Overview

For many visitors to Peru and South America, a visit to the Inca citadel of Machu Picchu is the most anticipated highlight of their trip. Set in a spectacular Andean landscape, it is the most famous archaeological site on the continent. This awe inspiring ancient Inca city was never discovered by the Spanish conquistadors and remained hidden among the mountains until the early 20th century, when it was rediscovered and became one of Peru’s most iconic travel destinations. Entrance to Machu Picchu is included, subject to availability, and it is highly recommended to secure your spot in advance due to limited daily tickets.
