During the height of the Inca Empire’s power, around 1450, Machu Picchu was likely constructed. Pachacutec Yupanqui 1438–1471 and Tupac Yupanqui 1472-1493, two Incas, ruled the Empire during this time.
The Peruvian state designated this Inca citadel as a Protected Natural Area in 1981 due to its impressive cultural and natural attractions and well-preserved ecological environment.
UNESCO also gave a World Heritage Site designation. Up to 350 bird species, 200 orchid species, ten ecological zones (from glacial peaks to tropical zones), a network of Inca trails, and numerous archeological sites can all be found in this sanctuary. The mythical city of Machu Picchu is not the least, though.
Machu Picchu is located 80 km (50 miles) northwest of Cusco (Peru) at 2,430 Hotels, 450 meters from the Urubamba River. It is about 112 kilometers from Cusco by train. This Inca site is encircled by massive, steep mountain ranges divided by slender valleys and vast ravines. Machu Picchu National Park is necessary for its archaeological value and various ecosystems.
No trip to Peru is complete without visiting Machu Picchu (“Old Mountain” in Quechua).
One of the last citadels found in the Peruvian Andes, Machu Picchu is visited by tourists who preserve its ground-breaking archaeology. Visit the Cusco region of Peru and find incredible adventures and landscapes that will leave you speechless from such beauty, without a doubt.
The ruins of Machu Picchu open at 6 a.m. Machu Picchu’s new entrance times begin at 6:00 a.m. to noon. Also, you can visit between 2:00 and 5:00 p.m. with a maximum time of three hours if you have a general Machu Picchu ticket.
Large backpacks are not permitted at the Machu Picchu site. Twenty-five liters is the maximum size allowed. You can leave your luggage in the hotel’s storage space in Aguas Calientes or the lockers at Machu Picchu.
There is a restroom at the entrance of Machu Picchu; be sure to visit the bathrooms before entering. There are no restrooms inside the Inca city. The cost is approx. 0.75 USD.
Get to Machu Picchu by Train: Several train stations depart train services at different times, such as the San Pedro, Poroy, Urubamba, Ollantaytambo, and KM 82 train stations. If you hire Kondor Path Tours, you won’t have to worry. You’re welcome since our transportation will accompany you on the contracted excursions, and our tour guides will handle everything.
Get to Machu Picchu Tour on hikes: Kondor Path Tours offer you excellent and spectacular walks through the Andes and the Amazon from Cusco to the northwest, such as the Inca Trail 04 Days and the Inca Trail 02 Days if you are an adventure seeker. These two mountain routes are a fun experience and world-famous.
In Quechua, Huayna Picchu means Young Mountain, and although it has a little-known name, this mountain appears in all the best-known photos. Exploring it often attracts adventurous visitors to the historic Machu Picchu sanctuary.
The climb up is moderately challenging; you’ll encounter narrow paths and breathtaking scenery. Since the hiking trail is one-way, the descent is on the opposite side, allowing you to see both sides of the mountain in one spectacular journey.
