Description
The arrival of the Spanish Conquistadors in Peru led to the mass extermination of the Incas in the mid-1500’s. Cuzco, a short flight from Lima, was their capital and it still thrives today. Machu Picchu, located deep in the jungle, was never seen by the Spaniards and lay undiscovered until 1911. The only ways to get to this mysterious sacred site are on an old train or the four-day hike on the Inca Trail. Learn about this fascinating culture and the plight of the Incas.
