You’ll explore the ancient city of Cusco and spend a day at famous Machu Picchu during this 5-day trip to Peru from go-today. The vacation includes:

• Round-trip airfare from Miami or New York on LAN airlines
• 4 nights of accommodations at Hotel San Francisco, Hotel El Puma, or similar in Cusco

Cusco: Your Home Base

Cusco—a former Incan capital in the Andes Mountains—contains numerous treasures of Peruvian history, with Incan ruins, Spanish colonial churches, and several art museums. But the town has its modern-day charms, too; especially notable is a thriving culinary scene centered on bustling markets and unbeatable gourmet coffee.

• Shop till you drop on Plaza de Armas, where local artisans sell handicrafts and textiles.
• Don’t miss a chance to see the Temple of the Sun (also known as Qorikancha), once the Incas’ most important religious site. Legend has it that the structure was once covered in gold and filled with priceless statues. Spanish colonists destroyed much of the original temple, erecting a church in its place.
• Catedral del Cuzco o Catedral Basilica de la Virgen de la Asuncion: Long name, longer history. This 16th-century cathedral is shaped like a Latin cross and features a stunning silver altar and more than 400 priceless works of art inside. Savor the memories—you can’t take photos once you go in. 
• Where you’ll stay: Hotel San Francisco, Hotel El Puma, or a similar hotel

Day Trip to Machu Picchu

From Cusco, you’ll take a day trip to Machu Picchu. Train tickets, entrance fees, and bus transportation are included, and you’ll have a local guide to help you explore the wonders of this “lost city of the Incas.” Machu Picchu was hidden in the mist-veiled mountains above the Sacred Valley for some 400 years before explorer Hiram Bingham rediscovered it in 1911. Today, the once-forgotten citadel is arguably one of South America’s best known attractions—Fodor’s calls it “one of the world’s must-see destinations.”

• Mysterious origins: With its high-quality ornamental stonework and 50 burial sites, Machu Picchu is believed to have been a ceremonial center of some kind, but its exact purpose remains unknown.
• Enjoy the view: The 12-acre kingdom, a UNESCO World Heritage site, overlooks the Urubamba River from an 8,000-foot perch in the Andes Mountains.
• Inti Watana stone: One of many ritual stones, this is believed to be an astronomic clock—it points directly at the sun during the winter solstice.
