This exquisite 16th century colonial manor was one of the first Spanish buildings in Cusco and is located just steps away from the picturesque main square. Once occupied by the conquistadors of Peru, it is now an exclusive boutique hotel that has been carefully restored to retain its historical heritage and décor. With suites set around a Spanish courtyard, the manor offers sober elegance without sacrificing authenticity. Inkaterra La Casona is the perfect place from which to explore the Incan Capital.

This restaurant was founded 18 years ago and is managed today by Diego Muñoz. It epitomises Gastón Acurio and Astrid Gutsche’s dream of sharing their contemporary take on Peruvian cuisine with the entire world. Astrid & Gastón’s cuisine draws its inspiration from the traditions and the biodiversity of Peru, and yet never breaks its links with the world around it, responding first and foremost to the challenges posed by the future and by our environment. A living experience with a hint of magic and sensitivity.
The lush vegetation of the five hectares of tropical gardens unfolds before you at the foot of the citadel of Machu Picchu, in the heart of the cloud forest. Marked paths invite you to explore this paradise of ferns and orchids, of which the estate boasts one of the finest collections in the world, not to mention the many species of birds and butterflies. A little further on, the sacred Inca sites and their secrets await you. After a day spent exploring, it is a delight to come back to the comfort and genuine charm of the villas, enjoy sitting in front of a warm fire and the natural treatments inspired by the spirituality of the Andes in the spa, or taste a “quinotto” (a “risotto” made from quinoa) at the restaurant overlooking the river.
Mere mention of the name of Lake Titicaca is enough to transport you into a dramatic and mysterious world. At an altitude of more than 3,800 metres, on the border between Peru and Bolivia, this cradle of the Inca civilisation is still home to one of the oldest communities in South America. Titilaka Lodge is tucked away in this unique landscape, totally off the beaten track on its own private peninsula, in a refurbished building. It sits at the water’s edge and offers splendid views of the lake from each room. It harmoniously blends contemporary décor with delightful touches of local heritage and direct contact with luxuriant surrounding nature. Located next door to the hamlet from which it takes its name, it gives you the opportunity to explore the way of life and traditions of the lake dwellers.
