Machu Picchu

Machu Picchu is the 15th-century masterpiece of the Incas, whose empire stretched across western South America. The famous Inca ruins sit on an impressive mountain ridge 2,430 metres (7,970 ft) above sea level, overlooking one of the most stunning landscapes in the world. To witness Machu Picchu is to be in communion with the great Inca civilization. Let us take you there. All tours are fully customizable.

Explore Machu Picchu

Machu Picchu is one of the wonders of the world. It is a building that expresses the inca view: a temple in connection to a natural site. You will admire its stone ruins and also the beauty of the surroundings that were considered by the Incas a place of worship.

Up to 2,500 people can visit the archaeological site of Machu Picchu each day. The best time to go is in the morning or late in the afternoon. There a fewer people around and it s easy to find moments of quiet to take in the magical setting.

Here men s feet rested at night, next to eagles feet, wrote the Chilean poet laureate Pablo Neruda in his ode to Machu Picchu. The Inca citadel in the sky was built under the reign of Pachacutec (Pachacuti) and then abandoned less than 100 years later. In the aftermath of the Spanish conquest in the 1530s, many Inca cities were destroyed. But Machu Picchu survived almost intact.

A trip to Machu Picchu is an unforgettable journey through the rise and fall of the Inca Empire. You ll begin in Cusco and Sacred Valley, where South America s greatest civilization was born. Then travel by train, or hike the Inca Trail, to reach the remote mountaintop citadel. Take time to admire Machu Picchu s temples, dwellings, and storerooms; explore its maze of pathways; and climb some of its 10,000 steps.
