Description
Make sure your passport is up to date as you get ready to experience this once-in-a-lifetime trip to Peru, a country of wonders. With dazzling temples, ancient cities, and access to famed Inca ruins, your visit to Cusco's imperial city—on UNESCO’s World Heritage list—is sure to enchant you.
The hotel Posada Villamayor, located at the heart of Cusco’s historical downtown, will welcome your family with warm hospitality. Two double rooms in the 17th century colonial-style mansion will let you experience the history of the city, with comfortable modern updates. Explore the city streets, where Cusco’s history will come alive. Visit Saqsaywaman, Tipon and the iconic Machu Picchu for some stunning examples of Incan engineering. The Sacred Valley, Plaza de Armas, and Cusco cathedral are just a few of the treasures you’ll discover on this unforgettable experience for the entire family.
Choose to spend one night in the rural village of Paucartambo, situated at the entrance to the Amazon. Hear Quechua spoken in the streets and leave the city pace behind as you seem to travel back in time. Plan your visit in July to experience a famous Andean festival, La Fiesta de la Virgen del Carmen, with celebrations lasting 4 full days! Thousands of visitors from around the world gather to watch dancers performing contradanza line dance, see the elaborate costumes and masks, and of course join the living theater!
You will be well taken care of as EB parents Jose Luis Villasante and Marie-Elise Sallat help you plan the perfect trip. Don’t miss this unique opportunity to visit an extraordinary place!
