PERU

Luxury Peru Travel, Far Beyond Machu Picchu

Everyone Thinks Machu Picchu Is Simple to Plan. It Is Not.

There are dozens of small decisions behind a great Peru trip, and getting them wrong is a series of missed opportunities.

Which route to take. Where to stay. How to handle the altitude. When to do the Sacred Valley from Cusco and how long to stay. What to expect when you arrive in Aguas Calientes. The timing of all of it.

Most travelers plan this blind, make a few wrong calls, and end up with a trip that works but misses the magic. The altitude alone derails people who did not prepare for it properly.

The Mistake That Wastes Your Trip

Peru has one of the great food cultures on earth, and I have never eaten so much or so well on a single trip. Lima alone is worth the flight.

I traveled Peru solo, which should tell you something about how accessible and rewarding it is for the prepared traveler. And the Hiram Bingham train by Belmond through the Sacred Valley? Non-negotiable. Full stop. 

Machu Picchu is not the whole story of Peru, not even close. 

It is the experience, not just the way to reach the destination.

Seeing Machu Picchu involves far more decisions than people expect. 

I advise on how to reach Machu Picchu, where to stay, how to battle the altitude before it battles you, and how to structure the Sacred Valley and Cusco so the whole trip flows. And once you arrive, there is another layer most people do not know about.

Machu Picchu has different circuits, designated routes through the site, and each one offers a different experience. I help you choose the circuit that fits the traveler you are and what you want out of your visit, plus how to get your tickets and how to avoid the lines. These are the intricate decisions that make or break Peru, and they are exactly what I handle.

And the culture and cuisine are part of the experience. I will be honest: I tried cuy, the local guinea pig, once and will never do it again. But I will make sure you have the chance to decide for yourself. 







Peru is a place I genuinely loved, and I will build you a trip that lets you love it too.

What I Bring to Your PERU Trip

Family trip to Florence, Sorrento, and the Amalfi Coast

- Jess Hayes

"I plan a vacation the way I run a sales pipeline. Obsessively. And none of it would have come together the way it did without Christine. In sales we talk about the value of an expert, the person who has done the thing a hundred times and can tell you what is actually worth your money. Christine is that for travel."

"She even arranged an upgrade that brought tears to my eyes."

30th anniversary, Virgin Voyages Mediterranean cruise

- Candy Boayue

"Christine planned our 30th anniversary Mediterranean cruise on Virgin Voyages for 45 of our closest friends and family, and it was exceptional from start to finish. She coordinated everything, the cruise, flights, transfers, hotels in Athens and Barcelona, and private tours. She even arranged a private cocktail reception onboard on the evening of our anniversary."

"It was the most stress-free and most meaningful trip we have ever taken."

Last-minute birthday trip, Paris and Milan

- Chrissy Maycole 

"My boyfriend woke me on the eve of my birthday and said, pack, you and the girls are going to Paris and Milan today. He had not booked anything. My first response was to panic. Then I called Christine. She booked our flights, secured 5-star hotels in both Paris and Milan surrounded by the best shopping, and a Michelin-starred restaurant for an unforgettable birthday dinner. She made sure we made our flights and was on the phone the moment we landed in Paris. We could not have done it without you."

"She calmed my nerves, and in a matter of hours she had curated an experience I will carry for the rest of my life."

First trip abroad, milestone birthdays, Paris and Bordeaux

- Kenneth and Lynea Pitts 

"When we decided to celebrate our milestone birthdays in Europe, we entrusted Christine with planning it. She arranged private museum tours in Paris, exclusive vineyard visits in Bordeaux, and private drivers throughout. When weather cancelled a scheduled boat ride, she responded swiftly with a private chef experience instead."

"A truly memorable trip."

12-day luxury Turkey journey

- Jemah Freeman-Parker 

"The itinerary took us through Izmir, Cappadocia, Bodrum, and Istanbul, with sunrise hot air balloon rides, exclusive cave lodging, a sunset Bosphorus cruise, and private tours of Hagia Sophia and the Blue Mosque. Every aspect was elevated by Christine's commitment to luxury. If you are seeking world-class service and luxury at every step, this is the one to trust."

"Our 12-day luxury journey through Turkey was nothing short of extraordinary. "

25-day journey through Italy, France, and the Netherlands

- Alicia Williams

"She helped us curate a 25-day trip throughout Italy, France, and the Netherlands with ease, and our travel was equally seamless. Highly recommend."

"Christine is warm, intelligent, knowledgeable, organized, and passionate about travel."

10th anniversary, Marbella and Istanbul

- Adam and Amie Bakare 

"As someone who usually stresses over every detail of trip planning, handing over the reins for our anniversary getaway felt like a big deal. But trusting Christine to plan our trip to Marbella and Istanbul turned out to be one of the best decisions I have made. From luxe accommodations to a thoughtfully curated tour, every part of the trip felt elevated, without me having to obsess over every detail."

"The peace of mind, the beautiful details, and the ease were priceless."

50th birthday, Guyana

-  Lola Knights

"My recent trip to Guyana was nothing short of extraordinary. What began as a birthday adventure became a meaningful journey of discovery and connection to my family's history. What impressed me most is that Christine listened carefully to what I hoped to experience and partnered with trusted local experts who brought the vision to life flawlessly."

"She created far more than a vacation. She helped create an experience I will cherish for a lifetime."

Group trip to Turkey

"My husband and I traveled to Turkey on a group trip organized by BonVoyage Christine, and the experience exceeded every expectation.
