You're sitting in a puffing narrow-gauge train that meanders slowly along the river. The Panoramic luxury train Vistadome takes you comfortably and stylishly through the wild and romantic Sacred Valley of the Incas. Around you are partly green, partly snow-covered peaks, into which the Urubamba has carved a deep, narrow valley. And then you have reached it: Machu Picchu, the legendary ruined city of the Incas high up in the Andes. Your heart beats faster. At least now you will also feel the heartbeat of this thoroughly lively country. Peru, alive with a millennia-old history. Even today, this story is continued through tales and traditions everywhere: in the streets and alleys of colonial Cusco or Arequipa, in the cloud forests of the east and in the mountains and valleys of the endless Andes. People talk about Cusco, the former capital of the Incas, which its inhabitants called the "navel of the world". Others rave about Lima, the metropolis with a unique flair, in which each district has its own history and special charms. When you return from Peru, you too will have a unique story to tell. Find out which one it is.
