Nazca lines overflight: "The lines of Nazca are drawn on the ground, these geoglyphs of the Nazca desert is located on an arid plateau that stretches for about eighty kilometers between the cities of Nazca and Palpa, in southern Peru. There are more than 300 different designs, including the stylized profiles of common animals in the area (the whale, the parrot, the more than 180 meters long lizard, the hummingbird, the condor and the enormous spider about 45 meters long). In total, the geoglyphs are composed of more than 10,000 lines, some of which measure 30 m in width and extend for more than 9 km, so they are clearly visible from the air or from the top of the nearby hills.
The figures: The tree, The wings (or shells), The alligator astronaut, The whale, The dog, The hummingbird, The shells, The condor, The iguana, The blade, The lizard, The hands, The mythological orc, The parrot, The pelican (or alcatraz), The spider, The monkey, The snake, The spiral, The star, Technically the Nazca lines are perfect. The kilometric lines are drawn with very small deflection angles. The drawings are well proportioned, especially if we think about their size. These lines are evidence of a great knowledge of geometry by the ancient inhabitants of this area.

Machu Picchu lay hidden from the world for such a long time because its location is fairly remote and inaccessible. Machu Picchu is located high up on a mountainside. The nearest town is Aguas Calientes which is located down in the valley beside the Vilcanota River. Aguas Calientes is only a couple of kilometres away from Machu Picchu as the crow flies but it takes a bus about 20 minutes to climb the narrow, steep zigzagging dirt track that connects the two. During the train journey you will have the chance to enjoy event seat: Plush seats with tables in the front, landscape: ample windows to admire the stunning countryside, audiotrack: relaxing background music, local drink: Irresistible selection of hot and cold drinks prepared using fresh local fruits and herbs.

Machu Picchu Every morning before sunrise, the high priest with a small group would walk to Machu Picchu to signal the coming of the new day. The Temple of the Moon , one of the three major temples in the Machu Picchu area, is nestled on the side of the mountain and is situated at an elevation lower than Machu Picchu. Adjacent to the Temple of the Moon is the Great Cavern, another sacred temple with fine masonry. The other major local temples in Machu Picchu are the Temple of the Condor, Temple of Three Windows, Principal Temple,"Unfinished Temple", and the Temple of the Sun, also called the Torreon. Then we'll participate in a guided tour of the Citadel, visiting the Main Plaza, the Circular Tower, The Sacred Sun Dial the Royal Quarters, the Temple of the Three Windows and various burial grounds.
The Sun Gates of Machu Picchu boast a picture - perfect vantage point overlooking Peru'smost famous ruins. Tourists flock to this outcrop high in the Andes Mountains to enjoy the same view featured on virtually every postcard depicting the Machu Picchu citadel. Also known as Inti Punku, the Sun Gates consist of two stones perched at a narrow passage in the crevice of the mountain just above Machu Picchu. The sun shines brilliantly through this portal each day when it rises - hence the name, overnight in Machu Picchu town.
