About the Trip
Considered one of the most famous archaeological sites on the continent, the Inca citadel of Machu Picchu exceeds every visitor’s expectations. Set in a spectacular location, in the middle of a tropical mountain forest, it is likely the most amazing urban creation of the Incan Empire. Explore the spectacular ruins of Ollantaytambo in the beautiful Río Urubamba Valley, known as the Sacred Valley, and the Moray archaeological site with its series of concentric agricultural terraces. Discover the ancient salt pans known as Salineras de Maras, which have been used for salt extraction since Inca times. This journey will take your breath away!
