Machu Picchu sits at about 2,430m (7,970 feet) above sea level, lower than Cusco at 3,400m. Peruways runs trips there with licensed guides, train and shuttle transfers, and entry tickets bundled in one booking.
From the upper agricultural terraces you look across to Huayna Picchu and down into the Vilcanota gorge below. Guides on the ground cover Inca history — the Pachacuti era construction, the Hiram Bingham rediscovery, the significance of the Intihuatana stone and the Temple of the Sun.
Reserve at Peruways.
