A LUXURY VACATION TO MACHU PICCHU

There are few sites as majestic and inspiring as Machu Picchu, the great 15th century Inca citadel buried deep in the Peruvian jungle.

This UNESCO World Heritage Site sits in the heart of the Urubamba Valley, 300 miles south of Lima. It was re-discovered in 1911 by American university lecturer and  explorer Hiram Bingham and today receives more visitors than any other site in South America.

Cusco is the base for hikes to Machu Picchu and adventures into the Sacred Valley and to the lesser-known Pisac, Sacsayhuamán & Ollantaytambo ruins.

WHAT TO SEE AND DO AT MACHU PICCHU

Travelling to the iconic citadel of Machu Picchu is an unforgettable adventure whichever route you take.

If you’re looking for a challenging adventure, hike the Inca Trail, arriving at the citadel via the Sun Gate. For a less challenging adventure, Huayna Picchu stands behind Machu Picchu and offers impressive views.

Alternatively, take the Inca Rail, to Machu Pichhu, enjoying dramatic views as the line follows the Urubamba River. For the epitome of luxury, the Hiram Bingham train offers an extravagant experience, complete with cocktails, fine dining and panoramic views.
