After visiting the village, optional short hike to the ruins above
the town. Here, you will see some fantastic Inca remains,
including ritual baths fed by aqueducts and one of the largest
known Inca cemeteries. The precision with which the relatively

here is even more awesome than that of the more famous ruins
in Machu Picchu.

This morning you may rise early and enjoy the prospects of a
walk through Machu Picchu at sunrise, something which people
of strong spirituality believe to be the highlight of a visit to
Machu Picchu.
Today you will have the option to do one or two of these hikes:
Huayna Picchu, one of the highlights of a visit to Machu Picchu.
The views of the Citadel and surrounding landscape are
extraordinary from the top and well worth the climbing effort.
Inti Punku or Sun Gate, it takes about an hour each way and is
an uphill strenuous hike on the way out to the Gate.
Inca Bridge, constructed of a few narrow logs perched above a
sheer vertical drop – is believed to have served as a secret
entrance to Machu Picchu.
Machu Picchu Mountain, large granite steps comprise most of
its trail and wind all the way to the top. The steep climb is a
challenging but rewarding hike and the 360-degree views at the
top are a gorgeous reward.

a major repository of Cusco's colonial art, It also holds
many archeological artifacts and relics; and the Koricancha
Temple, the most impressive example of how Inca and Hispanic
cultures fused together. The remains of the ancient Peruvians'
Sun Temple were used as foundations on which the Santo
Domingo church and convent was built. The temple is a symbol
of Western dominance. The site is a living example of the co-
existence of Peru's past with European architecture.

Totora, or junco reed roots, serve as unique building material
for the floating islands of the Uros Titino communities of Lake
Titicaca.
The Islands of Lake Titicaca excursion brings our guests close to
the islands’ Uro-Aymara communities, providing a unique
opportunity to grow personally acquainted with the men –
skilled reed raftsmen–, and women, - expert weavers famous
for their craft–, as well as the ancestral techniques used to keep
their islands afloat, among other aspects of their remarkable
heritage. In Taquile, for example, guests will experience the
Quechua imagination in the textile weavings unique to the area
and recently included in UNESCO’s Masterpieces of the Oral and
Intangible Heritage of Humanity.

Puno’s deep blue skies mirrored across Lake Titicaca with views
