Day 5: Cusco/Machu Picchu
Board the Vistadome train to Machu Picchu, the "Lost City of the Incas," where a late morning arrival gives you time to thoroughly explore this breathtaking Incan citadel. Discovered in a hidden tangle of vines and trees atop the mountain, the city of Machu Picchu will forever hold the secret of its passing - no written record of the Inca survives. Accompanied by your guide, explore the city's ruins and visualize those who inhabited this seemingly uninhabitable citadel.
