Hotel B is a Belle Époque mansion in Barranco, built in 1914 as a summer house and later restored as Lima's only Relais & Châteaux hotel. Lima's first art-boutique hotel, it has art on every wall, much of it from the gallery next door, and a roof terrace that looks over the rooftops to the sea. The rooms are tall and quiet. One night, a good bed, a long dinner, and the city's best neighbourhood at the door.

Explore Barranco’s vibrant cultural scene, from street art and local cafés, to exotic fruit markets and streets full of bohemian energy.

Deep within northern Peru’s cloud forest, Gocta Natura began as a reforestation project. The lodge came later, and it sits lightly on the land, with the mighty falls in view from the deck. Six bungalows of timber and stone, in a private reserve of more than 12 hectares of cloud forest.

A full day through the cloud forest, on foot or partly on horseback, to stand at the base of one of the tallest waterfalls on Earth. At 771m, Gocta Falls is in full view of the lodge, and lunch is laid out in the forest along the way.

Clay figures taller than a man guard the Chachapoya dead from a cliff ledge, visited alongside an archaeologist who makes the history come alive.

Dozens of hummingbirds at once, the rare Marvellous Spatuletail among them.

At an inland oasis in the Peruvian desert, Dune Camp — created exclusively for Echo Charlie — is like a scene out of an explorer's journal. Here, your nights unfold under vast desert skies in luxurious tents that evoke the old-world thrill of past explorers.

Lunch and a Pisco tasting under the vines at the historic 1625 Vineyard introduces Peru’s iconic spirit.

A day at sea provides a rare opportunity to dive alongside local fishermen, observing traditional harvesting techniques in one of Peru’s richest marine environments. Enjoy your seafood harvest at sea on board your own private yacht.

A sunset drives transports you through the sculpted dunefields as the shifting light transforms the terrain. Return to Dune Camp for gourmet dining under canvas, framed by expansive desert skies.

Just before departing Peru, we take a scenic flight over the Nazca Lines, offering a rare aerial perspective on one of South America’s great archaeological enigmas.

The lodge in Atacama is located in the oasis of San Pedro de Atacama, on the beautiful Ayllu de Yaye. In the driest desert on Earth, Tierra Atacama is a luxurious retreat where one can experience the desert’s most dramatic features: salt flats, volcanoes, hot springs and star-studded skies.

On the ground, guided excursions explore desert valleys, salt formations, and geothermal landscapes.

The desert's low humidity and high altitude make it one of the best places in the world for astronomical observations. With guided talks and private observatory access, evenings are reserved for stargazing and astronomy under some of the clearest skies on Earth.

There is no better place to view the otherworldly volcanic landscapes of the Atacama than during an early morning float over the driest desert on earth.

An architectural jaw-dropper inspired by traditional ‘palafitos’ or houses on stilts over the sea, this is an overnight stop on our way along the Chiléc coastline. Perfectly positioned on expansive grounds overlooking Pullao Bay and the southern archipelago, Chiloé offers a gateway to a world where the cadence of nature and the enduring age-old island customs still hold sway.

A day visit to Castro, where colourful palafitos rise on stilts above the tidal edge and wooden fishing boats drift quietly in the harbour. Wander the waterfront, meet local artisans, and trace the island’s maritime heritage before gathering for a traditional curanto — a slow-cooked feast of shellfish, meats, and potatoes prepared underground, as it has been for generations.

The Spa at Refugia offers a welcome stone-themed refuge after a few days of exploration, with indoor and outdoor pools, terraces, and views of the wildlife-rich Pullao Bay and wetlands. The seashell-inspired wooden sauna, the steam room and the poolside lounges invite relaxation.
