This is a breathtaking trek through some of the most inaccessible valleys and incredible mountain scenery of Peru, beginning and ending with two of the most spectacular and enigmatic Inca sites to have survived the ravages of time and the Spanish conquest: Choquequirao and Machu Picchu. These two elite Inca ceremonial centers, dedicated to the worship of the mountain gods, the natural elements, and two great Andean rivers, inspire us with the vast scale and astounding natural beauty of their surroundings.
