Dr. Jones – From Peru to Patagonia

Your journey begins in Barranco, the most charming neighborhood of the Peruvian capital. Among colorful houses, boutiques, and galleries, you will feel the spirit of a city that blends history with the present. You will stay at the elegant Hotel B – an artistic refuge in the Relais & Châteaux style. Those who wish can explore the cliffs while paragliding or stroll through the creative district. Culinary-wise, Lima presents itself in its most refined form: influences from Japan, Africa, and the Andes merge here into one of Latin America's most exciting cuisines.

In northern Peru, between the Andes and the Amazon, a world full of mysteries awaits you. The Chachapoya, known as the “Warriors of the Clouds,” lived in hidden jungle regions and left impressive burial sites in inaccessible cliff walls. You will stay at the Gocta Nature Reserve Lodge, overlooking one of the highest waterfalls in the world. Hikes lead to hidden sarcophagi, exotic birds, and breathtaking panoramas. Here, time seems to stand still – a place that unites nature, silence, and myth.

Paracas welcomes you with golden sandy landscapes, wide silence, and glowing sunsets. In the specially designed Dune Camp for this journey, you will stay in luxurious tents right in the desert. A sense of expedition – combined with the highest comfort. During the day, you will explore the region by 4x4, visit a winery with Pisco tasting, or dive with local fishermen for scallops. In the evening, a gourmet menu awaits you under the open sky, accompanied by the starry sky of the Peruvian coast – an experience that lingers.

The Atacama is more than just the driest desert in the world – it is a landscape of extremes, colors, and light. Your base is the stylish Tierra Atacama in San Pedro, surrounded by salt flats, lagoons, and volcanoes. You will hike through the Rainbow Valley, relax in mineral-rich springs, and marvel at the starry sky during a private astronomy session. A highlight is the flight over the mystical Nazca Lines – millennia-old geoglyphs that stretch across the earth like messages from another world.

Green, melancholic, and rich in tradition: Chiloé is a world unto itself. Fishing boats, colorful wooden churches, and stilt houses shape the landscape. In the architecturally extraordinary Tierra Chiloé overlooking the bay, you will find tranquility, spaciousness, and genuine island flair. By boat or on foot, you will explore the life of the islanders, accompanied by myths, the sound of the sea, and a nearly forgotten slowness. Evenings bring regional specialties and views of the water – a quiet, poetic moment on the journey to the wild south.

At the finale of this journey, Patagonia greets you with all its drama: windswept plains, turquoise lakes, and steep peaks. In The Singular – a converted industrial building by the fjord – history meets design. You will visit a traditional estancia and experience the life of the gauchos, take a boat trip to a nearby glacier, or explore the Torres del Paine National Park on short hikes. The region touches the heart – with its vastness, wildness, and the realization of how small we are in this world.
