Overview

You will enjoy an unforgettable visit to the Historical Sanctuary of Machu Picchu, an authentic Wonder of the World, located 2,430 m above sea level, in the middle of a tropical forest and in an environment of extraordinary beauty. It was probably the most surprising urban creation of the Inca Empire at its height, its gigantic walls, terraces and ramps seem to have been carved naturally into the continuous rocky escarpments. The natural environment, on the eastern slopes of the Andes, encompasses the upper Amazon basin with its rich diversity of flora and fauna.

This is an unforgettable round-trip experience from your hotel to the towering mountains surrounding the site of Machu Picchu.
