Our Peru Travel destination includes tours of Massive stone tombs, terraces and water channels – relics of Peru's ancient civilization – dot the backcountry trail as you travel by Paso Fino to the remote Andean community of Cachiccata. Your mount's gait is smooth, controlled; posting is surprisingly easy. As you slow to a walk, your guide explains that it's believed the Inca never used the wheel in any practical manner which makes you wonder how on earth the stones used to build the ruins could have possibly been moved by hand?
Peru is a country of mysteries – some waiting to be unraveled, many which will remain until the end of time. Stand atop Huayna Picchu surrounded by verdant mountaintops and deep blue sky, the winding Urubamba River and the Lost City of the Inca thousands of feet below. Hike the Inca Trail, a mystical mix of ruins, mountain scenery, lush cloud forest and rich subtropical jungle, and watch the day break over Machu Picchu. Bike back roads past tiny villages, raft the class II and III whitewater of the Urubamba through the Sacred Valley and shop vibrant Indian markets for hand-woven tapestries and blankets. Savor the fine regional cuisine and unwind at the end of the day in the comfort of an exquisite hotel.
