NASCA LINAS & BALLESTA ISLANDS

NASCA LINAS & BALLESTA ISLANDS

Experience a journey to the 'coastal desert' in Peru to see the Nazca Lines, one of the world's great mysteries and the Ballestas Islands which offers an enjoyable wildlife experience in a comfortable ambience.

DAY 1

Depart the Pier in Callao, this morning you will depart by private vehicle for a very scenic drive south of Lima, on the four lane South Panamericana highway towards Paracas. On the way, you will visit the Pachacamac temple. Located 31 km south of Lima, it was one of the most important ceremonial centers in Pre-Hispanic America. It dates from 300 AD, but lasted through 4 different cultures in the area, the last of which was the Incas themselves, prior to its fall in importance following the Spanish conquest. Today we can still see the Old Temple, the Temple of the Sun, the Temple of Urpi Wachack, and the Temple of the Moon.

Continuing south, still on the Panamericana, are the favorite beaches among the people of Lima, ideal for swimming and surfing. Later you will enter the Cañete Valley and its fields of cotton, asparagus, tangerines, sweet potatoes and orange marigolds. Continue driving you will pass Chincha enclaves of Peruvian Black art.

You will arrive at your hotel in Paracas where, after lunch, time is spent at leisure, you can enjoy the hotel facilities or the sport activities the hotel offers, like biking, snorkeling, kayaks, Jet Ski, Water Ski, wind surfing or Banana.

Meals are served at your hotel.

Overnight at the Luxury Collection Paracas Hotel.

DAY 2

After Breakfast drive to the local airport of Pisco to board your flight of approximately 1h45m, which carries you over the famed Nazca Lines. The Nazca Lines are a series of drawings of animals, geometric figures and birds ranging up to 1,000 feet in size. Preserved for an estimated 2,000 years on this desert crust, the lines have prompted many theories of their creation, from pre-Inca irrigation systems; to pleas from the ancient Peruvians to the gods above to help with their farming; to extra-terrestrial intervention. As for their creation we ask you to come to your own conclusions!

Following your flight, you will enjoy a lunch at your hotel.

Afternoon is left at you choice either at leisure at the hotel or one of the following:

- A "Pisco Tour", driving to a local hacienda. You will be welcomed by the vineyard's manager who will explain how the grapes are grown and how the pisco is produced, and of course you will have the chance to taste the different types of Peru national drink. OR

- B 4x4 adventure across the desert: to the east of the Paracas Bay stretches an area of sand dunes and oases of a kind featured in Hollywood desert movies. Our professional drivers will take guests on a 2 hour drive in SUV's up and down these majestic mounds of sand. This is an experience no one would want to pass on.

Overnight at the Luxury Collection Paracas Hotel.

DAY 3

After Breakfast you make an early start in order to take the boat out to the Ballestas Islands. Famously referred to as "Peru's Galapagos", these islands include some of the wildlife of their more glamorous counterpart, including seals, sea lions, and boobies.

Afterwards you will visit the National Reserve of Paracas. Traveling across what seems like desert wasteland, but what really is home to a huge variety of marine birds and other wildlife, your drive takes in the unique beauty of their natural habitat. Visit different beaches within the reserve's confines, appreciating the colorful settings contrasted against the backdrop of the Pacific Ocean. You will also have a chance to explore the Visitor's Center to see replicas of the wildlife protected within the reserve, such as the Humboldt penguin, cormorants, terns, turtles, dolphins, flamingos, and others. Depending on the weather conditions of the day, you may want to take a brief hike around the bay to see flamingos and other bird species, migratory and resident, in their natural habitat.

After this visit, you will be driven to San Martin pier in Pisco to board your vessel.

JOURNEY TO IQUITOS & AMAZON

JOURNEY TO IQUITOS & AMAZON

This 3 day Overland will have you exploring the myths, mysteries and magic of the world's most exotic jungle

DAY 1

Depart the Pier in Callao and transfer to the Airport in Lima for your flight to Iquitos. Upon your arrival in Iquitos, you will be met at the airport for a brief orientation of the city. European-Peruvians established Iquitos as a Jesuit mission to the indigenous peoples in the 1750s. In 1864 it started to grow when the settlers created the Loreto Region and made Iquitos its capital. It is the seat of a Roman Catholic Apostolic Vicariate. Iquitos was known for its rubber industry through the rubber boom of the first decade of the 20th century; it attracted thousands of immigrants from around the world, mostly young, single men who hoped to make their fortunes in rubber. Some men became merchants and bankers, and made their fortunes that way. Many of the European men married indigenous women and stayed in Peru the rest of their lives, founding ethnically mixed families. The immigrants brought European clothing styles, music and other cultural elements to Iquitos. Located on the Amazon River, it is only 106 m (348 ft) above sea level, although it is more than 3,000 km (1,864 mi) from the mouth of the Amazon at Belém in Brazil, on the Atlantic Ocean. It is situated 125 km (78 mi) downstream of the confluence of the Ucayali and Marañón rivers, the two main headwaters of the Amazon River. Iquitos has long been a major port in the Amazon Basin. It is surrounded by three rivers: the Nanay, the Itaya, and the Amazon. After your brief city tour, transfer to the Explorama dock for your 25 mile journey down the Amazon River to Ceiba Tops, your lodge in the Amazon rainforest. Ceiba Tops, the newest of Explorama's lodges, opened in 2000, is located on the banks of the Amazon River. The lodge offers the comforts of home, air conditioned rooms with private bathrooms, in the most luxurious of Amazonian Rainforest settings.

In the afternoon you will hike in the beautiful primary rainforest reserve surrounding the lodge which includes many huge trees festooned with epiphytes.

After dinner there may be local flute or guitar music at the El Toucan Bar or the guides are always ready to relate some of the many legends of the Amazon forest.

Overnight at CEIBA TOPS LODGE.

DAY 2

You can choose between:

A) Morning boat ride, spotting for dolphins, to visit a small village of Yagua Indians where your guide will explain the local Yagua Indian culture and how it was affected by the arrival of Europeans and the passing of time. There will also be an opportunity to see some of the local crafts and for a demonstration of the blowgun which some of the Yagua elders still use for hunting.

After lunch in your lodge, afternoon walking excursion to the neighboring town of Indiana. Originally a Franciscan mission, Indiana has grown into a large river community with its own market, high school and small hospital.

B) Full Day Excursion to the Canopy Walkway: The Canopy Walkway is an experience unequaled in the rainforest! At a height of over 35 meters (115 feet) and extending for 500 meters (one-third of a mile), the Canopy Walkway provides a view of the rainforest from the treetops, the best vantage point for observing Amazon wildlife and vegetation. The Canopy Walkway is accessible to all and requires no special skills or equipment. The suspended walkway is spread between 14 of the area's largest rainforest trees and is one of the longest canopy walkways in the world.

This evening enjoy a farewell dinner with local dancing presentation.

Wonder at the beauty of the mysterious citadel, Machu Picchu, known as the "Lost City of Incas". Perched 7,900 feet above sea level on a mountain ridge, this archaeological jewel is the most famous icon of the Inca world. Equally fascinating is nearby Cuzco, the historic capital of the Inca empire, a city that blends colonial Spanish charm with the more ancient remains of the Pre-Colombian glory. Along your journey explore Sacsayhuamán which is a walled complex on the northern outskirts of the city of Cusco, Peru, the former capital of the Inca empire. Located on a steep hill that overlooks the city, it contains an impressive view of the valley to the southeast. Surface collections of pottery at Sacsayhuaman indicate that the earliest occupation of the hill top dates back at least a millennium.

In this place you will visit the Cathedral whose construction was begun in 1560 and it was consecrated in 1669. Like the Cathedral in Lima, it has had Gothic, Mannerist-Renaissance and Baroque influences.

You will drive then to Sacsayhuaman, an impressive example of Inca military architecture, only 10 minutes from the centre of the city.

Excavations have only added to the mystery, revealing the skeletons of 173 people (50 of them are women), artifacts and woolen clothing, but no gold. Overlooking the raging Urubamba River, in a hidden tangle of vines and trees atop the mountain, the city of Machu Picchu will forever hold its secret of its destruction since the Incas left no written record.

PRE - 3 NIGHT IQUITOS & AMAZON

ORIGINS OF IQUITOS

This journey will help you to fully understand the history behind this beautiful city and natural wonder. European-Peruvians established Iquitos as a Jesuit mission to the indigenous peoples in the 1750's. Iquitos was known for its rubber industry through the rubber boom in the first decade of the 20th century, attracting thousands of immigrants from around the world, creating a melting pot of ethnic mixed families. Enjoy a 25 mile journey down the Amazon River on a river boat, as you make your way to your lodge in the Amazon rainforest.

YAGUA INDIANS AND CANOPY WALKWAY

Enjoy the flexibility of choosing your activities for this program. You can opt for a morning boat ride, spotting for dolphins and other wildlife as you make your way to small village of Yagua Indians, where you will be explained the Yagua Indian Culture and how it was affected by the arrival of Europeans. Marvel at the local crafts made by the tribe, and see ancient hunting techniques from the elders. Your other option is to explore the Canopy Walkway, an experience unequaled in the rainforest! At a height of over 115 feet and extending for one-third of a mile, the Walkway provides a view of the rainforest from the treetops, the best vantage point for observing the Amazon wildlife and vegetation. The Walkway is accessible to all and requires no special skills or equipment.

o 2,000 species of fish, more than those in the Atlantic Ocean.

o 4,000 species of birds, including 120 hummingbirds.

o 60 species of reptiles such as the caiman and anaconda, the world's largest non-poisonous snake.

o Mammals like the marmoset, anteater, tapir, capybara and pink dolphin.

POST-3NT CUSCO & MACHU PICCHU

WWonder at the beauty of the mysterious citadel, Machu Picchu, known as the "Lost City of Incas". Perched 7,900 feet above sea level on a mountain ridge, this archaeological jewel is the most famous icon of the Inca world. Equally fascinating is nearby Cuzco, the historic capital of the Inca empire, a city that blends colonial Spanish charm with the more ancient remains of the Pre-Colombian glory. Along your journey explore Sacsayhuamán which is a walled complex on the northern outskirts of the city of Cusco, Peru, the former capital of the Inca empire. Located on a steep hill that overlooks the city, it contains an impressive view of the valley to the southeast. Surface collections of pottery at Sacsayhuaman indicate that the earliest occupation of the hill top dates back at least a millennium.

Day 1

This morning you will be transferred from Callao pier to Lima airport where you embark on your flight to Cusco, an Andean community and former ancient capital of the Inca Empire.

You will continue to the beautiful square surrounded by stone arches, a spectacular arcade constructed during colonial times. In this place you will visit the Cathedral whose construction was begun in 1560 and it was consecrated in 1669. Like the Cathedral in Lima, it has had Gothic, Mannerist-Renaissance and Baroque influences.

You will drive then to Sacsayhuaman, an impressive example of Inca military architecture, only 10 minutes from the centre of the city. Strategically placed on a hill overlooking Cusco, this spectacular fortress guarded the capital of the empire, and in the jaguar of Cusco, (the city of Cusco was supposedly built in the shape of a jaguar), represented the head, and its jagged wall formation the teeth.

Excavations have only added to the mystery, revealing the skeletons of 173 people (50 of them are women), artifacts and woolen clothing, but no gold. Overlooking the raging Urubamba River, in a hidden tangle of vines and trees atop the mountain, the city of Machu Picchu will forever hold its secret of its destruction since the Incas left no written record. You will enjoy a relaxing buffet style lunch served at Machu Picchu Sanctuary Lodge Hotel at the entrance of the citadel.

Delve into the sacred and mysterious landmarks of the Inca Empire, including famed Machu Picchu, the Lost City of the Incas, and other ancient temples, all precisely constructed without mortar.

DAY 1 - Tuesday, May 6th, 2014

Following disembarkation from the ship, you will be transferred as a group to the airport for your flight to Cusco. Upon arrival, transfer and check in at the Libertador Palacio Del Inka Hotel. Lunch is on your own today.

In the afternoon, you will embark on a city tour of Cusco, starting with the sacred site of Koricancha. Here, you will admire the lovely Dominican Convent of Santo Domingo that was built on the foundations of the Temple of the Sun, the most sumptuous temple in the Inca Empire. The curved, mortar-less masonry wall at the west end of the church is considered to be one of the greatest existing examples of Inca stonework.

Continuing on, you will see the splendid Baroque-style Cusco Cathedral, built in the mid-1500s on the foundations of an Inca palace. Many of the stones used in its construction were looted from the nearby Sacsayhuaman fortress, your next stop.

Strategically located on a hill overlooking Cusco, the fortress was constructed without mortar like many other Inca structures. Yet the enormous stones (some weighing 200 tons) of the remaining walls fit so tightly that not even a thin blade of grass can slide between them. The craftsmanship is a stunning example of the Inca's sophisticated construction techniques and architectural skills.

Nearby, you will see other Inca landmarks such as the Temple at Qenquo, named for its zig-zag canal, a shrine dedicated to Mother Earth, and the pinkish stone fortress of Puka Pukara.

After returning to your hotel, you will spend the evening at your leisure. As you will be dining on your own, you will receive a dinner certificate for a three-course meal and drink. The "dine around" certificate can be used at several participating restaurants.

DAY 2 - Wednesday, May 7th, 2014

Following breakfast, you will drive to Cusco's train station and board the Vistadome Train, which features large panoramic windows for excellent viewing of the passing landscape.

Upon arriving in Aguas Calientes, you will drive to the ruins of Machu Picchu to explore this famous "Lost City of the Incas." Constructed as a royal retreat for the Inca emperor Pachacuti in the 1400s, Machu Picchu was abandoned less than 100 years later, its population probably devastated by smallpox. Because the Spanish conquistadors never found this hidden city, Bingham discovered it largely intact.

Architectural highlights include the Temple of the Sun, designed much like the one in Cusco, several other temples, hundreds of terraces, and a mysterious carved stone situated on a raised platform that towers above the plaza. The stone may have been used for astronomical observations, but no one knows for certain. The Inca had no written language, so there is no record of Machu Picchu's ultimate purpose. Scholars are still striving to uncover clues as to its mysteries.

After visiting Machu Picchu, you will enjoy a relaxing lunch at the Machu Picchu Sanctuary Lodge Hotel at the site's entrance, and then board the Vistadome Train for a scenic ride back to Cusco. Upon arriving, you will transfer back to the Libertador Palacio del Inka for the evening and dinner on your own.

DAY 3 - Thursday, May 8th, 2014

POST - IQUITOS AND THE AMAZON

European-Peruvians established Iquitos as a Jesuit mission to the indigenous peoples in the 1750s. During the rubber boom of the late 19th century, Iquitos attracted thousands of immigrants from around the world, creating a diverse culture of ethnically mixed families. After a tour of Iquitos, enjoy a 25-mile riverboat journey down the Amazon River to your lodge in the Amazon rainforest. You may choose to visit a Yagua Indian village and learn firsthand about the native culture, or perhaps you prefer to venture along the Canopy Walkway, suspended over 100 feet in the air, for a tree-top view of the amazing Amazon wildlife and vegetation.

PRE CUZCO & MACHU PICCHU - DE

PRE CUZCO & MACHU PICCHU - DE

Delve into the sacred and mysterious landmarks of the Inca Empire, including famed Machu Picchu, the Lost City of the Incas, and other ancient temples, all precisely constructed without mortar.

DAY 1 - Saturday, May 3rd, 2014

After flying into Lima International Airport, you will be met by a representative and transferred to the elegant Country Club Lima Hotel. This five-star property stands proudly among the grand embassies in the capital's affluent San Isidro district.

Afterwards, enjoy dinner on your own in the hotel or in one of the nearby restaurants and then retire for the evening in a spacious Master Room.

DAY 2 - Sunday, May 4th, 2014

Much of the morning is devoted to the flight from Lima to Cusco, once the capital of the Inca Empire. After arriving in Cusco and checking into the luxurious Hotel Monasterio, you will enjoy free time to acclimate to the elevation (11,152 feet above sea level) and explore a bit on your own.

In the early afternoon, you will embark on a city tour of Cusco, starting with the sacred site of Koricancha. Here, you will admire the lovely Dominican Convent of Santo Domingo that was built on the foundations of the Temple of the Sun, the most sumptuous temple in the Inca Empire. The curved, mortar-less masonry wall at the west end of the church is considered to be one of the greatest existing examples of Inca stonework.

Continuing on, you will see the splendid Baroque-style Cusco Cathedral, built in the mid-1500s on the foundations of an Inca palace. Many of the stones used in its construction were looted from the nearby Sacsayhuaman fortress, your next stop.

Strategically located on a hill overlooking Cusco, the fortress was constructed without mortar like many other Inca structures. Yet the enormous stones (some weighing 200 tons) of the remaining walls fit so tightly that not even a thin blade of grass can slide between them. The craftsmanship is a stunning example of the Inca's sophisticated construction techniques and architectural skills.

Nearby, you will see other Inca landmarks such as the Temple at Qenquo, named for its zig-zag canal, a shrine dedicated to Mother Earth, and the pinkish stone fortress of Puka Pukara.

After returning to the Hotel Monasterio, you will spend the evening at your leisure. As you will be dining on your own, you will receive a dinner certificate for a three-course meal and drink. The "dine around" certificate can be used at several participating restaurants.

DAY 3 - Monday, May 5th, 2014

Following breakfast, you will drive to Cusco's train station and board the deluxe Hiram Bingham train, named for the American archaeologist who initiated the excavation of Machu Picchu in 1911. Brunch will be served during the journey, as you take in the spectacular Andean scenery.

Upon arriving in Aguas Calientes, you will drive to the ruins of Machu Picchu to explore this famous "Lost City of the Incas." Constructed as a royal retreat for the Inca emperor Pachacuti in the 1400s, Machu Picchu was abandoned less than 100 years later, its population probably devastated by smallpox. Because the Spanish conquistadors never found this hidden city, Bingham discovered it largely intact.

Architectural highlights include the Temple of the Sun, designed much like the one in Cusco, several other temples, hundreds of terraces, and a mysterious carved stone situated on a raised platform that towers above the plaza. The stone may have been used for astronomical observations, but no one knows for certain. The Inca had no written language, so there is no record of Machu Picchu's ultimate purpose. Scholars are still striving to uncover clues as to its mysteries.

After visiting Machu Picchu, you will enjoy a relaxing afternoon tea at the Machu Picchu Sanctuary Lodge Hotel at the site's entrance, and then board the Vistadome Train for a scenic ride back towards Cusco. Along the way, you will stop for dinner at the Sol Y Luna Hotel and then transfer back to the Hotel Monasterio for the evening.

After flying back to Lima, you will transfer to the port of Callao to embark the ship.

PRE - IQUITOS AND THE AMAZON

PRE - IQUITOS AND THE AMAZON

European-Peruvians established Iquitos as a Jesuit mission to the indigenous peoples in the 1750s. During the rubber boom of the late 19th century, Iquitos attracted thousands of immigrants from around the world, creating a diverse culture of ethnically mixed families. After a tour of Iquitos, enjoy a 25-mile riverboat journey down the Amazon River to your lodge in the Amazon rainforest. You may choose to visit a Yagua Indian village and learn firsthand about the native culture, or perhaps you prefer to venture along the Canopy Walkway, suspended over 100 feet in the air, for a tree-top view of the amazing Amazon wildlife and vegetation.

POST-CUSCO & MACHU PICCHU-ST-B

Wonder at the beauty of the mysterious citadel, Machu Picchu, known as the "Lost City of Incas". Perched 7,900 feet above sea level on a mountain ridge, this archaeological jewel is the most famous icon of the Inca world. Equally fascinating is nearby Cuzco, the historic capital of the Inca empire, a city that blends colonial Spanish charm with the more ancient remains of the Pre-Colombian glory. Along your journey explore Sacsayhuamán which is a walled complex on the northern outskirts of the city of Cusco, Peru, the former capital of the Inca empire. Located on a steep hill that overlooks the city, it contains an impressive view of the valley to the southeast. Surface collections of pottery at Sacsayhuaman indicate that the earliest occupation of the hill top dates back at least a millennium.

Day 1

After enjoying breakfast on board your vessel, disembark and transfer to the airport where you will board your flight to Cusco, an Andean community and former ancient capital of the Inca Empire. Upon arrival in Cusco, you will be met and immediately transferred to your hotel in Cusco.

You will continue to the beautiful square surrounded by stone arches, a spectacular arcade constructed during colonial times. In this place you will visit the Cathedral whose construction was begun in 1560 and it was consecrated in 1669. Like the Cathedral in Lima, it has had Gothic, Mannerist-Renaissance and Baroque influences.

You will drive then to Sacsayhuaman, an impressive example of Inca military architecture, only 10 minutes from the centre of the city. Strategically placed on a hill overlooking Cusco, this spectacular fortress guarded the capital of the empire, and in the jaguar of Cusco, (the city of Cusco was supposedly built in the shape of a jaguar), represented the head, and its jagged wall formation the teeth.

Excavations have only added to the mystery, revealing the skeletons of 173 people (50 of them are women), artifacts and woolen clothing, but no gold. Overlooking the raging Urubamba River, in a hidden tangle of vines and trees atop the mountain, the city of Machu Picchu will forever hold its secret of its destruction since the Incas left no written record.

For lunch you will enjoy a relaxing buffet style lunch served at Machu Picchu Sanctuary Lodge Hotel at the entrance of the citadel.

Afterwards, you will descend back to the train station where you will join your train to Cusco, where the transport will be waiting for you for your transfer to your hotel.

Wonder at the beauty of the mysterious citadel, Machu Picchu, known as the "Lost City of Incas". Perched 7,900 feet above sea level on a mountain ridge, this archaeological jewel is the most famous icon of the Inca world. Equally fascinating is nearby Cuzco, the historic capital of the Inca empire, a city that blends colonial Spanish charm with the more ancient remains of the Pre-Colombian glory. Along your journey explore Sacsayhuamán which is a walled complex on the northern outskirts of the city of Cusco, Peru, the former capital of the Inca empire. Located on a steep hill that overlooks the city, it contains an impressive view of the valley to the southeast. Surface collections of pottery at Sacsayhuaman indicate that the earliest occupation of the hill top dates back at least a millennium

What to Bring:

o Comfortable, casual clothing in natural, "breathable" fabrics. Temperatures will change as altitudes and time of day change, so it's best to bring shorts as well as long trousers, and clothing you can layer. Cathedrals, churches, and other religious sites require conservative dress. Both sexes should cover their arms, legs and shoulders.

Delve into the sacred and mysterious landmarks of the Inca Empire, including famed Machu Picchu, the Lost City of the Incas, and other ancient temples, all precisely constructed without mortar.

DAY 1 - Friday, January 31st, 2014

After flying into Lima International Airport, you will be met by a representative and transferred to the Casa Andina Private Collection Miraflores, a four-star hotel in the heart of Lima.

Afterwards, enjoy dinner on your own in the hotel or in one of the nearby restaurants and then retire for the evening.

DAY 2 - Saturday, February 1st, 2014

Much of the early morning is devoted to the flight from Lima to Cusco, once the capital of the Inca Empire. After arriving in Cusco and checking into the Libertador Palacio del Inka, you will enjoy free time to acclimate to the elevation (11,152 feet above sea level) and explore a bit on your own.

In the early afternoon, you will embark on a city tour of Cusco, starting with the sacred site of Koricancha. Here, you will admire the lovely Dominican Convent of Santo Domingo that was built on the foundations of the Temple of the Sun, the most sumptuous temple in the Inca Empire. The curved, mortar-less masonry wall at the west end of the church is considered to be one of the greatest existing examples of Inca stonework.

Continuing on, you will see the splendid Baroque-style Cusco Cathedral, built in the mid-1500s on the foundations of an Inca palace. Many of the stones used in its construction were looted from the nearby Sacsayhuaman fortress, your next stop.

Strategically located on a hill overlooking Cusco, the fortress was constructed without mortar like many other Inca structures. Yet the enormous stones (some weighing 200 tons) of the remaining walls fit so tightly that not even a thin blade of grass can slide between them. The craftsmanship is a stunning example of the Inca's sophisticated construction techniques and architectural skills.

Nearby, you will see other Inca landmarks such as the Temple at Qenquo, named for its zig-zag canal, a shrine dedicated to Mother Earth, and the pinkish stone fortress of Puka Pukara.

After returning to your hotel, you will spend the evening at your leisure. As you will be dining on your own, you will receive a dinner certificate for a three-course meal and drink. The "dine around" certificate can be used at several participating restaurants.

DAY 3 - Sunday, February 2nd, 2014

Following breakfast, you will drive to Cusco's train station and board the Vistadome Train, which features large panoramic windows for excellent viewing of the passing landscape.

Upon arriving in Aguas Calientes, you will drive to the ruins of Machu Picchu to explore this famous "Lost City of the Incas." Constructed as a royal retreat for the Inca emperor Pachacuti in the 1400s, Machu Picchu was abandoned less than 100 years later, its population probably devastated by smallpox. Because the Spanish conquistadors never found this hidden city, Bingham discovered it largely intact.

Architectural highlights include the Temple of the Sun, designed much like the one in Cusco, several other temples, hundreds of terraces, and a mysterious carved stone situated on a raised platform that towers above the plaza. The stone may have been used for astronomical observations, but no one knows for certain. The Inca had no written language, so there is no record of Machu Picchu's ultimate purpose. Scholars are still striving to uncover clues as to its mysteries.

After visiting Machu Picchu, you will enjoy a relaxing lunch at the Machu Picchu Sanctuary Lodge Hotel at the site's entrance, and then board the Vistadome Train for a scenic ride back to Cusco. Upon arriving, you will transfer back to the Libertador Palacio del Inka for the evening and dinner on your own.

POST - CUZCO & MACHU PICCHU-ST

Delve into the sacred and mysterious landmarks of the Inca Empire, including famed Machu Picchu, the Lost City of the Incas, and other ancient temples, all precisely constructed without mortar.

DAY 1 - Monday, February 3rd, 2014

Following disembarkation from the ship, you will be transferred as a group to the airport for your flight to Cusco. Upon arrival, transfer and check in at the Libertador Palacio Del Inka Hotel. Lunch is on your own today.

In the afternoon, you will embark on a city tour of Cusco, starting with the sacred site of Koricancha. Here, you will admire the lovely Dominican Convent of Santo Domingo that was built on the foundations of the Temple of the Sun, the most sumptuous temple in the Inca Empire. The curved, mortar-less masonry wall at the west end of the church is considered to be one of the greatest existing examples of Inca stonework.

Continuing on, you will see the splendid Baroque-style Cusco Cathedral, built in the mid-1500s on the foundations of an Inca palace. Many of the stones used in its construction were looted from the nearby Sacsayhuaman fortress, your next stop.

Strategically located on a hill overlooking Cusco, the fortress was constructed without mortar like many other Inca structures. Yet the enormous stones (some weighing 200 tons) of the remaining walls fit so tightly that not even a thin blade of grass can slide between them. The craftsmanship is a stunning example of the Inca's sophisticated construction techniques and architectural skills.

Nearby, you will see other Inca landmarks such as the Temple at Qenquo, named for its zig-zag canal, a shrine dedicated to Mother Earth, and the pinkish stone fortress of Puka Pukara.

After returning to your hotel, you will spend the evening at your leisure. As you will be dining on your own, you will receive a dinner certificate for a three-course meal and drink. The "dine around" certificate can be used at several participating restaurants.

DAY 2 - Tuesday, February 4th, 2014

Following breakfast, you will drive to Cusco's train station and board the Vistadome Train, which features large panoramic windows for excellent viewing of the passing landscape.

Upon arriving in Aguas Calientes, you will drive to the ruins of Machu Picchu to explore this famous "Lost City of the Incas." Constructed as a royal retreat for the Inca emperor Pachacuti in the 1400s, Machu Picchu was abandoned less than 100 years later, its population probably devastated by smallpox. Because the Spanish conquistadors never found this hidden city, Bingham discovered it largely intact.

Architectural highlights include the Temple of the Sun, designed much like the one in Cusco, several other temples, hundreds of terraces, and a mysterious carved stone situated on a raised platform that towers above the plaza. The stone may have been used for astronomical observations, but no one knows for certain. The Inca had no written language, so there is no record of Machu Picchu's ultimate purpose. Scholars are still striving to uncover clues as to its mysteries.

After visiting Machu Picchu, you will enjoy a relaxing lunch at the Machu Picchu Sanctuary Lodge Hotel at the site's entrance, and then board the Vistadome Train for a scenic ride back to Cusco. Upon arriving, you will transfer back to the Libertador Palacio del Inka for the evening and dinner on your own.

DAY 3 - Wednesday, February 5th, 2014

MACHU PICCHU OVERLAND - DL

MACHU PICCHU OVERLAND - DL

Delve into the sacred and mysterious landmarks of the Inca Empire, including famed Machu Picchu, the Lost City of the Incas, and other ancient temples, all precisely constructed without mortar.

DAY 1 - Sunday, February 2nd, 2014

Today in the early afternoon you take a flight from Lima to Cusco, once the capital of the Inca Empire. After arriving in Cusco you will drive to the Sacsayhuaman fortress. Strategically located on a hill overlooking Cusco, the fortress was constructed without mortar like many other Inca structures. Yet the enormous stones (some weighing 200 tons) of the remaining walls fit so tightly that not even a thin blade of grass can slide between them. The craftsmanship is a stunning example of the Inca's sophisticated construction techniques and architectural skills.

After returning to Cusco and checking into the luxurious Monasterio Hotel, you will embark on an evening panoramic tour of Cusco, with a stop in the main plaza. Here, we will have a photo opportunity including the splendid Baroque-style Cusco Cathedral, built in the mid-1500s on the foundations of an Inca palace. Many of the stones used in its construction were looted from nearby Sacsayhuaman.

After returning to the Monasterio, you will spend the evening at your leisure. As you will be dining on your own, you will receive a dinner certificate for a three-course meal and drink. The "dine around" certificate can be used at several participating restaurants.

DAY 2 - Monday, February 3rd, 2014

This morning descend from Cusco into the Sacred Valley. At the train station, you will board the Hiram Bingham the deluxe Orient Express train named after the man who discovered Machu Picchu in 1911. During the 2.45-hour journey, brunch will be served as you take in the spectacular Andean scenery.

Upon arriving in Aguas Calientes, you will drive to the ruins of Machu Picchu to explore this famous "Lost City of the Incas." Constructed as a royal retreat for the Inca emperor Pachacuti in the 1400s, Machu Picchu was abandoned less than 100 years later, its population probably devastated by smallpox. Because the Spanish conquistadors never found this hidden city, Hiram Bingham discovered it largely intact.

Architectural highlights include the Temple of the Sun, designed much like the one in Cusco, several other temples, hundreds of terraces, and a mysterious carved stone situated on a raised platform that towers above the plaza. The stone may have been used for astronomical observations, but no one knows for certain. The Inca had no written language, so there is no record of Machu Picchu's ultimate purpose. Scholars are still striving to uncover clues as to its mysteries. After, we enjoy afternoon tea at the Machu Picchu Sanctuary Lodge.

After visiting Machu Picchu, you will board the Vistadome Train for a scenic ride back towards Cusco. After returning to Cusco and the Monasterio Hotel, you will spend the evening at your leisure. As you will be dining on your own, you will receive a dinner certificate for a three-course meal and drink. The "dine around" certificate can be used at several participating restaurants.

DAY 3 - Tuesday, February 4th, 2014
