Hidden from the world until 1911, this Incan refuge in the mountains is breathtaking in every sense. Many sites are yet to be discovered and explored. Ancient Incan energy is ever-present. Locals have an enduring love-hate relationship with their paradoxical city. Lima has both decaying colonial splendor and the teeming vitality of an oriental bazaar.
Elegant corners stand among ancient buildings where the night air is scented with jasmine.
Explore the rainforest and villages of this lush tropical environment on daily excursions from our Lodge. Then we fly to LIMA in time for dinner and exploration of this fascinating city. Time to rest, and explore this fascinating town on your own. Cuzco was built on the sumptuous remains of Incan temples and palaces, and has a 16th century cathedral, old colonial homes, and local artisans at San Blas headquarters with shopping for outstanding silver, art and weavings. We start from Chila, and follow the Urubamba River with spectacular views.
