Belmond Miraflores Park

The hacienda is famous for being the oldest working distillery in the Americas, dating back to 1684, and is where the celebrated Pisco Porton is still handcrafted under the world’s foremost pisco authority, Johnny Schuler.

The estate still has the original distillery as well as a striking modern facility which encloses copper pot stills, each used in the creation of La Caravedo’s two distinct piscos, as well as acres of vineyards and new building which houses the hotel’s bedrooms and swimming pool.

During a stay here, learn all about the pisco making process, explore the property by horse or bicycle, and explore the surrounding desert. The famous Nazca lines and coast are also close by.

Named after the first American to discover the Incan hilltop citadel in 1911 and owned by Orient Express, the Hiram Bingham is a world-class luxury train.  Travellers on the train are driven to Poroy station just outside Cusco to board the exclusive blue and gold painted carriages and for just over three hours you are resplendently transported to Aguacalientes, the town beneath the ruins.

Aboard, the 1920s Pullman carriages reflect the opulence of the locomotive era bedecked in polished brass, wood panels and rich, comfy seating. There is also a period observation car at the rear.

Brunch on the outward journey and dinner on your return are included. These are taken in the elegant dining car replete with white-linen tablecloths, clinking crystal, and you are looked after by the smartest team of waiters. Whilst feasting on fine Peruvian cuisine the steamy forest scenery unfolds right in front of you and there’s a great bar car that often has live music on the return leg, or you can just simply relax into a snug armchair in one of the carriages.

Escorted to the Lost City of the Incas there is a small-group guided tour included, but for those who would like a more exclusive visit we can easily arrange a private one for you.

The only accommodation located inside of Machu Picchu, The Sanctuary Lodge offers stunning views from many of the rooms and the hotel is within walking distance of the Incan ruins. The gorgeous garden is a wonderful place to have breakfast or a cocktail in the evening while relishing in the peace of the surroundings. Given the location, space is at an economy so the standard rooms are not overly spacious. However, this is a small price to pay for such a stunning location. All meals are included in the cost.
