Excursions

Optional Excursion: Machu Picchu

Optional Excursion: Machu Picchu

Machu Picchu, on the other hand, is an ancient Incan citadel nestled high in the Andes, about 2,430 meters (7,970 feet) above sea level in southern Peru. Built in the 15th century and later abandoned, it remained hidden from the outside world until its rediscovery in 1911 by Hiram Bingham. This UNESCO World Heritage Site is renowned for its sophisticated dry-stone construction, panoramic mountain views, and mysterious history. Scholars believe Machu Picchu may have served as a royal estate or religious site. Today, it is one of the most iconic archaeological sites in the world, attracting millions who hike the Inca Trail or take the train to witness its majestic beauty.
