We travel to Nazca, site of the mysterious Nazca Lines.

people between 200 B.C. and 600 A.D. En route, enjoy lunch at
Haucachina, a desert oasis built in the 1920s as a French-style

town that comes alive on market day.

Cuzco, Monasterio del Cuzco:
Experience days and nights in the hallowed colonial San
Antonio Abad seminary, built more than 300 years ago and known
today as the Hotel Monasterio. While providing you with the
comforts and quality of a modern five-star hotel, it is the only
Museum Hotel where you can experience a unique encounter with
Cuzco's Inca and Spanish traditions.
The decoration and furnishings combine the best of modern and
traditional Spanish colonial style, many of them with charming
views of the city or the colorful rooftops of Cuzco. You can
feel the presence of the past as you are pampered with every
luxury and modern comfort.
The original architecture and design of the Monasterio has not
been significantly altered, and thus the rooms reflect their
origins as a home for Jesuit seminarians. There are no two rooms
alike and they all vary in size and format.
The Hotel Monasterio has taken steps to alleviate altitude
sickness by introducing an oxygen supplementation system in some
rooms. Travcoa has reserved these special rooms for your
comfort.
