Peru
Lima, Cusco, Sacred Valley & Machu Picchu / Andean Explorer & Las Casitas
Peru is one of a select few places on earth where the present resonates with rich, vibrant history. Its past is powerfully evident in evocative Inca hilltop ruins, enigmatic lines carved into the desert, and museums filled pre-Colombian.
Long-held traditions live on: in hand- woven alpaca textiles sold by highland artisans in village markets; in Inca trails etched into the mountains, now thrilling ecotourism routes; and in Andean customs and festivals that reveal the deeply held beliefs of a spiritual people.
