Susan Drew, owner of Sangha Tours since 1989, will lead her 16^th Peru Trip this September. After a short flight (MIA-LIM), the deluxe tour begins in Lima. “Two days later, flying through Cusco, the group heads to Peru's beautiful Sacred Valley - staying at a lovely hotel, complete with lush gardens and a colonial church,” says Drew. “The Sacred Valley, along the Urubamba River, is lower in altitude for easy acclimatization. After seeing the valley's Inca sites, the group takes the train to Machu Picchu to explore the magical city of the Incas.” Overnighting at a luxury eco-lodge, there are two days to explore Machu Picchu. Then the group returns to Cusco by train, staying for two nights to see the city and its sights. “If time allows, consider an add-on trip to Peru's Rainforest,” suggests Drew. “After a quick flight and a thatched boat ride, the group arrives at a luxury eco-lodge, complete with lovely cabanas, to explore the ever dwindling rainforest.” An Easter Island mini-tour is offered too.
