Visit Inca remains at Tambomachay, Kenko, Puca-Pucara, and Sacsayhuaman. Journey to Machu Picchu and take a guided tour through "The Lost City of the Incas." Canoe down the Madre De Dios River and picnic at the Manu Wildlife Center. Travel to Manu for forest trail hikes and complete your journey with a flight over the mysterious Nazca Lines.
