Picchu) 4D/3N
Description
Four days of hiking on the Inca trail to Machupicchu
(the Incas Royal Road to Machu Picchu), the lost city of
the Incas.

Intipunku, the dramatic ridge top "Gateway to the Sun."
The first glimpse of Machu Picchu is a stunning,
dramatic overview of one of the world's greatest
cultural treasures.
Numerous other Inca cities, along the rouse now
archarlogical com plexes,help us understand Machu Picchu
in the economic, social, and military context it had for
its citizens. We pass among wheat-coloured high
mountains, under stunning Mount Salkantay and her
glaciers, and through the richly diverse forests in the
interstitial niches between jungle and highland.
