Description
Begin in Lima, with its fascinating colonial history, staying a night at the Miraflores Park, before flying up to Cuzco and heading into the beautiful Sacred Valley with its fascinating Inca heritage, sublime mountain landscapes and utter tranquility. Stay 2 nights at the lovely Hotel Sol y Luna.
From here you will travel by rail through the Urubamba Valley to Machu Picchu, the breathtaking ruined citadel of the Incas set amongst spectacular forested peaks. Enjoy a private guide to tour the ruins, and stay at the superb Inkaterra Machu Picchu set amongst the hummingbird-filled cloudforest.
Return by train to Cuzco, one of the most charming towns in the Americas. Cuzco is rich in Indian culture with beautiful colonial architecture, cobbled streets and nearby ancient Inca ruins. La Casona is the address to stay while in this fabled city, and is a beautifully converted monastery dating back to the sixteenth century.
Next fly to the mighty Iguassu Falls. Stay at the lovely Hotel Das Cataratas within sight and sound of the falls themselves and explore the rainforest walkways, take an exhilarating jetboat ride to the base of the falls, or simply relax while toucans and parrots fly overhead.
The grand finale is Rio de Janeiro, renowned for its spectacular bay, miles of golden sands and vibrant atmosphere. The Copacabana Palace is a luxuriously grand hotel overlooking the most famous of Brazil’s beaches.

When to travel
April to November is the ideal time to travel, as the rainy season in Peru runs from December to March. If travelling in June, then the midwinter solstice festival celebrated in Cuzco towards the end of the month is a spectacularly colourful occasion and well worth considering, but book well in advance to secure availability.
