About Machu Picchu

Machu Picchu stuns even seasoned travelers. This 15th-century Incan fortress sits at 7,970 feet above sea level, cradled by the Andes' lush peaks. The precision stonework—walls fitted without mortar—reveals advanced engineering. Terraced gardens cascade down mountainsides. The Temple of the Sun aligns perfectly with celestial events. Arrive early to have the site nearly to yourself before crowds overwhelm. Whether you hike the famous Inca Trail or take the train, the first glimpse of these ruins will steal your breath.
