Machu Picchu Sacred Valley Iquitos Nazca Desert Lima
Machu Picchu
Inca city of Machu Picchu is the long-anticipated highpoint of their trip for many visitors. It is a spectacular location, it’s the continents best-known archaeological site. This awe-inspiring ancient city was never discovered by the conquering Spaniards and was almost forgotten until the early part of the 20th century. The site succeeds in retaining an air of grandeur and mystery.
Sacred Valley
Río Urubamba Valley, known as El Valle Sagrado (The Sacred Valley), is roughly 15km north of Cuzco as the condor flies, via a narrow road of hairpin turns. This has long been the home of attractive foreign towns and isolated weaving villages. The main attractions in the area are the markets and the lofty Inca citadels of Pisac and Ollantaytambo, however the valley is also packed with adrenaline activities from rafting to rock climbing.
Iquitos
Iquitos is the world’s largest city which can’t be reached by road. It’s a prosperous, vibrant jungle metropolis swarming with the usual, inexplicably addictive Amazonian variances. The jungle encroaches beyond town. The mud huts circulate the magnificent tiled mansions; small dugout canoes strand the river together with colossal cruise ships. Iquitos is the place to be for the greater adventure of a boat trip down the Amazon.
