Start your journey on the ancient Incan trail, surrounded by lush vegetation and stunning mountain scenery. When you arrive, be ready to be amazed by the incredible remnants of the past, including the famous Temple of the Sun.
LOCATION
Machu Picchu, nestled high in the Peruvian Andes, is a masterpiece of ancient engineering and design. Known as ‘The Lost City of the Incas,’ this UNESCO World Heritage Site sits about 80 kilometers northwest of Cusco, perched at around 2,430 meters above sea level. Its secluded position among towering mountains and misty cloud forests adds an enchanting allure that continually draws adventure-seekers worldwide.
HISTORY
Let’s dive into the captivating story of Machu Picchu. Built in the mid-15th century under the reign of the Incan emperor Pachacuti, this site was mysteriously abandoned about a century later during the Spanish Conquest. Hidden from the world until American historian Hiram Bingham discovered it in 1911, Machu Picchu’s purpose is still a mystery, with debates ranging from a royal retreat to a sacred sanctuary. Whatever its true purpose, it stands as a monumental achievement in Incan architecture and city planning.
GETTING THERE
Reaching Machu Picchu is an adventure all its own. The journey typically begins in Cusco, which is an easy flight from Lima, Peru’s capital. From Cusco, you can enjoy an enchanting train ride to Aguas Calientes—your stepping stone to Machu Picchu. There’s a variety of travel experiences to choose from, complete with stunning panoramic views and exquisite dining. Once in Aguas Calientes, buses are ready to take you on the final trek. For those in pursuit of adventure, the famous Inca Trail offers a thrilling four-day hike through stunning landscapes, ending with the remarkable sunrise at Machu Picchu.

Meanwhile, the rainy season (November to April) provides lush scenery and fewer tourists, despite the rainfall. Remember your rain gear and sunscreen, as the weather can change quite unexpectedly.
WHEN TO GO FOR MACHU PICCHU HUAYNAPICCHU TOUR
Choosing the best time for your Machu Picchu Huaynapicchu Tour really depends on what you prefer. If you like smaller crowds and don’t mind a little rain, the rainy season (November to April) is perfect. But if you’re after sunny days and clear skies, aim for the dry season (May to October). Expect peak tourist traffic from June to August. For a mix of pleasant weather and fewer crowds, consider visiting during May or September. Always be prepared for swift weather changes with the right gear.
BIODIVERSITY OF MACHU PICCHU
Machu Picchu isn’t just a historical marvel; it’s also a paradise for nature lovers. Located in the Peruvian Yungas, a biodiversity hotspot, the area is a lively ecosystem. From the majestic Andean condor to the elusive spectacled bear, the wildlife is simply astounding. With over 200 orchid species, your trek becomes all the more enchanting.
SAFETY
Your well-being is our main priority during the Machu Picchu Huaynapicchu Tour. Stick to the marked trails and respect all site boundaries. Wear sturdy shoes suitable for rugged terrain and be mindful of altitude sickness—acclimating in Cusco before your trek is advised. Stay hydrated, eat light meals, and take breaks when needed.
