Exciting Peru 2008 Itinerary Announced

MINNEAPOLIS — (Dec. 26, 2007) — Home to one of the “New Seven Wonders of the World,” Peru is seeing more and more visitors as awareness of the fascinating landscape and culture of the country grows. Macy’s Travel has just introduced a fall 2008 tour of Peru entitled, “Experience Peru: Mystical Machu Picchu,” taking visitors to Lima, Cusco, the Sacred Valley of the Incas, and Machu Picchu, from Sept. 27 through Oct. 3, 2008.

This eight-day, seven-night adventure includes round-trip airfare from a number of U.S. cities, airport transfers, deluxe accommodations, ground transportation, numerous meals, flights within the country, English-speaking local guides and a Macy’s Travel host throughout the tour. For travelers interested in getting off the beaten path, an optional two -day extension will bring visitors to Lake Titicaca, the world’s highest navigable lake. Details of this tour are presented to travelers in a customized, pre-departure travel packet which provides more information to help prepare for the trip.

In the fall of 2007, Macy’s Travel took a group of 15 people to Peru for an experience of a lifetime. One person recalls, “The pre-Columbian Inca ruins are remarkable…It was truly a trip back in time. The people are friendly, they enjoy foreign visitors, and the language barrier was minimal. The meals were fantastic, the accommodations beautiful, and we learned and enjoyed so much more than we would have had we planned our trip on our own!” Deb Tomyszak, Minnesota. Macy’s Travel is expecting even more registrants this year for the “Mystical Machu Picchu” tour after the success it saw last year.

On Jan.12, 2008, Macy’s Travel will host its annual Travel Expo at Mall of America® in Bloomington, Minn. Consumers will have the chance to talk to Macy’s Travel representatives about the exciting itineraries and tour packages available for travelers to Peru. Mall of America is the largest mall in the U.S. at 4.2 million square feet and is the perfect venue to host this year’s Macy’s Travel expo. Last year’s annual expo welcomed over 2,000 people. This year’s attendee numbers are expected to exceed last year.
