Adventure Highlight: “Beyond Machu Picchu” VILCABAMBA EXPEDITION PERU 2011


This was immortal Vilcabamba –
 that legendary city of a thousand history books.
 If ever I succeeded in finding another city it would not matter.
Legend had been turned into history.”
Gene Savoy
Antisuyo: The Search for the Lost Cities of the Amazon, 1970

For over one hundred years, explorers were drawn by legends and rumors to search for a vast city hidden in a remote area between the high walls of the Andes and the jungles of the Amazon Basin.

We will trek into those mysterious ruins as part of an adventure that includes Machu Picchu, the Sacred Valley of the Incas and the wonders of Cuzco, Peru.
