TRIP LEADER:        Amy McClurg        407.595.5627     AmyMcClurgOSC@gmail.com

Marvel at ancient wonders and modern culture during this once in a lifetime trip. Check Machu Picchu off your bucket list!  Immerse yourself in Peru!

Lima

Along the Pacific coast of Peru lies Lima, a cosmopolitan capital city and anachronistic melting pot of Spanish Colonial architecture built directly over ancient Incan foundations. We’ll discover some of the country’s best museums, churches, historic plazas and bustling shopping areas—including a private tour of the famously yellow Baroque Church of San Francisco.  We’ll also visit the Archaeological Museum, which offers an overview of Peru’s fascinating history, from its superb array of Incan artifacts to impressive collections of ceramics, gold, and textiles.

Machu Picchu  

Never found by the Spanish conquistadors, Machu Picchu was known only to local people until Yale professor Hiram Bingham was led to the ruins in 1911 and described it for the world in his book The Lost City of the Incas. Located on a mountaintop 8,000 feet above sea level   in the Peruvian Andes, the city was built with residential, military, and religious areas. Our small group will visit the spectacular ruins twice, allowing us for a deeper exploration of the site after the crowds are gone. We’ll witness the Intihuatana (a sundial-like megalith), the Temple of the Sun, and the Room of the Three Windows in Machu Picchu’s Sacred District.

Cuzco & the Sacred Valley

With an elevation of 10,900 feet, Cuzco is literally (and figuratively) breathtaking. The Inca called it the “navel of the world,” as it was the center of their universe and the premiere city in their culture. The ancients may be gone now, but they left behind an abundance of remarkable ruins in the towering Andean peaks and deep within Sacred Valley. We’ll discover Cuzco’s ancient sites, explore modern Andean culture with a visit to Chinchero, a weaving village high in the mountains, as well as take a rafting trip the Urubama River and a train ride through the Sacred Valley.
