Peru Land of Adventure

By Brian Morgan

A Peru tour isn't exactly the first choice that families think of when planning a vacation. Yet, for inquisitive families, the land of the Incas offers a wonderful variety of things to do and a chance for families to learn and discover new things together. It may seem clichéd, but a two week long trip to Peru is like living inside the pages of National Geographic. Families can paddle dugout canoes in the Amazon, trek along ancient Inca highways in sight of glacier covered mountains, and spend a night with farm families in the Andean highlands who still live the lifestyle of a bygone era. <<more>>

Train Transport from Cusco to Machu Picchu

By Charlotte De Patre

There are two basic options for travelling from Cusco to Machu Picchu. First, you have the Inca Trail, which usually takes 3 days of hard trekking through a beautiful yet strenuous landscape. Second, you can take the train. Ok, you can also reach the Inca citadel by helicopter, but only the few can afford it –besides, you’ll miss the beautiful Andean scenery that comes with the journey.

Train transport to Machu Picchu is indeed the best alternative for the trekking-adverse: not better nor worse, just different. Still charming and attractive, yet much more comfortable.<<more>>
