Machu Picchu - Private Travel

High above the Urubamba River Valley, the last of a great civilization could be your first taste of southern Peru. Machu Picchu is one of the most famous archaeological sites in the world—misty, mysterious, and a mountain of adventure. Test your fortitude and tick your bucket list with a trek to this ancient Incan citadel on an 8,000-foot-high ridge in the Andes Mountains. Considering it contains no mortar, this ancient city is a stunning achievement in sophisticated architecture.

Built in the 1450s and abandoned a century later, Machu Picchu was forgotten until the early 1900s when it was discovered by American explorer Hiram Bingham, who reintroduced it to the world. Restored in the 1970s, it encompasses 125 square miles with 200 buildings on wide terraces around a central square, divided into what were once urban and agricultural sections. Recent excavations have suggested the Incan city was a terraced farm, a sacred ceremonial site,

and an astronomical observatory.

Visitors climb the stairs to the Sun Gate, spend time with the views at the Watchman’s Hut, and climb Huayna Picchu for even more stunning vistas. Advance planning is essential, as Peruvian authorities closely monitor the comings and goings of the approximately 1.5 million visitors per year—and you could be one of

them.

Don’t feel like hiking the world-famous Inca Trail? Take the luxury train and relax on your way to the top.
