From $5999
For thousands of years, Peru's extraordinary beauty has been both the backdrop of incredible cultural and spiritual expression, and a pallet for architectural artists.
Your journey will take you through the cultural heart of Lima, charming Cusco, and the Valley of the Incas (all world heritage sites). But perhaps what will impress and inspire you most is your visit to one of the world's most important archeological sites: the ancient mystical city of Machu Picchu.
Many visitors to Machu Picchu report a strange energy they feel, walking among the ruins. Perhaps it's simply the beauty of the Inca's mass stone structures set atop high mountains over the winding Urubamba River below. Or, perhaps it is the leftover blessings of an ancient Inca Priest.
Whatever it may be, nothing can truly prepare oneself for the "magic" of Machu Picchu. Come see why Out Traveler named Zoom Vacations tour to Peru one of 10 trips that can change your life.
