Your expert guide will unveil the secrets, engineering brilliance, and spiritual symbolism that make Machu Picchu one of humanity’s greatest achievements.

After your visit, indulge in a gourmet lunch at the Belmond Sanctuary Lodge or a fine restaurant in Aguas Calientes before boarding your return train to the Sacred Valley or Cusco.
