A bucket-list journey to one of the New Seven Wonders, Peru delivers Inca history, Andean landscapes and the unforgettable Machu Picchu.
The route
Acclimatise in the old Inca capital of Cusco, explore the terraces and markets of the Sacred Valley, then take the scenic train to the lost city itself.
