Tripcode: APA

Countries Visited: Peru

Culture, wildlife and archaeology in Peru's highland and jungle regions.

Llamas and girls at Sacsayhuaman, Cuzco, Peru

The scope of Peru's geography and history is enormous, and our feature-packed itinerary provides an excellent introduction, from the vast Inca ruins on the barren altiplano to the dense rainforest of the Amazon Basin. Cuzco, the timeless capital of both the Incas and Conquistadores, is our gateway to the lost city of Machu Picchu, the Incas' most famous and mysterious site. We overnight on Lake Titicaca, the world's highest navigable lake, and fly to the Amazon Basin for an expedition deep into the jungle.
