My husband wanted to go on a hike for our honeymoon that ended at Machu Picchu. He picked a 4 day tent option. I googled "luxurious hike to Machu Picchu" and stumbled across the Mountain Lodges of Peru tour. It was amazing.

A variety of scenery and historic things to see. A varied population enhances the joy of the visit. Visits to ruins, interesting cities, and a very beautiful environment are all main parts of the visit.

A lot of the tour buses just do quick highlights of the major spots, but if you've got time to explore at a slower pace and visit some of the lesser known sites, it's well worth it. The valley is beautiful and the history and architecture fascinating.

It is a most beautiful valley, but other than the occasional Inca ruin there is not a great deal to spend you time on. Tour buses will whisk you off to a small town in the centre, which is yet another opportunity to buy more souvenirs.

I'm not a huge history buff but viewing the Inca ruins boggles the mind. This is a Bucket List experience that needs to be seen in person. To try a comprehend how the massive walls were constructed and withstood the test of time is truly incredible.
