Cruising — Visit Machu Picchu

One of the most popular destinations on South American cruises is Machu Picchu, the "lost city of the Incas," dating from around 1450. It was recently designated one of the new seven wonders of the world.

The port of call is Callao. From there you will travel to Lima, hop a quick flight to Cusco, take a train to Agua Calientes, and finally hike or drive to Machu Picchu.
