Why 2026 Will Be Peru’s Top Year for Tourism

Rosario Pajuelo Escobar, chief director of PROMPERU in New York, talks with James Shillinglaw of Insider Travel Report gives us an update on what’s going on in tourism to Peru, from Pope Leo XIV's visit to Peru in November 2026 to hosting the World's 50 Best Restaurants awards in Lima, reflecting Peru’s growing culinary reputation. She also talks about new tourism products like the Amazon Explorer, the first-ever Peruvian Amazon River expedition yacht; Suasi Resort, Lake Titicaca, a new eco-resort on the lake's only private island; and Lima's luxury boom including a new The Ritz-Carlton and new JW Marriott Hotel in San Isidro, both debuting in 2028. Then there’s a new cultural and historic destination that is just opening to visitors this year.
