One idea when we designed this trip is to have a surprise element in each destination—whether it’s a romantic dinner under the stars, a chilled bottle of champagne waiting in your room, or a couple’s spa treatment surrounded by nature. These touches are thoughtfully placed to make each moment feel special and spontaneous.
Explore the Sacred Valley Beyond the Usual Sights. The Sacred Valley is often presented as a string of famous archaeological sites between Cusco and Machu Picchu. But to experience it properly, you need to slow down and get beyond the main attractions.
The cuisine and culinary traditions of the Ancient Mayans were diverse and extensive. The Mayans were hunters, fishers and used their own gardens to grow their food supply. Their most traditional dishes use a variety of ingredients. Their largest crop production was maize (corn). Cacao, another principle crop, was used in a sacred drink and also as an exchange unit in its grain form. The Spanish colonization brought change to the region.
