Peru has long captivated travelers with its vibrant culture, dramatic landscapes, and spirit of adventure. Guided by Belmond, the country unfolds through a selection of iconic properties and exclusive train journeys. From the elegance of Miraflores Park in Lima to the mythical heights of Machu Picchu, the luxurious Andean Explorer, and the tranquility of Las Casitas in the Colca Canyon, this book blends Peru’s traditions with Belmond’s distinctive style. With text by journalist Catherine Contreras, Peru: An Odyssey across a Time-Honored Land invites readers on an unforgettable journey that continues to inspire long after it ends.
Part of Assouline’s new series with Belmond, the book reshapes the traveler’s perspective, turning a visitor into someone who seeks, learns, and connects. This transformation may emerge over a dish at Mauka, during a rare Chuncho cacao ritual at Rio Sagrado, or while watching sunrise over Machu Picchu. By journey’s end—across six hotels and two trains—the traveler returns home changed, with a broader outlook and a renewed sense of wonder.
Founded in Paris in 1994 by Prosper and Martine Assouline, Assouline is the first luxury brand on culture. It began with the desire to create a new, contemporary style of book, using the couple's experienced eye for visually rich stories and compelling narratives.
Guided by their passion for knowledge, culture and travel, the Assoulines have since expanded their vision to 1,700 titles in three main collections, along with special editions and unique library accessories—a grand oeuvre of inspiring creations. Throughout the last quarter of a century, the brand has established a network of international boutiques in prominent locations across the globe.
With a distinguished team of creative talents—which includes the founders' son Alexandre—the brand continues to reinvent the notion of true luxury. Assouline’s roster of collaborators includes some of the world’s most respected brands, artists, photographers, writers and designers.
