With an intoxicating mix of nature, adventure, culture and luxury lodges that are out of this world, Peru has all of the ingredients for a hot honeymoon.

Stroll hand in hand around its colonial architecture and vibrant districts, before making the trek inland for the big bucket list tick: climbing Machu Picchu’s magical ruins.
Slow things down with a romantic train journey on the 1920s-style Belmond Andean Explorer – said to be South America's first luxury sleeper train – between Cusco and Puno, and complete your trip down south with a cruise on Lake Titicaca among the floating reed Uros islands.

Turn up the passion and thrills in Costa Rica, a perfect honeymoon destination with its luxury lodges, incredible wildlife and jungle adventures.
Start married life right at the magnificent Pacuare Lodge, a remote hideaway where you can white-water raft into the property.
