South Amercia Adventure Travel takes you to what must surely be one of the most breathtaking archaeological sites the world over. Found amongst the Andes Mountains, Machu Picchu is arguably South America's top attraction. South America Adventure Travel's Machu Picchu tours will take you to this ancient citadel steeped in mystery and folktale, and promise to leave you awestruck. The site was built around AD1450 by the Incas and is the culmination of the Inca Trail, a path through the Sacred Valley that is surrounded by other ancient ceremonial sites. With a spectacular backdrop of mountains and jungle, Machu Picchu remained hidden from the Spanish conquistadores and escaped damage. Found in the early part of the 20th century by an American archeologist on the hunt for the lost Inca city, Machu Picchu has since become a tourist hot-spot. Discover this ancient citadel with South America Adventure Travel on one of our wide range of Machu Picchu tours.
