Peru is for those with an appetite. We meet over lunch at Mauka by Pía León, tucked into the old heart of Cusco. Outside, centuries of history; inside, a one of the World’s Best Chefs with something new to say about Peru. We’ll start by tasting what she has in mind.

Then we head into the Sacred Valley. The mountains make their first impression; and over the next six nights, we’ll get interested in the smaller things, too. What’s growing beside the path. Who made the ceramics. What Chef Pío has done with an ingredient we’ve never seen before.

Hannah lived in Peru for three years, and the week follows relationships formed there: people whose work, knowledge, and company she travel’s back again and again for.

We’ll take the train to Machu Picchu, and hike to ancient ruins and sacred springs. Those who want to go further can join an optional horseback excursion or spend an afternoon with textile artists, learning how plants become color. Fair warning: their stories may move you more deeply than you expect.

Back at our private spa, Cassie offers twice-daily yoga for anyone who wants it. There’s cold water, sauna, and farm-to-table dinner to look forward to.
