Gay Peru

Lima, Cusco, the Sacred Valley, and Machu Picchu
November 20 - 27, 2010

8 days from $4699

Named by Out Traveler magazine as one of the Top 10 Trips to Change Your Life!

For thousands of years, Peru's extraordinary beauty has been both the backdrop of incredible cultural and spiritual expression, and a pallet for architectural artists.

Your journey will take you through the cultural heart of Lima, charming Cusco, and the Valley of the Incas (all world heritage sights). But perhaps what will impress and inspire you most is your visit to one of the world's most important archeological sights: the ancient mystical city of Machu Picchu.

Many visitors to Machu Picchu report a strange energy they felt, walking among the ruins. Perhaps it's simply the beauty of the Inca's mass stone structures set atop high mountains over the winding Urubamba River below. Or, perhaps it is the leftover blessings of an ancient Inca Priest.  Whatever it may be, nothing can truly prepare oneself for the "magic" of Machu Picchu.
