Machu Picchu Tour

This excursion takes you on a full day’s tour of one of UNESCO’s most famous World Heritage Sites, Machu Picchu, submerging you in the history of Inca civilization. You’ll be left feeling awe struck and gobsmacked at the engineering genius of the Inca who, devoid of metal tools, the wheel, drafting animals, and mortar to seal the bricks that built the Machu Picchu citadel, were able to erect ancient infrastructure that have since weathered the storms of age and earthquakes to survive a 500 year history.

Lying at an elevation of 2,430 m / 7,972 ft. above sea level, this Peruvian cultural gem lay hidden among the rainforests, slopes, and peaks of the Andean mountain range for over 400 years until it was rediscovered in 1911 by Yale University history lecturer, Hiram Bingham III.

Machu Picchu is composite of a captivating ancient urban area and impressive cascading agricultural terraces. Machu Picchu’s urban area features interesting infrastructure like the Intihuatana, the Temple of the Sun, and the Room of the Three Windows.
