DESCRIPTION:Peru Adventure with Machu Picchu\,\\n\\n\\n\\nCusco\\n\\n\\n\\nand Lake Titicaca\\n\\n\\n\\nOctober 5th - 14thhttp://photos3.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/3/5/f/4/event_107413812.jpeg\\n\\n\\n\\nThis will be our 4th Peru trip with Machu Picchu and our 2nd time to Lake Titicaca.\\n\\n\\n\\nMachu Picchu\, called the Lost City of the Incas\, is of on most people's list of places to see but you will also love our other two destinations.\\n\\n\\n\\nWe land in Lima\, Peru and spend one night before departing for Cusco\, the center of the Incan world. We’ll tour the city and ruins including the Temple of the Sacred Water and we’ll even have an opportunity to mountain bike through the Sacred Valley (see itinerary below).\\n\\n\\n\\nAfter 2-nights we will then take the Inca Express train through the unforgettable Urubamba Gorge for our 2-night visit to Machu Picchu where we can trek through the final stretch of the Inca Trail.\\n\\n\\n\\nhttp://photos3.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/3/5/8/6/event_107413702.jpeg\\n\\n\\n\\nThere are really no words to explain Machu Picchu adequately except to say it is majestic and magical. With surreal clouds that hang from the surrounding mountains it appears as if these sacred ruins are leaping out from a fantasy. It is one of my favorite places destinations on earth. If you are not up for the approximate 5-6 hour and very steep hike to the Sun Gate\, you will stay on the train and can visit the next day.\\n\\n\\n\\nhttp://photos4.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/3/4/b/4/event_107413492.jpegFrom there we’ll spend one more night in Cusco and then take a bus to Puno and the shores of Lake Titicaca\, the highest navigable lake in the world. We’ll enjoy the incredible view of the herds of alpaca and llamas grazing on these highland pampas\, interspersed with small villages\, and the majestic backdrop of the Andes. Here\, indigenous culture is at its height despite modernization of the rest of the Andes.\\n\\n\\n\\nhttp://photos1.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/3/1/9/4/event_107412692.jpegThe Uros Islands are divided into 35 floating islands with about 1000 habitants divided into 250 families. In the 13th century the Uros Indians took refuge in the middle of the lake’s water in order to escape slavery and fighting with the Incas. We’ll even have an opportunity to stay with the locals (an experience you will never forget). Then we’ll visit to the famous pre-inca tombs of Sillustani on the way\, located on the shores of the solitary Umayo Lagoon\, these tombs or “Chullpas” with circular shaped towers were a cemetery for the religious leaders of Tiawanacu Culture almost 2000 years ago. We’ll head back to Lima\, spend the night\, and depart on Sunday the 14th.http://photos3.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/3/2/5/c/event_107412892.jpeg\\n\\n\\n\\nCost: 10 DAYS\, 8 NIGHTS - $2\,179\\n\\n\\n\\nINCLUDES:\\n\\n\\n\\nRound trip international air from LAX (deduct $584 with your own air) 10-nights accommodations (double occ.)

From Chachabamba the Inca Trail climbs the hillside\, entering some woods and crossing a small stream. After about 2 hours after leaving Chachabamba\, the path at last descends into a nice Valley where it becomes a canyon and the cloud forest begins to appear. (Lunch time) After lunch we continue and we'll reach a beautiful waterfall\, and soon after leave the forest to arrive at the foot of the superb ruins of Wiñay Wayna. You will climb up stairway and pass through the urban area of the terraces and many stone buildings passing a series of Inca baths.
