Have you been stuck in a same place for what, a couple of months? Well, maybe it is time for you to unwind and relax in a new environment and perhaps get a view of another culture.

Peru maybe one of the places that wouldn’t go in your mind first when you think about going on vacation but in fact for the last seven years or so Peru has offered luxury accommodations and services. It was once a place considered for tired backpackers or wandering hippies yet today Peru caters to all kinds of travelers the luxury they deserve. It is known for a hot spot for luxury hotel developers and providers.

According Luxury Travel Magazine,

In the last 3 years alone, the City of Cusco and nearby Sacred Valley of the Inca’s has seen the opening of 7 spectacular luxury hotels and resorts, including 2 additional orient Express Hotels (El Rio Sagrado & Palacio Nazarenas) and the J.W. Marriott Hotel rumored to have cost around US$ 80 million. Delfin Amazon Cruises and Aqua Expeditions are two of the leading providers of luxury Amazon River Cruises in the region. Guests aboard their specially designed boats can enjoy expeditions deep into the Pacaya-Samiria National Reserve with all the comforts of a 5 star hotel. With limited availability, prices for this once-in-a-lifetime exclusive experience easily rival most Galapagos and Pacific cruises.
