High in the cloud forest, the ruins of this former centre of worship and royal retreat sprawl across the landscape, an awesome display of staircases, carved tombs and sacred temples. Natural beauty abounds in the tropical forest setting in the eastern Andes. Get to the "Lost City" via train from Cuzco, or take a multi-day hiking trail if you're feeling adventurous. « less
