As a destination, the country is rich with sights, sounds, culinary delights and extraordinary culture. The care and accommodation provided by Austin-Lehman was faultless. Atmospheric, top of the line hotels, great food and attention to detail and service throughout. I could not recommend this trip more highly!"

Peru: Land of the Inca
From the Rapids of the Urubamba to the mystical mountains of Machu Picchu: Peru's Land of the Inca
A rich tapestry of history, mystery, culture and natural beauty, Peru is a land begging to be explored. Ponder the ways of the Inca, who, with meticulous attention, built an entire stone empire by hand…and who, without a written language, never left any form of documentation. Stroll the cobblestone streets of Cusco, the Inca Empire's capital and oldest continuously inhabited city in the Western Hemisphere. Stand atop Huayna Picchu surrounded by verdant mountaintops and deep blue sky, the winding Urubamba River and the Lost City of the Inca 1,000 feet below.
Hike the Inca Trail, a mystical mix of ruins, mountain scenery, lush cloud forest and rich subtropical jungle, and watch the day break over Machu Picchu. Ride Paso Finos to the remote Andean community of Cachiccata and bike back roads past tiny villages. Raft class II & III rapids through the Sacred Valley and shop vibrant Indian markets for hand-woven tapestries and blankets. By night, savor Peru's fine regional cuisine before unwinding at the end of the day in the comfort of an exquisite hotel.
