PERU: Tour of the Incas
2021 Sept 1-10
Lima, Cuzco and Machu Picchu
P E R U :
Cusco- Birthplace of the world, 3400 above sea level
Seductive, striking and natural, Cuzco’s history lives in its streets, squares, valleys and towns. Stunning destinations and examples of fine engineering by Inca stonemasons can be seen in Choquequirao, Saysayhuamán, Kenko, Tambomachay, Ollantaytambo and Machu Picchu, the Inca jewel built with the wisdom of the ancient Peruvians in an ecological environment. Captivating landscapes such as the Sacred Valley, where the mountains are clothed by terraces.
URUMBABA Valley
The Sacred Valley is a popular destination in Peru’s Cusco area, and a day trip is sure to be filled with many magical moments.
There are numerous monuments to admire and you’ll pass through a number of towns and villages, each with their own unique flavor.
The verdant Urubamba Valley is given life by the gushing Urubamba River, home to native wildlife.
Another highlight of the valley is Pisac with its bustling traditional market- browse an array of handicrafts and souvenirs and have light-hearted fun as you barter with vendors to secure the fairest prices for all.
Various activities include rafting, hiking, exciting quad biking and thrilling zip line adventures.
PISAC Town
Boasting one of the area’s most vibrant markets, you’ll find fresh produce, household essentials, handicrafts, clothes, souvenirs, and more.
The colonial village sits beneath a hilltop Incan fortress, with an ancient sundial, temple remains, plazas, foundations, and terraces.
There are several places where old and young alike can delight in getting up close and personal with alpacas and other creatures.
Examples include Awana Kancha and the Living Museum of the Andes.
From hiking past pristine mountain lakes to relaxing yoga workshops, there are many activities to try too.
VINICUNCA 'Rainbow Mountain'
The newest addition to day trips in Cusco, Rainbow Mountain didn’t actually exist until around 2015. Okay, it existed, but it was hidden away under thick layers of ice. The rising temperatures from climate change took their toll however and the ice of centuries gave way to reveal one of the world’s most unique mountain ranges. Owing a lot of its recent fame to its position as an ‘Instagram-sensation’, Rainbow Mountain is now struggling with the early signs of over-tourism, so please tread lightly should you choose to visit.
MACHU PICCHU
Machu Picchu is an Incan citadel set high in the Andes Mountains in Peru, above the Urubamba River valley. Built in the 15th century and later abandoned, it’s renowned for its sophisticated dry-stone walls that fuse huge blocks without the use of mortar, intriguing buildings that play on astronomical alignments and panoramic views. Its exact former use remains a mystery.
It is 80 kilometres (50 miles) northwest of Cusco, on the crest of the mountain Machu Picchu, located about 2,430 metres (7,970 feet) above mean sea level, over 1,000 metres (3,300 ft) lower than Cusco, which has an elevation of 3,400 metres (11,200 ft).
