Wander the Wonders of the World in Luxury

Without a doubt, Machu Picchu is among man's most awe-inspiring wonders, and the Machu Picchu Sanctuary Lodge (pictured above) sits just outside the gates of this Inca citadel.

It offers its guests the opportunity to explore this great site late in the evening and early in the day; this sacred place of ancient stones is illuminated by spectacular sunrises and mystical moonlit nights. Sit out on the terrace and savor Peruvian cuisine based on produce grown on the Lodge's own plot. This delightful hideaway is the perfect place to relax and unwind in the shadow of the Lost City.
