High in the cloud forest, the ruins of this former center 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. Access to the "Lost City" is available via train from Cuzco or a multi-day hiking trail if you're feeling adventurous. « less
