  • Historic Sanctuary of Machu Picchu
    The "lost city of the Incas" is the reason why thousands of people arrive in Peru. Hidden among the vegetation, get closer to our past through its rooms, temples, bridges, and religious sites, built in communion with the surrounding landscape. Take a 2.5-hour guided tour of the site which explains the origins behind this awe-inspiring citadel and its most prominent landmarks. Consider that to preserve the Historical Sanctuary of Machu Picchu, as well as its condition as World Heritage, the Ministry of Culture has established a maximum of 4 hours per person to stay in the Sanctuary. After the guided tour, you can stay on your own until completing the maximum time established or return to Aguas Calientes.
