Day One: Arrive Lima Start
your adventure into the Land of the
Incas. Transfer to the deluxe Casa
Andina Private Collection.
Day
Two: In Lima Familiarize yourself with
Lima on this half-day tour of the colonial highlights, followed by lunch
and a visit to the Archaeological
Museum for a chronological presentation
of the many civilizations that flourished in Peru. Displays include important

You
will be met upon arrival to commence your tour into the scenic Urubamba
Valley. The valley, also known as the
Sacred Valley of the Incas,
is at a much more comfortable altitude of 8,500 feet, and you will immediately
feel the difference. If you arrive Tuesday, Thursday, or Sunday, you will
stop at Pisac for a colorful Indian market. Stalls overflow with weavings,
handicrafts and pottery, enticing everyone to bargain! Later, climb the
ruins at Ollantaitambo, another sacred site which the Incas fiercely defended
from the Spaniards. Overnight at the deluxe Casa
Andina Private Collection. (B, L)
