  Toto Tours
invites you on
an adventure that is
out of this world
 
 

Get off on the
right foot with a
tour of the Colonial
city of Lima, Peru

 
  Fly to Cusco  
  Its central square
is surrounded by
classic buildings
 
  The fountain in the
square is a popular
place to hang out
with friends
 
  Enjoy a full-day tour
to the Urubamba Valley,
the Sacred Valley of the Inca
 
  Visit the traditional
Indian Market at
Pisac, then on to
Ollantaytambo . . .
 
  . . . with its terraces
running up a
steep slope
 
  Clamber on the
imposing ruins of
Sacsayhuaman . . .
 
  . . . and among the
walls of the Puca
Pucara fortress
 
  Como se llama?  
  Board the
scenic vista dome
train bound for
Machu Picchu
 
  Get off at Aguas
Calientes, then run
the gauntlet of shops
between the train station
and the place we board
our bus to Machu Picchu
 
  Check in at the
exclusive Sanctuary
Lodge, where we see
our first glimpses of
the fabled Lost City
 
  You will gasp
at your first view
upon entering the site
 
  Climbing higher,
enjoy a breathtaking
overview of one of
the world’s wonders
 
  These are memories
that will stay with you
for a lifetime
 
  The Inca were very
crafty, building their
city on the steep slopes
of a mountain
 
  Walking among the
ruins yields dramatic
vistas at every turn . . .
 
  . . . and occasionally
requires courage to
trust the path as it
descends heart-
stopping drop-offs
 
  Staying at the
Sanctuary Lodge
guarantees you will
have hours of near
solitude at the ruins
 
  Sit for as long
as you want and
ponder the mystery
spread out before you
 
  It is magical when
the only other living
creatures in sight . . .
 
  . . . are the llamas
that live in the area
 
  Rise very early
for the awesome
hike up Huaynu Picchu,
the peak that towers
over the Lost City
 
  You will truly feel
on top of the world
at the summit . . .
 
  . . . and marvel at
the dizzying views
of Machu Picchu
at your feet
 
  Fly to Juliaca,
then transfer to
Puno at lake
Titicaca
 
  Lake Titicaca is
the world’s highest
navigable lake
at 12,421 ft.
above sea level
 
  At Uros,
see some of
the amazing things
they do with the
reeds that grow here
 
  A beautiful example
of a reed boat
 
  Continue to
Taquile Island
 
  See how the
natives have lived
for many centuries
 
  Tour villages and
Incan ruins
 
  Return to Puno
for a second night
at Lake Titicaca,
your final night in
the High Andes
 
  Next stop is the
coastal town
of Paracas,
south of Lima
 
  The national park
is one of the best
marine reserves
in the world
 
  Visit Ballestas Island
to marvel at the
wildlife, then . . .
 
  . . . board a flightseeing
