By Linda Ruiz


If you are wondering how you can visit two of the wonders of the world in pone trip the South America could have the answer. Machu Picchu Iguazu Falls tours include the magical Inca citadel and one of the natural wonders of the world. Peru and Argentina are countries full of natural beauty, cultural variety, adventure opportunities and culinary experiences. A visit to either would be a holiday of a lifetime but now you can see both in one trip.

Machu Picchu is on the bucket list of many of us. The ancient Inca citadel is the stuff of legend and is still puzzling scholars and visitors with its mysterious structures. Nobody knows exactly why it was built and what it was used for so a guided trip is a fantastic mystery tour. Archaeological work is carried out all the time so new ideas and new findings are constantly enriching the story.

A trip to the Inca heartland will start in Cusco, the old capital. These days it is renowned for its unique atmosphere where the traditional meets the modern. The Quechua people are the descendants of the Incas and their culture is in evidence with ornate textiles and colorful parades. Next to these you will find high quality restaurants and modern hotels.

From Cusco tourists take a train down the Sacred Valley to Aguas Calientes, the nearest town to the Inca site. In just a few hours the scenery changes from glacier capped mountains to humid cloud forest full of orchids and hummingbirds. It is possible to stay in the town and experience the beautiful forest and thermal hot springs or just visit for the day.

From Peru it is possible to travel overland or by air to Argentina to see Iguazu Falls, a truly breathtaking place. The falls are situated on the border with Brazil in an area of amazing natural beauty. There are nearly three hundred waterfalls of various sizes which make up Iguazu. They can be viewed from walkways and viewing platforms and also by boat.

The forest around the river is rich with wildlife, plants and trees. Toucans can be seen in the trees and you will have to watch out the playful coati don't steal your lunch. The forest has several kilometers of well made trails to enjoy so it is easy to spend a couple of days exploring the area.

Getting to these top tourist attractions is quite easy these days. There are quality buses and trains and the quality of accommodation in South America has improved immensely in recent years. There is no need to expect lower standards than anywhere else.

Organised trips are a great way to see everything you want without the hassle. Having an experienced guide will make your trip smoother and more interesting. They know all the best places and the shortcuts and tricks that will make your holiday truly memorable. Visiting both Argentina and Peru in one trip can be simple and problem free.
