Rajasthan - May 2008
Peru, South America Sept 29 – Oct 6
Everything you’ve ever heard is true; everything you’ve wanted to see and feel is there amongst these ancient majestic ruins.
This is going to be a truly magnificent experience for Sfinx Members and guests.
The poet Pablo Neruda wrote “Machu Picchu is a trip to the serenity of the soul, to the eternal fusion with the cosmos.”
Our adventure will commence in Lima, the city of contrasts on 29 September where we will see one of the largest private collections from the pre-Inca civilizations. We shall fly to the fascinating city of Cuzco, 3310 metres high in the majestic Andes for acclimatization and exploration. It is remarkable for its colonial churches, monasteries (one of which we will stay in) and extensive Inca ruins. Our travel to Machu Picchu will be aboard the luxury train “Hiram Bingham” named after the man who found the lost city in 1911. We will have much of two days here to really absorb the ruins before heading to the Sacred Valley of Urubamba and other fabulous ruins, local markets and towns before returning to Cuzco and Lima.
