Itinerary Description |
Take a journey into the past with this adventure to Peru. After kicking things off with a tour of Lima, the country's capital, we'll fly to Cusco, the gateway city to the ancient wonders of the Inca. A day spent exploring the mysteries of the Sacred Valley will then lead into the trip's highlight, a mindblowing sunrise tour of Machu Picchu, the iconic mountain citadel that stands as a reminder of Peru's unbelievable history. Before returning to Lima, we'll spend a day hiking up Rainbow Mountain, a one-of-a-kind location where Mother Nature shows off her alpine color palette. For those with a thirst for adventure, this trip can't be missed. |
