Day 2 — Cusco - Machu Picchu
Travel by train to one of the New Seven Wonders of the World - Machu Picchu.
Known as the "Lost City of the Incas," Machu Picchu was long shrouded in legend until its rediscovery in the early 20th century, when stories spoke of a mysterious ancient city hidden deep within the rugged Andes of Peru. Owing to its sacred, mysterious, and spiritual atmosphere, Machu Picchu has been listed among the world's top ten historic and sacred sites.
The ancient citadel sits at an altitude of 2,280 meters, flanked on both sides by cliffs rising approximately 600 meters, with the Urubamba River flowing endlessly through the valley below.
In the Inca language, "Machu Picchu" means "Old Mountain Peak." In 1983, Machu Picchu was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site and is one of the few places in the world recognized for both its cultural and natural significance.
Upon arrival, your guide will assist you in taking a bus up to the Machu Picchu archaeological site, offering spectacular views of the winding Urubamba River far below the cliffs along the way. Once there, begin a guided exploration of the magnificent Inca sanctuary, including the agricultural terraces, ceremonial areas, and residential quarters. After completing the classic route with your guide, you will have free time to explore the ruins at your own pace.
Afterward, take the bus back down to the town for lunch. In the afternoon, board the train for the return journey to your hotel in Cusco.
