Summary
Machu Picchu, Cuzco, the Colonial jewel of Arequipa and the enormous, enigmatic Nazca Lines — this is the classic tour of some of Peru’s major archaeological and cultural attractions. Explore the world-famous sites of the Inca alongside the intriguing remains of their lesser-known predecessors and immediate descendants as we climb from the Pacific into the highlands to the ancient heartland of the Inca Empire. From intriguing lines in the arid coastal deserts to royal estates on the Urubamba river on our descent to the ‘lost city’ of Machu Picchu, from colonial cities to breath-taking golden artefacts left by the earliest Andean civilisations, this is an epic adventure.
What to Expect
- Experience the world-renowned Machu Picchu after the crowds start to disperse and again at daybreak, before it gets busy
- Discover the Inca heartland around their capital of Cuzco, a location that is also home to the Incas’ most sacred shrine – the Temple of the Sun
- Grasp the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to take a thrilling flight over the mysterious Nazca Lines (flight is optional. Pre-bookable on request, at a supplement)
