This spectacular new tour celebrates the recent inclusion of three Latin American sites, Machu Picchu, Chichen Itza and the
statue of Christ the Redeemer, into the New Seven Wonders of the World. Here is an opportunity to combine all three in
one unforgettable journey of a lifetime, incorporating Peru, Mexico and Brazil.
Start by flying to Rio de Janeiro for three nights to enjoy the
"cidade maravilhosa", including a private tour to the Corcovado Mountain to see the Christ the Redeemer statue.
Then continue to Peru, where you will have five nights in the Cuzco area to explore magnificent
Inca monuments and colonial architecture. The highlight will be a visit to the ancient
Inca citadel of Machu Picchu, reached by a wonderfully scenic train journey.
After Peru, fly to Mexico City for two nights including a city tour and visit to the
pre-Aztec pyramid of Teotihuacan. The tour concludes on the dazzling white sands of the Riviera Maya for some
relaxation and, of course, a visit to the Mayan city of Chichen Itza.
You can choose your accommodation from either first-class hotels or upgrade to luxury heritage properties if you prefer.
Highlights: Rio de Janeiro, Cuzco, Machu Picchu, Sacred Valley, Mexico City, Riviera Maya, Chichen Itza.
