Today you’ll experience one of the highlights of your tour—a journey aboard the Explorer train through the stunning Urubamba River gorge to the legendary Machu Picchu. As we descend, the scenery shifts from semiarid brush to lush rainforest. Your first glimpse of the ‘Lost City of the Incas’ is breathtaking, leaving an unforgettable impression. Rediscovered in 1910 by Hiram Bingham, Machu Picchu’s history and beauty are awe-inspiring. We return by train to the Sacred Valley and drive to Cusco.
