Completed in approximately 1450, at the height of the Incan empire, Macchu Picchu was abandoned less than 100 years later following the Spanish conquest of Peru. Today it is considered by many to be the new spiritual center of the world. After a short drive to the Cusco railway station, we’ll take the Orient Express to Aguas Calientes Station.
