Day 2 Friday Lima / Ica
We take the famed Ormeño Royal Class bus for a picturesque drive along the coast. If you thought Mel Gibson's movie "SIGNS" was merely science fiction - strange etchings in wheat fields was science fiction -- wait until we fly over the mysterious Nasca Lines for an aerial view of the mysterious, eerie drawings of animals, geometric figures and birds scratched onto the arid crust of the desert more than 1000 years ago.

Watch them fight for survival with colonies of frisky sea lions. More mysterious faces await you - the etched in the desert sand variety -- on our way back to Lima in the Candlestick.Bus.

Day 8 Thursday Cusco / Machu Picchu
Early morning departure for what is called "the world's most picturesque train ride" through the Andes to Machu Pichu. The very name, "Machu Pichu" conjures up mystery and wonder. An entire Inca city, where all its walls, alleys, stairs survive not only intact, but it survives perched on a mountain top in the clouds, piercing the heavens. How did the Incas build on such heights? And how did it elude the Conquistadors and the rest of the world until it was discovered in 1911 by the American explorer Hiram Bingham?

Your worked-up appetite is satisfied at lunch at the beautiful Sanctuary Lodge. Overnight in Aguas Calientes. (B/L)
