A constellation of ten elements that will make this trip a wonder

Cusco's Corpus Christi and Inti Raymi,
together for the first time in 68 years

Two of Cusco's most visually compelling festivals on adjacent days; the colourful pagaentry of Corpus Christi and echoes of Inca rituals at Inti Raymi. Corpus Christi is the most important religious festival in Peru and has been celebrated uninterruptedly since 1547, while Inti Raymi is an impressive historical reconstruction of the Inca religious ceremony held every winter solstice in honour of Inti, or "Sun God". Don't miss this rare opportunity to see both festivals side by side.

Corpus Christi
Machu Picchu

centenary of it's scientific discovery

A century since the scientific discovery of Machu Picchu, two guided visits of the ruins with insight into how its complex architecture reflects the surrounding mountains and the skies above.

La Luna with a leading archaeologist
