A rare find
Amantica Lodge
By Catherine, Peru specialist at Etendues Sauvages: “Go to Titicaca? To be honest, I hesitated, because the site was (and still is) heavily visited. Most travellers stay in Puno and take a day trip out to the same islands. So I chose to do the opposite, staying at Amantica, a private house perched on the eastern coast of Amantani Island. A local host facilitates encounters with the community, a private chef takes care of your meals…”. The result: a perfect disconnection, a parenthesis outside of time.”

Your questions / Our answers
After a trip to Peru, I'd like to add an extension — what do you suggest?
It may not be the first idea that comes to mind, but we would suggest a few days in an eco-lodge combining comfort, quality of service and the rainforest experience, at the heart of a private reserve in the Peruvian Amazon. After a tiring journey given the country’s size and altitude, the rainforest is a genuine tropical haven, ideal for recharging.
Does Peru offer a strong hotel infrastructure?
Peru boasts remarkable hotels, with properties from prestigious chains such as Orient Express, now rebranded Belmond, or Relais & Châteaux. We offer outstanding lodges deep into the Amazon, exceptional city hotels, or a private villa on Lake Titicaca. You can enjoy memorable journeys aboard the Orient Express trains from Arequipa or Puno. Or you might choose to travel aboard the luxury Hiram Bingham train to Machu Picchu.
Can Peru meet our appetite for activities?
The Sacred Valley is an outstanding setting for activities such as day or multi-day treks, cycling, horse riding, and workshops with local communities.
What can only be found in Peru?
Unquestionably Machu Picchu, discovered with genuine emotion as it has kept all its magic. Then: the food.
If one had to choose a single country in South America for a culinary journey, it would be Peru. Peruvian gastronomy is now known worldwide, the country home to Michelin-starred chefs. In the 1990s, Peru underwent what could be called a gastronomic revolution, driven by chef Gastón Acurio, originally based in Lima. Our favourite? In Moray, Mil — named after the altitude — is nothing like a classic “fine dining” establishment. At 42, Peruvian chef Virgilio Martinez is the new giant of a responsible gastronomy that celebrates ecosystems. An integrated approach that makes this chef a man of the 21st century. Having lunch at Mil means living an experience with real meaning.
Where to travel as a family with children and teenagers in Latin America?
If we had to pick three, it would be Costa Rica, Mexico and Peru.
Costa Rica, because it’s a small country of nature best explored freely, with a rental car. It offers a genuine playground suited to a host of sporting and fun activities. Each day is punctuated by sightings of turtles, whales, noisy tropical wildlife, volcanoes, bubbling hot springs. We love it!
Mexico, and the Yucatan in particular, because it lets you combine culture, nature and beach without covering long distances, with a rental car.
Peru, because it guarantees a trip punctuated by cultural and sporting activities. And walking the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu will stay etched in your memory forever.
