We recently got back from a small group tour to Peru. The Traveling Professor has been bringing his small group tours to Peru for almost 8 years now and this was our 20th trip. It included Cusco, Machu Picchu, and the Amazon jungle. We made the tour with 15 travelers from all over the United States. In this blog post, The Traveling Professor will tell you about our accommodations, the outstanding food, and what was on our very exciting itinerary. Check out the blog post for our small group tour to Peru trip review.
A tour to Peru and Machu Picchu takes a lot of planning. It is an adventure that travelers usually only do once in their lifetimes, so let's make sure a trip to Machu Picchu is done the right way. Go the right time of year, stay in the best hotels in Machu Picchu, make sure to see everything to be seen in Machu Picchu. In this blog post, The Traveling Professor, Steve Solosky gives his top ten pieces of advice for visiting Machu Picchu.
The highlight of any tour to Peru is a visit to Machu Picchu. The town at the base of Machu Picchu is actually called Aguas Calientes, so any trip to Machu Picchu will involve getting to Aguas Calientes. There are no roads to Aguas Calientes, so the only way to get there is to walk or take the train. The Traveling Professor has been taking small groups to Peru for about 4 years now, so here is some advice on taking the train to Machu Picchu.
On our small group tours to Peru and Machu Picchu, we stay in modern, full-service hotels that have all the amenities you would expect in a US-based hotel. Many people I meet (incorrectly) perceive Peru as being a "third-world" country with sub-par accommodations. However, those who have traveled on one of The Traveling Professor's small group tours to Peru and Machu Picchu wil tell you, the hotels we stay in are first-rate, and are still bargains and superior quality to those found in Europe.
The words "amazing", "unbelievable", and "wonderful" are overused these days. But not when it comes to viewing the mystical Inca city of Machu Picchu. Quite literally, there is nothing like it in the world. On our small group tour to Peru, we spend 3 days at Machu Picchu to give it the time that it deserves to soak in the beauty and splendor of this amazing place.
