Cuzco: Hotel Raymi (nights 1-2 and 5)







Within easy reach of the airport and the historic centre, Hotel Raymi is in an ideal location for the start of our trip. The hotel is a short walk from restaurants and Plaza de Armas, a great place for a stroll as you get used to the altitude.



Ollantaytambo: Tunupa Lodge Hotel (night 3)







The mountain-wrapped Tunupa Lodge has an undeniably scenic location in the Sacred Valley of the Incas. It also has a bar and restaurant serving delicious local and international cuisines, plus a variety of drinks. Head to the lovely garden to relax and get to know your group a little better.



Aguas Calientes: Hotel Hatun Inti Classic (night 4)







In the heart of Aguas Calientes, Hatun Inti Classic is in the ideal spot to access Machu Picchu, while also being in easy reach of the town stores. In the hotel, there's also a top-floor restaurant with wonderful views of forested slopes.



Quito: Vieja Cuba Hotel (night 6, 7 and 14)

Galapagos: Hotels (nights 8-13)



In the Galapagos, we use small, family-run hotels and guesthouses. They are well located for our adventures, meaning we can spend as much time as possible exploring the extraordinary landscapes and wildlife of the Enchanted Islands.



Worth knowing



Galapagos accommodation: Given the remote and isolated nature of the Galapagos, accommodation options are limited, and you may experience occasional hot water outages, blackouts and slow wifi. While the facilities may not match the comfort levels of the mainland, the unique opportunity to explore this extraordinary destination makes it a worthwhile experience.
