Detailed Description

Journey through the Sacred Valley and stand on a mountaintop within the Lost City of Machu Picchu, the stone city climbing up the mountainside like a pyramid.

Continue your exploration within the city of Iquitos, a once commerce capital during the rubber boom that contains its historic decadence. Board the luxurious motored vessel, your comfortable and plush cruise ship that will take you along the Amazon basin. Visit local villages with a new understanding of quality harvest and farming.
