Visit the world famous Machu Pichu
Four hours by train from Cusco, these beautifully preserved ruins consist of an enormous stone city hidden by a spectacular mountain plateau, overlooking the deep canyon of the Urubamba River.
It is impossible to overstate the sheer breathtaking beauty of Machu Picchu, the lost city of the Incas. A jewel of architecture and engineering, it astounds every visitor with its palaces, temples and observatories. It is Peru’s ‘must-see’ destination.
