Machu Picchu sits at roughly 2,430 metres (7,970 feet) above sea level in the Andes. It’s a UNESCO World Heritage site and still, a century after Hiram Bingham, the clearest surviving window into Inca urban planning.
Peruways on the ground
Peruways handles the logistics — train, shuttle, ticket, guide — and runs tours where the commentary is specific enough to actually land. You hear who built the Temple of the Sun and why, not just that it’s old.
What you’ll see
- The ridgeline: Andean panorama from Huayna Picchu round to the Vilcanota gorge.
- The stonework: granite joined so tightly you can’t fit a knife blade between the blocks.
- The ritual spots: the Intihuatana stone, the Temple of the Three Windows, the Royal Tomb.
Why Peruways
- Guides who know the site: history, not platitudes.
- Clean logistics: train and shuttle timing worked out, no scrambling in Aguas Calientes.
- Add-ons: Sun Gate hike, Huayna Picchu permit, Inca Bridge detour.
