Many people visit Peru to see the impressive Incan ruins on Machu Picchu tours, which are deservedly a stand-alone destination. But, when visiting Machu Picchu, make sure to set aside time to discover Cuzco and the Sacred Valley. Meet the locals and tour other nearby Incan ruins and museums to learn about the famous Inca Empire. In the Sacred Valley, visit the open-air Pisac Market and purchase some of the colorful textiles, authentic alpaca sweaters,watercolorpaintingsand other fun souvenirs. If time permits, spend the night in the town of Ollantaytambo, a town that has been around since the Incan empire. From Ollantaytambo take the train to Aguas Calientes, the final town before Machu Picchu. If you planned on hiking the Inca trail, you would start your trek in Ollantaytambo. 

Aside from Machu Picchu Tours, there are plenty of other excellent destinations in Peru, including, the Amazon rainforest. Combine Machu Picchu and the Amazon with a quick flight from Cuzco to Puerto Maldonaldo. Choose between an Amazon River Cruise or staying at an Amazon Lodge. Both options provide you with ample opportunities to discover the Peruvian Amazon. During your time, your local Peru guide will take you on daily excursions in search of wildlife including the caiman, macaws, monkeys, the sloth, capybaras, toucans and possibly the jaguar.

A Peruvian Amazon Tour is both affordable and practical when you combine it with Machu Picchu.
