Homer Simpson visits Machu Picchu in 2008.

When a stream of A-list celebrities began flocking to Machu Picchu (including Leonardo DiCaprio, Cameron Diaz, Susan Sarandon, and Richard Gere), perhaps the famous of them all was the Simpson family. In the episode “Lost Verizon,” the family arrives at the lost city searching for Lisa; Marge falls asleep and receives a lecture on Inca history from a stone idol. Unlike most families that visit Peru from overseas, the Simpsons drive home.

 

Now it’s your turn to visit Machu Picchu-

Regardless of how you travel to Peru or return from Peru, if you’re a true adventurer you would love to take a horseback tour to Machu Picchu.

 

 

Here’s a quote from one horseback traveler to Machu Picchu:

And here’ s the riding trail map:
