Cusco & The Sacred Valley

8 days - from $1815

It is possible in just a few short days to sample some of Peru's rich mix of culture, history and mountain scenery. After exploring the main sights of Lima's colonial centre, we cross the mountains to Cusco and visit the massive fortifications, temples and colourful towns of the Sacred Valley. After catching a train to the town of Aguas Calientes, we explore the magnificent site of Machu Picchu. They were missed by the Spanish conquistadors during their conquest of the region and remained 'lost' to the outside world until American explorer Hiram Bingham came across them them in 1911. There are plenty of sightseeing options in Cusco and we also have time to wander the narrow streets and shop for some great keepsakes, including alpaca sweaters and colourful Indian hats that are unique to the Andes.
