Delve deep into history as the drama of Spain's conquest of the Inca empire is played out in front of your eyes as this tour progresses.
The desolation of the high plateau in the Andes contrasts starkly with the extraordinary riches of three of Peru's great colonial cities, while the splendour of Inca engineering bears testament to the skill and ingenuity that once held a great swathe of South America under control.
