MACHU PICCHU & OTHER LATIN WONDERS
You approach a clearing along a solid dirt and
slate-stone trail, jungle brush giving way to fortified
hillside. As with all of life’s great moments, the
anticipation welling up within you is well-earned.
Getting to Machu Picchu doesn’t just happen —
you’ve committed yourself to this once-in-a-lifetime
experience. And here you are. And there it is.
Laid out before you, the mist-shrouded, sprawling,
15th-century citadel lost for centuries, a phenomenal
human achievement that continues to baffle Inca
scholars. You’ve read so many accounts of this
moment from travellers who’ve claimed the stunning
ruins must be seen to be believed. And now, your
whole heart agrees.
After the obligatory Machu Picchu selfies,
South America beckons with multiple wonders.
Discover the opportunity to encounter the nearly
61m high wall of blue ice awaiting in Laguna San
Rafael, views of Rio de Janeiro’s Christ the Redeemer
statue, tango lessons in Buenos Aires, and more.
