The M/V Aqua can accommodate a maximum of 24 cruise ship guests plus crew. This luxury cruise ship is the perfect size to sail along the Amazon River, providing extremely comfortable lounge, dining and sleeping accommodations and modern navigation technologies and standards for cruise ship travel and safety on the water.

The M/V Aqua’s twelve oversized cruise ship suites, including 4 Master suites, feature en suite sitting areas and generous outward-facing picture-windows with panoramic Amazon river views. Each of the handsomely decorated, air-conditioned cruise ship suites measure between 230 to 240 square feet. Four of these suites can be interconnected, to cater to families.

This exquisite XVIth century colonial manor is one of the first Spanish buildings in Cusco


Re-live a privileged tradition.
Inkaterra presents Cusco’s first luxury boutique hotel, reflecting a privileged mélange of culture and tradition.

Meticulously restored.
This exquisite XVIth century colonial manor —perhaps the first Spanish construction in Cusco— centrally located on an Incan settlement near Cusco’s present-day main square, later occupied by the conquistadores of Peru and their descendants. Eleven suites surround a sumptuous courtyard, where the patina of time is tastefully preserved. Contemporary amenities create the ambience of comfort and exclusivity enjoyed by residents in centuries past.


A quiet oasis.
Located on the serene Plaza Las Nazarenas, Cusco, Peru. Surrounded by astounding Andean sceneries.

Activities: rafting, Museum, churches, ruins, colonial and Incan buildings.
