Journeys to South America for vacations without help with scheduling and organization can be very confusing for the average person. There are advance tickets for entrance to parks and other attractions to be purchased and lodging accommodations to be made, often prior to purchase of your travel tickets. These problems and others are the main reason that many people select one of many available Machu Picchu Iguazu Falls tours to help with their trip agenda.

These two locations are very popular sites for tourism but they are difficult to maneuver because they are in two different countries. Further complications arise when you consider that they are on opposite coasts of the continent. You will find the Inca ruins in the high Andes in Peru while the waterfalls can be found on the border between Brazil and Argentina.

You will be able to access the waterfalls from either side of the river providing you have Visas from both countries. You will find a series of plank walkways to cross certain areas and access platforms that enhance the views and photo opportunities. This series of waterfalls encompasses over a mile of area and you will find over two hundred fifty individual waterfalls including the Throat of the Devil a massive U shaped funnel of water that is a highlight for tourists.

A reasonably short boat ride will bring you to the foot of the waterfalls on the lower river. With the amount of water constantly falling into the river there is a mist that creates rainbows at all times of day. Riders will also be treated to a birds eye view of the forest and its inhabitants on the trip to the waterfall base.

Visiting the Lost City of Incas is an adventure you will never forget. It is located in the Sacred Valley of Machu Picchu in the Andes Mountains. It can be reached by train or by shuttle bus after arrival in a major city of Peru. The train journey takes around four hours each way and is one of the most scenic rides you can find. The shuttle bus takes approximately twenty minutes and will deposit you at the entrance to the ancient city.

Most travelers arrange for lodging for at least one night prior to touring this archaeological site. The site opens at seven in the morning and closes at five thirty in the evening. It will be necessary to reserve your passes to this site prior to your arrival. Tickets are not sold at the entrance and numbers are limited by the government.

You are not allowed to carry food or beverages into the ruins but you can purchase them from cafes outside the walls. The lodge also offers meals and refreshments to those who were overnight guests. Other hotels in the area will also prepare box lunches for their guests.

Using a tour guide company can greatly alleviate the hassle that goes along with intercontinental travel. You will be provided with all information you need to prepare you for a trouble free vacation and an exciting visit to South America.
