Travel via panoramic train through dramatic mountain scenery, discover ancient palaces, temples, and plazas with a local expert guide, and return to your hotel the same day.

The citadel lies in a step high ridge, surrounded by mountains and the Urubamba river. Scholars are still trying to uncover the mysteries of “the Lost City of the Incas”.
