Learn more about Machu Picchu

Ancient stone steps lead to a lost Incan city where temples and terraces defy gravity against mountain backdrops. Llamas graze nonchalantly as you explore the Temple of the Condor and Temple of the Sun, both masterpieces of precision stonework. The Intipunku (Sun Gate) rewards early risers with the classic postcard view that's worth every step of the climb. After exploring the Historic Sanctuary, soak tired muscles in Aguas Calientes Hot Springs in the nearby village. The Butterfly Farm offers a colorful counterpoint to stone ruins. Arrive early to experience the mystical morning fog lifting to reveal the citadel – a moment that explains why travelers endure altitude sickness and predawn hikes for this singular view.
