless horizons.
In the heart of Lima's vibrant Miraflores district is Hotel B, a boutique hotel that beckons travelers with its unique blend of historic charm and contemporary elegance. Housed within a meticulously restored Belle Époque mansion, this boutique gem offers an intimate and culturally rich experience. Each room and suite is a sanctuary of comfort and sophistication, adorned with locally inspired artwork and featuring luxurious amenities.

Casa de Aliaga, a 500-year-old colonial mansion that has been in the same family for 17 generations.

After your tour of Lima, enjoy lunch at the local favorite La Mar Cebichería.
The brainchild of a renowned Peruvian chef, La Mar brings the best from Peru’s Pacific waters to the table daily. The pioneering cevicheria, sat in the heart of Lima’s upmarket Miraflores neighbourhood, regularly features on Latin America’s 50 Best list. As you’d expect, there’s a dazzling array of ceviches to choose from, but La Mar is only open between midday and late afternoon each day to ensure only the freshest produce is served. And you best get there early unless you don’t mind standing in line as it’s no reservations and always a popular choice for locals. The size of the menu might be overwhelming, but you can’t go wrong with the classic ceviche made with catch of the day. And for the full Lima experience, it must be matched with at least one pisco sour.

On your way to Cusco, you'll make a brief stop to get an understanding of the human history of the area at the ruins of Sacsayhuaman. It is believed that construction began here during the government of Inca Pachacutec in the 15th century. Supposedly, more than 20,000 men extracted the stones from the nearby quarries and moved it over 12 miles to the hill of the city of Cusco. How exactly did the Incas build Sacsayhuaman with stones of such an immense weight and size at the time? Many questions remain a mystery. Therein lies the beauty of this archaeological site and the Incan people.

Archaeologists believe Moray was utilized as an experimental agriculture station by the Incas. Three natural limestone sinkholes were ringed with concentric terracing, each providing unique temperatures and soil mixtures to reflect the varied growing conditions found across the Incan Empire. It is believed the terraces of Moray were used to acclimate, experiment with, and domesticate different crops.

Welcome to Arequipa, a city where volcanic landscapes meet colonial charm. This city in the highlands of southern Peru earned its nickname "La Ciudad Blanca" (The White City) due to its stunning buildings made from sillar, a white volcanic stone.

From its elegant Spanish-era architecture and the renowned Santa Catalina Monastery to its tantalizing cuisine and vibrant markets, Arequipa is a gateway to adventure, inviting travelers to explore both its historic streets and the dramatic landscapes that surround it.
Located in the historic centre of Arequipa, in a UNESCO protected site, this former monastery dates back to the year 1540 when the city was founded. Reviving the soul of a forgone Parador & inspired by the dedicated way monks would receive travellers, CIRQA pays homage to its heritage by carrying on warm Arequipenean traditions. In appreciation for its history, today the Parador combines its original sillar stone architecture with contemporary nuances to welcome guests.
In the afternoon, your guide will meet you for a private tour of Arequipa – “The White City.” You’ll stroll through the shining center of town – with many buildings made from a white volcanic rock called sillar, giving the city its nickname – until you arrive at the Andean Sanctuary Museum, where you can gaze upon the famous ice-mummy, Juanita.
