The Inca Empire at its most extraordinary — Machu Picchu, Cusco and the best cuisine in South America.
Peru is the most complete travel destination in South America. Machu Picchu is genuinely as extraordinary as its reputation. Cusco is the most beautiful colonial city in the continent. The Sacred Valley contains dozens of Inca sites that most visitors never see. And Peruvian cuisine — ceviche, lomo saltado, causa — is consistently ranked among the world's finest.
