If you have always dreamt about taking a trip to exotic destinations for your vacation, then you should consider going for Peruvian vacations. The Amazon is a vast rainforest that not only occupies part of Brazil, but also Bolivia, Ecuador, Colombia, Venezuela, Guyana and Peru. The Peruvian Amazon offers some of the most captivating and scenic tourist destinations for nature trails enthusiasts. Every year, many tourists go on Peru tours to explore various sites along the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu, especially after the construction of Old Peak by Hiram Bingham in 1911.
Located 2430 meters above the sea level, Machu Picchu stands high overlooking the alluring Urubamba River through the Andes Mountains. The Incas constructed this estate around 1450 AD near the town of Aguas Calientes.
The Peru tours to Machu Picchu are just as enthralling as seeing the ruins themselves. To get to the mountains, you can take any one of five main routes. The time you take to arrive at Machu Picchu and the difficulty of the trip will depend on which trail you take. You require a permit to trek the old Inca trail, which is a four-day journey up and down steps built by Incas hundreds of years ago. Peruvian vacations are unlike any other as they give you a thrilling and unique experience hiking through the terrain with the help of experienced professional guides.
The Salkantay trail, which gives you a close up view of the Saint Teresa hot springs, and the Lares Valley trail ( an adventurous journey through the mountains and past a few Inca villages and homes) are some the breathtaking trips offered by Peru tours. The least expensive trail is the jungle trek, which is designed for tourists who want to make their way up the rocky pass on a mountain bike. Other options include hiking or going up by cable car and putting up in hostels along the way. Luxurious Peruvian locations include trips through tourist towns surrounding the mountains, accommodation in hotels overnight. You can then trek up the mountain for two hours and enjoy a days activities at Machu Picchu.
Once you brave the hike up the mountain, the guides take you on a tour through the mystical and ancient Cusco streets where contemporary Incan culture fuses with ghosts of history. Machu Picchu tours offer great views that you will never forget. You also get to enjoy the exotic cuisine, such as mate de coca (coca infusion tea) unique to the Cusco region. Machu Picchu vacations include a visit to the San Blas neighborhood that features Incan artisans and a church adorned with intricate carved woodwork.
The Sacred Valley tour features activities such as Urubamba River Rafting and mountain biking. The Urubamba River has beautiful, picturesque scenery of exotic Amazonian flora. Inca Trails tours also offer mountain biking, which is another great way of exploring the magnificent surroundings of the Incas Sacred Valley.
If you are planning to take your family on a vacation they will never forget, Machu Picchu is your best option.
