PERU ONE <strong>OF</strong> <strong>THE</strong> <strong>BEST</strong><br />
SAYS CONDÉ NAST<br />
Art in Motion - Peruvian Edition is a new project from<br />
Belmond that will bring its guests closer to contemporary<br />
national culture through arts, design and food. The venue<br />
for this work was the Hiram Bingham train, which has been<br />
re-conceived by artist Fito Espinosa to evoke the natural<br />
world. The drinks menu has been recreated by Aaron Diaz,<br />
the mixologist of the popular bar Carnaval in Lima, and the<br />
food includes dishes prepared with local ingredients of the<br />
highest quality. Also, the uniforms of the staff have been<br />
revamped by fashion designer Jose Miguel Valdivia, taking<br />
inspiration from the outfits of Hiram Bingham himself<br />
during his expedition to Machu Picchu in 1911, though with<br />
a modern touch.<br />
Prestigious magazine Condé Nast Traveler has chosen Peru<br />
as one of the best countries in the world in its latest annual<br />
Readers Choice <strong>2019</strong>. More than 600,000 readers took<br />
part in the survey, rating their travel experiences around<br />
the world, and placing our country Peru in sixth place<br />
overall. In the survey, several Peruvian hotels were ranked<br />
in the top ten in South America: Aranwa Cusco Boutique<br />
Hotel (# 1), Aranwa Sacred Valley Hotel & Wellness (# 2),<br />
Country Club Lima (# 5), and Sumaq Machu Picchu Hotel (#<br />
9). In the resorts category, the Condé Nast readers chose<br />
Tambo del Inka, Luxury Collection Resort & Spa (# 5), Hotel<br />
Paracas, Luxury Collection Resort & Spa (# 8) and Aranwa<br />
Pueblito Encantado del Colca (# 9). Finally, the Belmond<br />
Andean Explorer was named the best train in the world,<br />
and the Belmond Hiram Bingham won fifth place.<br />

Maido<br />
For the third year in succession, the restaurant Maido has<br />
been selected as the best in the region in the awards for<br />
Latin America’s 50 Best Restaurants, held in Buenos Aires,<br />
Argentina. Mitsuharu Tsumura, the Chef who fronts up<br />
Maido, received the award which places Maido as the top<br />
restaurant, once again ahead of Central and chef Virgilio<br />
Martinez, which took second place. Meanwhile, Peru was<br />
once again recognised as the world’s Leading Culinary<br />
Destination – for the eighth time – in the global edition<br />
of the World Travel Awards, the Oscars of Tourism. In the<br />
same awards ceremony, held in Oman, our country also<br />
triumphed in the category of Leading Cultural Destination<br />
and won Leading Tourist Attraction with Machu Picchu.
