WELCOME TO MACHUPICCHU FOR LESS

MACHUPICCHU: The ruins of Machu Picchu, "lost" city of the Incas, perch precariously on the spine of an impossibly beautiful green mountain 120 km from the ancient imperial capital of Cuzco, Peru. Miraculously missed by Spanish invaders for three hundred years, it wasn't until American historian Hiram Bingham was led to the site in 1911 that the outside world learned of its existence. The finish line of the modern Inca Trail, your first glimpse of the site upon cresting the final pass at sunrise is a spiritual experience. Surrounded by steep valley on all sides, rising mist floating past stone terraces and grazing llama, Machu Picchu is one place that always lives up to its mythical status.

THE INCA TRAIL: gracefully winding through the jagged peaks and high-mountain jungles of Peru on its way to the ancient citadel of Machu Picchu, is what "adventure travel" is all about. No other place on earth combines such spectacular natural beauty with such marvelous intrigue. Over a distance of only 27 miles, the Inca Trail passes through high-mountain desert, cloud forest, mountain passes with elevations of nearly 14,000 feet and orchid-rich jungle on its way to Machu Picchu, "The Lost City of the Incas." The Trail seems to traverse and transcend both space and time as trekkers along the route experience the same stunning vistas -- and the same inexplicable sense of power -- as those seen and felt by the ancients on their pilgrimage to Machu Picchu during the height of the Inca Empire.
The Simpsons visit Machu Picchu in Cusco, Peru:

As Machu Picchu becomes increasingly popular, more and more celebrities choose to visit the Inca Citadel and be engulfed by the Peruvian city's magical wonder.

Aside from backpackers and everyday tourists, Cusco, the "Bellybutton of the World", has been visited by celebrities such as Bill Gates, Cameron Diaz, Alicia Keys, Olivia Newton John and many others. To this list, we can now add The Simpsons.

In a recent episode of the U.S. animated sitcom, Homer, Marge and their children set off on the vacation of a lifetime only to lose Bart in the city which was recently named one of the wonders of the world.

While the story of the Incas was exaggerated and historically inaccurate, the show was enjoyed by millions of U.S. fans, reported Terra News.

The show starts with Homer, Marge, Lisa and Maggie atop llamas in Cusco. Homer chews on coca leaves in the hopes of finding his lost son in the city of Machu Picchu.

This episode, which was written by John Frink and guest starred Denis Leary and Brian Grazer, is called "Lost Verizon" and is part of The Simpsons twentieth season
