- CUSCO AND MACHUPICCHU

Are at the center of most Peruvian travel itineraries. PERU TOURS MACHUPICCHU offers you three different program packages plus six optional half-day extensions in this, one of the most delightful settings on earth.

Machu Picchu history has been the subject of much speculation. It has been called a religious center, an astronomical observatory, a fortress, and the private retreat of the Inca.

Most modern archaeologists and historians agree that it was built by Pachacútec, the mid-15th century Inca ruler. Never discovered by the Spanish, Machu Picchu history was lost for 400 years before it was rediscovered by Hiram Bingham in 1911.
