Introduce yourself to the world of Machu Picchu through a masterful private lecture, which will immerse you in the fascinating history of the Inca citadel.
Dine with the renowned historian at the Pre-Columbian Art Museum’s luxury restaurant and share an exquisite moment to dig deeper into Peruvian art, culture, and history.
Your experience begins by boarding a luxury train that will take you through the Sacred Valley to Machu Picchu.
Explore the seventh wonder of the world through the eyes of your expert host. Listen to anecdotes about the negotiations of pieces found in this site after their discovery in 1911, or theories about the purpose of this ancient city: was it was a palace, a religious center, a military fortress, or did they all converge in this masterpiece of Inca architecture and engineering?
