Gate 1 Travel: Peru

Why You'll Love It

Machu Picchu was discovered by the outside world in 1911, which means it never had a chance at the original Seven Wonders of the World. Lucky there was a revote. Visit this New Wonder of the World, and many other UNESCO World Heritage Sites, on Gate 1’s seven-day Peruvian tour.

You’ll see Peru’s capital, and the fourth largest city in the Americas, Lima, as well as smaller villages and ancient ruins. Gate 1 knows that the best adventures are the ones you never remember planning. All this one requires is a couple of clicks, which will fade from memory the second you touch down in Peru and check in to your first-class hotel.
