What's this trip about?

    This 8-night escorted adventure will show you the best of Peru with stops at all of the highlights including the Sanctuary Cochahuasi, Machu Picchu and Cusco. In Cusco you will be exposed to some of Peru’s most significant and vivid legacies within the art, stone-walled city streets and archaeological sites. Listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1983, Cusco, located in the south of the Peruvian Andes is the country's leading tourist destination. Known by the Incas as the "Sacred City", Cusco was the capital of one of the main pre-Columbian empires: the Tahuantinsuyo. Its Quechua name, Qosqo, means "navel of the world", because the city was the center that controlled a vast network of roads stretching from southern Colombia to northern Argentina
