Spanish colonial buildings, and remnants of colonial mansions with
lavish, Moorish-style balconies. On your sightseeing tour, you’ll see
many of its famous sights, including the San Francisco Monastery. High
in the Andes Mountains, Cusco is the oldest continuously inhabited city
in South America and is sure to please history buffs. Learn about the
Incas’ struggles with the invading Spaniards on your tour of Cusco and

Picchu is located in a gorgeous mountain setting above the Urubamba
Valley. Stand in awe as you witness it. It is one of the most majestic
images in South America, if not the world!

Sacsayhuaman, which was built in the early 12th century. Some of the
stones used to build the fortress weigh more than 350 tons, and the
stones were fit so tightly together that a piece of paper will not fit
between the stones. Try to figure out how it was built without the help
of modern technology and machinery! While at the ruins, experience a
Mother Earth ceremony by a local shaman to thank Mother Earth and to
ask for good health and safe travels.
Of course, no trip to Peru is complete without seeing the Nazca Lines.
When seen from the air, the lines form precise geometric shapes that
number in the hundreds, as well as 70 figures, which include a monkey,
whale, hummingbird, shark, spiders, and plants. Archaeologists remain
puzzled about why the ancient Nazca people, who thrived here from 200
BC to 500 AD, created illustrations that could only be seen from far
above the earth.
These are just some of the many highlights you’ll see on this wonderful
Peru vacation. For travelers ready for a new adventure, this tour is
