2011 marks a century since Hiram Bingham first stumbled across Machu Picchu and Aracari is celebrating! After bearing the brunt of the ruin's temporary closure earlier in 2010, we feel there is no better time to showcase the spectacular Inca site than now. We have put together two very special escorted trips for the occasion, both of which give our guests the privelaged opportunity to gain from the experience and insight of two very knowledgeable protagonists. Well, if we're going to celebrate, we would be as well do it in style!
Have a wonderful 2011.
