Explore Peru’s rich culture and ancient Incan civilization with us as we travel through the Sacred Valley and into the Andes to Machu Picchu, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the New Seven Wonders of the World. A local Peruvian guide will share the secrets of his cultural heritage as we explore Ollantaytambo, Andean villages, ruins and agricultural terraces. We’ll hike through lush high-mountain forests where hummingbirds and sparkling waterfalls entice us on our journey. Finally, we pass through the Sun Gate where majestic views of Machu Picchu―the Lost City of the Incas―reward us.
