Experience Machu Picchu in style aboard the exclusive Hiram Bingham train, then explore the dramatic Colca Canyon, the colonial charm of Arequipa, and the serene beauty of Lake Titicaca. With a curated selection of luxurious hotels, world-class trains, and bespoke experiences across Peru’s most spectacular destinations, we’ve partnered with Belmond and their exceptional Peruvian team to craft immersive escapes that will leave you spellbound.

Let's get started designing your perfect trip now!
Iguazu Falls - TLT Signature Destination - One of the Wonders of the World - Argentina and Brazil - Stunning, breathtaking, pick a superlative—but it doesn't do justice to the world's largest waterfall. Surrounded by tropical forests and drenched in history and culture, you need to take 2 or 3 days to fully experience this natural wonder. With easy flight access from Buenos Aires, a private car will be waiting to take you directly to your hotel.
Argentine Side - If you want to be at the falls, we recommend the Gran Melia Iguazu, a natural sanctuary nestled in the heart of the Alto Paraná Atlantic forests, where the falls majestically tumble alongside the resort. For a more exclusive and private experience, we suggest Awasi Iguazu. Located in lush rainforest just 20 minutes from the falls, each of the 14 villas on stilts features its own private pool. The Relais & Chateaux chef crafts cuisine that brings the jungle to the plate, balancing sophistication and simplicity based on changing tastes and seasons. The surrounding area is teeming with natural wonders—orchids, ferns, endemic tree species—along with tapirs, monkeys, pumas, and colorful bird life.
Brazilian Side - On the Brazilian side, we recommend Belmond's Hotel das Cataratas. This secluded retreat, surrounded by rainforest, offers exclusive access to the park—without the crowds. Experiencing the falls in near solitude is magical. But the hotel offers more than just a prime location; you can soak in the jungle chorus while floating in the pool, stroll through gardens filled with orchids, and sip caipirinhas as the sun sets.
Let's Chat! - We’ll give you the inside scoop from our first-hand experience. Let’s start planning your trip to one of the most incredible natural wonders in the world.

Maldives Marvels -  TLT Signature Destination - There is no place quite like the Maldives. Arguably the best beaches on the planet are complemented by some of the world's most sumptuous and luxurious remote stays. Each resort in the Maldives features private island experiences accessible by boat and/or air transfers from Male, the nation's capital. World-class diving and snorkeling over pristine reefs teeming with sea life, seemingly endless breaks for dynamite surfing, virgin fly fishing flats, and romantic over-the-water bungalows await you. And, with the world's most exclusive hotel brands competing to attain greater heights of luxury, standards of services and personal attention are off the charts. Click here to see some of our favorite resorts in the country.
Seychelles Wonders - TLT Signature Destination - We fell in love with these islands in January 2000, when we led the first-ever fly-fishing group to Alphonse Island Resort. At the time, this was the preeminent frontier of saltwater fly-fishing. Today the fly-fishing options are greatly expanded and led by some of the finest and most experienced fly-fishing outfitters and guides in the world, who have been partners and friends for many years. In addition, the islands have seen an expansion into luxury tourism, with top resorts providing unique remote experiences in some of the most gorgeous marine and beach environments on the planet. Click here to see some of our favorite resorts in the country.
Costa Rica - Pura Vida -  "pure life" or "simple life," pura vida is a phrase you will hear time and again when visiting Costa Rica. While this saying may easily roll off your tongue, pura vida is more than words — it's a lifestyle that serves as a reminder to practice optimism and gratitude to lead a full and happy life. ​Boasting astounding biological diversity and landscapes comprised of active volcanoes, tropical rainforests, and pristine beaches — a visit to this Central American sanctuary is like living in a dream. And if you ask us, the perfect secluded escape is to the spectacularly beautiful Papagayo Peninsula located on the north Pacific coast.
Featured Hotels Include: Andaz Costa Rica Resort at Peninsula Papagayo, nestled in a lush forest  with breathtaking views of Culebra Bay. Four Seasons Resort at Peninsula Papagayo, the perfect balance of comfort, luxury, and privacy.
Arrival and Departure: Couldn't be easier. A 30 minute private chauffeured ride from Liberia airport, serviced by 
American, Delta, and United through Dallas, Houston, Miami, and Atlanta. 
Travel Planning: With your input, we custom design flexible travel itineraries which include flights, transfers, your choice of stellar accommodations and experiences, and even insurance — so you can book, fly, stay, and return home safely with peace of mind.  Let's get started!

​TLT customized African destinations with our partners at Micato - Luxury African Safaris.
The Micato Classic Safari Collection abounds with incomparable luxury Safari options for solo travellers, groups, couples, and families. Whether you want to explore a specific country, celebrate an anniversary, birthday, or graduation, or indulge a particular interest, we offer fabulous choices. And please note that any of the Classic Safaris can easily be converted into a Private Classic safari exclusively for your family or friends.

Some of our favorite safari itineraries include:

The Micato Grand Safari (15 days door-to-door service) - 
The grand, glamourous, unabashedly luxurious safaris are central to East Africa’s heritage as one of the world’s most desired destinations. This Grand Safari is Micato’s homage to those old and romantic days, to their indulgent and exquisite grace.
The Hemingway Wing Safari (14 days door-to-door service) - Such is Africa's allure: that a bright fellow like Hemingway would lie in his tent, homesick before he'd even parted from a place that had come to seem more like home than home itself. The Hemingway Wing Safari—a cherished favourite of Micato staff—is a tribute, not only to Africa’s tendency to grab hold of our hearts, but also to the old-fashioned and cozy safaris of Hemingway’s time, with three tented camps (a little more luxurious than in Ernest’s day, but he was never one to avoid intelligently offered luxury), good looks at East Africa’s most legendary game parks (and a couple of lesser-known gems), and five swooping flights that bring us into great intimacy with Africa’s landscapes.
The Tanzania Spectacular (10 days door-to-door service). - Ok, we know many of you are busy in your work and family lives, and time is precious. And so we offer this safari to three major contributors to the East African mystique: the classic game lands of Tarangire, the Ngorongoro Crater, and the fabled Serengeti - all in a mere but marvelous 10 days.

OK, yes, this is just the tip of the African iceberg, yet each of these adventures will deliver unforgettable experiences and life-long memories. 
Get in touch with us today to choose the African adventure of your dreams.
