A
s a travel company, we deal with and are aware of thousands of hotels world-wide. Obviously we only decide to include in
our programmes those hotels which meet our standards and requirements. However, there are hotels which are outstanding, not just because they are deluxe standard or expensive but because they are special. Goway selects and offers designated
hotels under the banner “Stays of Distinction” in the South Pacific, Europe, Middle East, Africa, Asia and South and Central
America. Not every selected hotel follows the same criteria for selection. The contributing factors could be any of the following.
Stunning location, historical landmark, exceptional service and architectural design plus many other considerations. Below are a
small sampling of the many on offer in South America.

In the heart of the Sacred Valley and surrounded by Andean peaks and a short journey from
Machu Picchu, the Sol y Luna hotel offers all the
amenities expected in a luxury hotel – free wifi,
sauna, gym, heated swimming pool, yoga classes
and world class cuisine. A complex of stone and
adobe buildings with eclectic furnishings, the hotel
is a fine example of Peru past and present and the
perfect base for journeys throughout the Sacred
Valley and Machu Picchu.
In the heart of the avant-garde district of Barranco,
on the shore of the Pacific Ocean, sits Hotel B. This
upscale hotel, built in 1914 in the Belle Epoque
- “Beautiful Era style” - transports you back to
Lima’s colonial time. Inspired by the Bohemian
atmosphere of the leafy neighborhood, the hotel
has a private collection of contemporary art by local
artisans adding to the unique charm to the interiors.
Located in the center of the upscale Recoleta district,
the Alvear Palace is the most exclusive hotel in Buenos
Aires and one of the top hotels in the world. It is

A gilded classical confection full of marble and bronze,
the Alvear combines Empire- and Louis XV-style
furniture with exquisite French decorative arts. The
illustrious guest list has included Antonio Banderas,
Donatella Versace, the emperor of Japan, and Robert
Duvall, to name a few. Butler service, Hermes de Paris
toiletries, flower arrangements and fresh fruits, cellular phone, direct fax line, DVD player and pc upon

explora Valle Sagrado is a fully all-inclusive
experience offering guests over 20 included activities,
either on foot, by bicycle or in one of the small private
coaches. All meals are based on the finest Peruvian
cuisine and all drinks make the explora Sacred Valley
experience as unique as the valley itself.
The high ceilings and sweeping staircase create a
stately feeling with an atmosphere of intimacy that
comes from the small number of rooms: 10 in the
main house and seven in a annex that complements
the central building.

of Huaca Huallamarca. See the Historical Center,
Plaza Mayor (main square), the Government Palace,
the Archbishop's Palace, and streets with colonial
mansions and Moorish balconies. Visit the home

The outing begins at the Koricancha Temple, an old

sun god, Inti. When the Spanish conquered Peru,
the Dominican order built a lovely church over top
of this temple’s foundations: the church of Santo
Domingo, which still stands there today. Next up,

Admiral Francisco Alderete Maldonado. The exhibits
show Cusco’s history intertwined with the Inca past.

HISTORY TRIVIA
Throughout the 1970s and early 1980s
Goway operated overland bus adventure
journeys between Bogota and Rio de Janeiro,
and Central America connector trips between
Toronto and Panama by minibus.
Four South America trips operated each year,
two of which coincided with Carnaval in
Rio. The whole journey took 82 days and
followed a very similar itinerary to La Gran
Aventura above, without flying! It too was
also called La Gran Aventura.
Off the beaten track in South America in the 1970's

P
erhaps more so than any other place in
the world, the fauna of the Galapagos
Islands is unique. Charles Darwin's obser
observations of the animals and the subtle
variations between races of the same spe-cies living on different islands led directly
to his theory of natural selection. The
islands are blessed with pleasant weather
all year round.. With land based options,
diving and snorkeling opportunities, a trip
to the Galapagos Islands will be a memo-rable journey.

viewing and appreciation of the history and geology of Spitsbergen.
Polar bear viewing is almost guaranteed, with
Hornsund being one of their preferred hunting
areas and the towering cliffs of Alkefjellet providing many free bird egg meals for both them and
the Arctic fox.
Coming across a walrus haul-out is a moment
you won’t forget either. These lumbering giants of
the Arctic create quite a noisy scene, as each walrus vies for a choice spot of coastline. Each day

Close to Santa Marta, the tiny laid back fishing
village of Taganga is the ideal base for trips to
Tayrona National Park and trekking to the Ciudad
Perdida.
Sitting on the rugged slopes of the Sierra Nevada
de Santa Marta is the ruins of the ancient capital
of the Tayrona people. Discovered in 1975 by
treasure hunters it is believed to have been built,
before Machu Picchu. To reach it involves a trek
through dense jungle, crossing hanging bridges
and waist-deep rivers and climbing 1260 steps at
the entrance to the ruins.

Day 5 Torres del Paine. Walk from the campsite towards
Hostería Las Torres before ascending to Ascencio Valley
on the Tower's eastern face. Mountain ridges, beech
forests and small rivers line the scenic walk towards the
valley. After a tough uphill climb, the Towers eventually
come into full view, rising majestically before us, with
the glacial lake visible below. Is there any better place
in the world to have lunch? After feasting on the view
and our picnic, backtrack along the same trail through
Ascencio Valley and return to EcoCamp for a welldeserved dinner.
