From Cuzco, the former capital and holy city of the Incan empire, visit the Kornicancha and Saycsahuaman temples, the ruins of Tambomachay, and Puka Pukara fortress. Journey to Ollantaytambo fortress, where giant monoliths crown a grand staircase, and the traditional Andean Indian village of Chinchero, with its colorful local market. Enjoy a spectacular rail journey from Cuzco to the beautiful city of Puno on the shore of Lake Titicaca. Cruise on the lake to the Floating Island of Los Uros. Another wonderful rail journey will take you to the fabulous ruins at Machu Picchu.
