Tourists will travel through several cities including Lima, where they will visit the “City of Kings” and renowned gold museum; Colco, for a tour of the Blanca National Reserve and the Colca Canyon; and Cuzco, to explore the Plaza Del Regocijo, Plaza De Arma, and Santo Domingo Monastery. The adventure also includes a tour of ancient ruins at Urbamba, the sacred valley of the Incas, and “The Lost City of the Incas.”

Along the way travelers will have a chance to experience Peru’s exotic wildlife on a three-day “jungle adventure” at the Manu Wildlife Center.
