The Deal

Begin your tour in the city of Lima. Begin at the colonial center of the city, declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site, with its historic buildings surrounding the splendid Plaza Mayor. View the impressive Palace of the Archbishop with its fine carved balcony, the opulent Government Palace, the official residence of the President, and the 16th-century Cathedral of Lima whose first stone was laid by Pizarro.

Next, transfer to the Sacred Valley's Ollanta Station and board The Expedition Train to Km 104. Begin your gradual uphill trek along the Inca Trail towards Machu Picchu, a once-in-a-lifetime experience. During your hike, soak up the magic of the Inca Trail. Surrounded by stunning scenery, view ancient Inca ruins and witness the endemic flora and fauna. 

Lastly, drive to Wayllarcocha for a shaman ceremony. Meet with a local "shaman" (holy man) and learn about Andean culture and traditions. Afterward, hike down to the impressive fortress of Saqsaywaman, an enormous Incan site that overlooks Cuzco. During your tour, observe the precision masonry of the massive stones that fit together without mortar.
